    I know of a guy that did a experiment and concealed carried 14 guns on his body . I did not see that adventure but he posted about it , he also stated how that felt .


    I did answer your question in a honest way .

    Hell, I won't even tell my wife how many guns I own. Why would I tell a stranger?

    How do I know you're not my wife?

    Someone once asked her how many guns I have. She just laughed and said, "I don't think he knows."

    Friendly hint: you're maximum 10+ is way too low to yield useful results. That will be 90% of respondents.

    To the OP , the gun community in Maryland and in other parts of the US is that we are tired of being battered , hated and outcast and called criminals and gun nuts . We are always looking over our shoulders at the next person wanting to take our God given rights from us .
    Maryland is a cesspool of law makers that would walk on broken glass to get our guns by hook or by crook . That is why you are meeting so much resistance . I will agree with others that have posted 10 tens is low for most collectors and gun folks . We are good people that care but we see everything from a different set of glasses .

    Well, damn it. You guys got me. I am not actually a person, just an organization representing all of your wives. :innocent0

    This being an anthropological study and not a strictly statistical or scientific one means that I don't really even need "perfect" data. Even a bunch of people answering '0' to be jerks gives me data.

    I do appreciate the sincere responses though.

    I'd really like to create a few more polls but I don't want to flood the forum and it seems like I can only include one poll per thread. Any suggestions or advice?

    I understand the suspicion and reluctance to give any of this information directly to a stranger.

    I'm sorry, I think you DO NOT understand the reluctance to give this information to ANYONE, esp on line in an open forum.

    I heard of a gun store once that offered a special service to customers. For a small additional fee, they would call the buyer's wife with the announcement that her husband had won the grand prize in the raffle, which happened to be whatever gun the guy had bought.

    Thank you- appreciate the feedback. I definitely understand the feeling, I am the owner of multiple guns and a collector myself. If I actually really *needed* to know how many guns you guys own I would've made the top end higher, but it is more to demonstrate that most of the active users here are actually serious gun collectors (have a collection larger than 10).

    How many pairs of shoes do you have?

    My son’s girlfriend moved into his place. She had five moving boxes of nail polish. Nail polish??? Hundreds of bottles. Maybe thousands. She had no idea how many bottles she had.

    I answered your question as you presented it , I have met many of the men and some women here on this forum and i still don't know last names or where they live or work .

    As we meet many times some of the guard is let down and we share a bit more . I have been a member since 2013 and some members are so anonymous they have never been met .

    Personal information is really a tough one to get . General questions may be easier .
