I'm pretty sure the author does not know the difference between need and want.
The author is leaving out the car carry, 3 hunting rifle (for various types of game), BUG, and a competition gun. Also, "concealed carry" will likely equate to at least 3 different guns depending on whether one is wearing light, medium, or heavy clothing. That gets me to 12 as a minimum acceptable number of guns, per person. The poor fellow with only 17 guns is insufficiently armed, IMHO, unless he lives alone.
You beat me to it. If a car owner owns a car that is optimized for the drag strip, a car that is optimized for sand dunes, a car that is optimized for NASCAR racing, a car that is optimized for autocross, a car that is optimized for rock-hopping, a car that is optimized for Indycar super speedway, a car that is optimized for commuting, a car that is optimized for road trips, a car that is optimized for cow-trailing, a car that is optimized for F1 road courses, a car that is optimized for grocery shopping, a car that is optimized for pickup up and delivering people to and from the airport, a car that is optimized for farming, a car that is optimized for the most comfortable ride possible, a car that is optimized for extreme quiet, a car that is optimized for amphibious duty, a car that is optimized for towing a travel trailer, a car that is optimized for etc., etc., etc., DOES HE OWN TOO MANY CARS? Or is he simply well prepared?
Dang it. Now I am not only running out of room in the gun safe, I have to add an addition onto my garage!!!!
