Life is good when you own more than ten firearms.
I agree with every comment made thus far. Putting me in the "survivalist weirdo" category, while evoking a need to thank, really isn't fair. I'm more concerned with the well-being of my family, friends and myself. NOLA has proven that the Feds can't affect adequate protection in the aftermath of a national tragedy.
I once had a conversation with a cousin who is rabidly anti-gun. We were talking about the MO "shall issue" CCW law, and she was shocked to hear that the guy she was dating kept a handgun at his place of business for protection. After berating him for a while, she looked at me and sneered, "And you have a gun too, don't you..." I answered, "no, I don't have 'a gun.' I've got 17 guns!"
Since then, I've sold one that I really didn't have any use for... It was a PPC competition handgun that a buddy of mine who was interesting in starting PPC and Action Shooting wanted to try.

If you know the exact number you have, you don't have enough.
Ten?
You set your standards awfully low.
