Just wondering about arsenals, the personal kind, on the books? Should note I live in the middle of nowhere (and I like it). Calling 911 in the event of an attempted break-in isn't useful.

I have:

An SKS, minus bayonet. I keep around a thousand rounds on hand for it.

A single shot 12 gauge. I keep about a hundred rounds for it.

A couple .22s: An AR-7 and a semi auto pistol. The pistol is my home carry weapon. It resides on the web-gear I wear when hiking around here, and otherwise is in easy reach. Web-gear also has a K-BAR strapped to it as well as a folding entrenching tool and first aid kit, canteen, etc. AR-7 is my closet gun. I have about a thousand .22 rounds on hand.

A pink pearl handled Raven .25. More or less it's 'The Wife's' bedside weapon. About a hundred rounds on hand.

An ancient .38 is my truck weapon. I carry it (openly in WV) anywhere it won't get me arrested. About 200 rounds on hand.

I also carry 3 folding blades, a flashlight, and a Gerber multi-tool where ever I go. They're on my belt.

So I'm paranoid, but armed. How about yourselves?

I'm paranoid enough that I'm willing to let the other people find out the hard way whether I'm armed. Tactical surprise is a force multiplier. :)

Nice collection Zero, I'm working on one also. No open carry here thou. They're sure good to have around if the meth heads or thugs try something stupid like home invasion. WV sounds like a good place to live.
