53. I do understand collecting antiques and having a variety for hunting. No problem there.

As I indicated, rural people are more likely to have several firearms for personal protection due to living in a remote location, for invasive wildlife and possibly hunting to suppliment food. I'd probably have either a shotgun and a rifle if I lived out in the country myself for the above reasons. Though with family members who have problems with depression and/or are bipolar, I'd not want to have more and I'd keep that sucker under as much control as I could.

It's the people with bunkers hording for the end of civilization or who, in their paranoia of home invasions from imaginary "maurading government-sponsored liberal queer black or brown biker gangs who want to steal their guns and rape their wimminfolk", leave their multiple firearms fully loaded where anyone - especially children or burglars of opportunity (mostly local neighborhood teenagers and/or their friends) - could get to it at any time that I question.
