    Ok, it's not much but here I go:

    Ruger 10/22 .22 - my first gun ever given to me by my late grandpa. This is the gun I learned to shoot on. Yes, I learned with iron sites first, lol. Many a TN prarie dog saw their last days with this little gun.

    Berretta 390 12 ga. Semi-auto shotgun - First real introduction into sport shooting was trap/skeet. This was a present from my dad when he noticed I had "natural" abilities with a firearm. Actually won a few competitions back in high school with this one... I think the natural abilities help when both grandpa and dad taught me and both were considered "expert marksmen" in all instances of the military grading, lol.

    Howa 1500 Heavy Barell .308 bolt - My long range setup. Probably the most expensive one too with several mods on it.

    Glock 19, 9mm - daily carry and practice sidearm, lots of mods on it.
    Glock 26, 9mm - will be daily carry for wife (Amazing little weapon!!)
    Glock 21, .45ACP - trial gun when I'm up in the woods or hiking.

    Still left to acquire:
    Noveske N4 SST 12-inch with switchblock
    Benelli M4 12 ga. 14 inch tact set up
    Gemtech Sandstorm (.308)
    Gemtech Halo (5.56)
    Gemtech Blackside (.45)
    Gemtech Tundra (9mm)
    Some sort of .357 revolver.

    After that, it is safe to say, I think I will done. Honestly. After that just a butt load of ammo and tons of practice/training.

    In a fantasy world, I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to get my hands on a Full auto Thompson, M16, or HK MP5, but I can't justify (nor ultimately being a teacher will ever be able to afford! lol) the costs for that.

    Walther P22- Fun plinker/trainer. I've been taking a lot of my friends shooting for the first time this past year, and its a great little pistol to start them out on.

    Ruger Mk III- Another fun plinker, more accurate than the Walther, but not as much recoil.

    S&W Model 19 .357 - Just awesome. Backpacking gun, fun larger caliber gun for friends who don't like the idea of a moving slide.

    Glock 23 .40 - Carry gun when clothing/system/weather allows. Keep it with my LBE for a grab and go system.

    Glock 27 .40 - Full time carry gun.

    Remington (I forget the model #) single shot .22 - My first gun given to me by an old friend, unbelievably accurate with iron sights, and taught me to shoot. One shot with iron sights...better hit what you're shooting at!

    Ruger 10/22 - Modded out (bbl, awesome glass) fun plinker, p-dog rifle.

    NEF single shot 20ga - my first shotgun. Paid $90 for it used in Gunnison.

    Remington 870 Express 12ga- Trap, upland hunting gun.

    Nato M12 .308 bolt rifle- Built on a Mauser 98 action, currently in the shop having a custom stock made for it. Hunting and long range target uses.

    Ruger M77 Mk II .30-06 - My dad's hunting rifle that has since become mine, a lot of fun for p-dogs, also for big game.

    Stag Arms M4gery - Training, defense, SHTF gun.

    Well, lets see... My collection was depleted due to divorce from my first wife back in 2000. Slowly rebuilding since. Also, I re-married in 2004 and had three more children since then. Money is tight, but I'm getting there.

    Rifles:

    Rem 700 in .22-250 w/ Leupold 12X scope
    Rem 700 in .222 w/ leupold 12X scope
    Sporterized P-17 Enfield in .30-06 w/ vintage Redfield 4X scope
    US M1 Carbine Inland Mfg 1943 (one of my favorites)
    Ruger 10/22 Heavy bull barrel, Houge overmolded stock, some Volquartsen internals, trigger worked over to break at 2 1/4 lbs. by my dad.
    Marlin #39 carbine .22 lr.
    AR-15 RRA .223 This one is a work in progress...
    Walther LGR .177 Competition air rifle/Urban squirrel slayer

    Handguns: I'm a little light here.

    Sig-Sauer P220 .45 ACP
    Ruger single-six .22 Lr.

    Shotguns:

    Rem 1100 set up for trap.
    Rem 870 with 7 round mag. Black furniture. Plain old front bead sight. This is my number one go to gun out here where I live. I cannot sing it's praises enough.

    I have many, many more aquisitions to make in the firearms dept. I agree with the concept that less is more, with the exception of guns. If I were to hit Powerball, I could single handedly end the economic slump for firearms manufacturers!

    The whole thought process of this thread has me baffled; less is more? Since when?

    Wait, someone said they have to have a reason to justify buying a gun? I thought the reason to buy any gun was to shoot it. Maybe I'm just not looking deep enough into this whole thing. Then again, if looking deeply into why I buy a gun stops me from buying a gun, maybe it's a bad idea.

    Well, you'll notice I made an exception for firearms. If I were to get suddenly rich it is not beyond the realm of possibility that I would walk into a gunshop, approach the counter, and when the clerk asks "can I help you", I'll look around while pointing at everything and respond, yes, I'll take it. Just give me a number and while you guys are boxing it all up and doing the CBI check, I'll be at the bank getting a cashier's check...
