Guns are a hobby of mine, I honestly don't have an exact # in my head right now of how many I own all together, I know its more than 25 and less than 35.
I have guns for just conversation pieces to hunting, target practice, personal protection, armageddon, you name it.

But as for carrying, I can't speak for everyone who carries, but I personally carry for piece of mind that I will be prepared if and when the need ever arises that I have to defend myself or my family from some of the scum on this Earth.

I don't want this day to come, I go through life every day hoping it doesn't and I have a conscience, but if and when that day comes I'll be ready and you better believe I won't be aiming to wound them or slow them down, instead it will be lights out.

Most of my guns are for hunting... I have a picture somewhere of most of them. I'm an avid outdoorsman. Fishing, hunting, plinking... I love it all. There are 3 more guns I want and I'll probably be done for a while. I want a Savage .308 for targets. I want a Bushmaster .223 just to have. I want an XDm .45 for the house. That's all I desire right now.

Ruger .280
Rem .270
Knight .45
Knight .50
Rem 870 12
Mossberg 500 20
Rem .22 Mag
Ruger 10-22

Leupold fan much? 4 of them in that pic and 2 more in the gun cabinet. Got a 6x18 VXIII that I used to have on my .223 before I retired it to the truck. It'd be on my .280 if it wasn't too powerful for the areas I hunt. Don't ask why I have a VXII 3-9 on my .50... I know it doesn't make sense. I have a good friend that owns a pawn shop and I get them cheap. I had a Tasco on the .50 forever because dad wasn't using it and it was just fine for hunting the wooded areas I use. One season it decided to take a dump and wouldn't hold a 1ft group. Just went and got the VXII for 150 bucks and slapped it on in a rush. I had plans of swapping it with the 2-7 but never got around to it.

The last 22 was my grandpas. I have no idea what make it is. It's a single shot. I have a break over 410 that was my mothers that is in storage. There's a .22 and a Jr model .308 in there with it. I have a New England .223 break over Jr. Model that I leave in the jeep for... coyotes... or whatever else I see on the side of the road. I also have a junk .32 that was my grandpas that I've looked at once. It's in storage as well.

When my other grandpa dies, I've been promised most of his gun collection. It includes a couple of Model 1 and a Remmington 45/70 carbine...


Also bow hunt...

This is maybe the only cool part about attending school in Utah. It is the only state in the union where you are legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon on campus.

I know and its BS. Utah probably has one of the lowest crime rates lol.

True story. I wonder if the law and the crime rate are related haha After a truck and some other small things I really want. I believe I will be purchasing something to carry. :)

Not usually a "need" -more that I view the Bill of Rights = Citizen's Bill of Responsibilites, therefore I always carry and have since I was 19.

Arizona also has some pretty fun laws. Like no permit required to carry. Crime rate there is ridiculous though.

It's the truth. Don't ask me why, but that's the way it is now...kinda makes me feel a little uneasy at times.
