Default Lets get a list going!!! how many different Caliber do you have?

Long time ago I used to buy guns that I liked. I'll pick up any guns that I love even without having particular need for them. I thought I was alone until I spoke to Some people recently. They said they currently have over 27 guns!!. They kind of just pick them up on a whim, but none of them are what you would call "collectible", they're just guns in the house.

Over time, I've sold off guns that I'm obviously not going to use and they were just taking up space on the shelf with no chance of being used for anything other that just making sure it would shoot. Now I am left with few guns and I am just wondering what other people have.

Mine are as follow:

22 lr
9mm
38 Special
45 ACP
20 Gauge
.44 Spl
.44 Mag
.223 Rem
.308
.30-06
12 GA
30-06
338 Lapua among others.

I just sold all mine as well.
Which is too bad, because I would have liked to list them on the internet, since there's no registry for me to keep track of them with.

You sir, are 120% correct. Not a single one who listed the cartridges they own nailed it. Now wait for the people to complain, “you know what was ment dont be that guy” funny really that about 80 percent of the gun owners dont know the difference. Ill even take a light hearted poke at Dick, 13,000 posts and he list three .22 caliber guns

If you think I’m daft enough to post about everything I own, you’re somewhat deluded!

Actually 22lr, and 223rem/5.56 do not use the same diameter projectiles, And his .22 caliber squirt gun may actually be .22"

I keep all my guns at 24 Sussex drive, ottawa, ontario.
If the police come for them, force will have to be used. I also like to try to fool the authorities by shouting crazy things like "I'm the Prime Minister of Canada, man"
Probably the only thing that will subdue me is a thorough beating.

Only criminals and first nations can have guns because they are both inherently more trustworthy than working professionals. I don’t have any.

Although some people refer to both the 22lr, and the .223rem as .22 caliber, they are actually not the exact same caliber. They use a very slightly different bullet diameter. The 22wmr uses the same diameter bullet as the .223rem/5.56.
