AHHHhh, for a perfect world! I think my wife would give hers to me, though. She's not too fond of guns, actually. It takes some real work on my part to convince her to let me get a new one.
Her refrain is, "How many do you need? Yo'uve only got two hands!"

Her refrain is, "How many do you need? Yo'uve only got two hands!" My granddad used to say you didn't need more guns than *you could swim the river with* though when you addded in the trophies he'd collected after an interesting life, he was probably overloaded even by his own standard, though his most usual companions only numbered a half-dozen or so. But had you added the several trophies he'd picked up along the way, or all the ammo he kept stocked, he'd have surely drownde.
I'm of the opinion that a feller ought to have about as many quality weapons as he has birthdays, myself. And if by chance your family or pals don't present you with something appropriate for your annual celebration, it's a good excuse to pick up a treat for yourself.

Sometimes I wish I had your problem. The sweet young thing who receives the favour of my attention makes do with a folding-buttstock Kalishnikov as convenient when on her motorbike, and when she wants something that reaches out a little farther or hits a bit harder, she generally grabs one of mine that I'd figured on using, and I have to settle for second best instead.
There's a cure for that sort of thing, if just make it clear to her that it's mandatory that when she does so, she has to carry either the baseplate for the mortar or the ammo for the recoilless rifle...

Put your gun safe(s) next to her shoe closet/room/shipping container and she'll quit with that how many do ya "need" line real fast. New issue of American Handgunner has a great story about that....."
Guchi looses to Glock... or something to that effect......:o)
