Well, let's see. On any given trip to the store, I may well be carrying my primary, a BUG in a pocket, and another BUG on the ankle just in case I can't get to the other two real easy. Oh, and then there is my new and improved car gun (Calico M950 with 100 rounds of 9MM JHP in the mag).
I suppose a Kalifornian may well consider that to be a bunch, or a gaggle, or whatever. I don't really speak Kalifornian, so I'm not sure what they would call it.

"Arsenal" is the word you're looking for, I think.

Nah, it's gotta be something more "evil" sounding. Maybe a "horde of weapons sufficient to arm a small militia".

I think you forgot assault rifle.
Nope - we don't have "assault" rifles. However, we do have a decent selection of "sport-utility" rifles.

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

A few years ago, I had four. I got up to nine for a while. I had three shotguns, three rifles, and three handguns (including a tiny NAA revolver to fill the revolver requirement ). Due to financial issues, I'm back down to the four I had back when.
