If I was to have only one of any type of gun it would probably be a shotgun. I literally can't imagine buying more than a second shotgun. I have one 12GA and I can't fathom what I couldn't do with it. It shoots skeet and trap ok, I could hunt small game and birds with it, and anything on up to deer. It would be useful as a SD gun for home and I don't need to but I could use it for bears too.

I can see myself with 2 shotguns, 4-5 rifles, and 8-10 handguns. But I admit I could probably do everything I needed with 2 of each, not counting .22s.

What can I say: I'm a hobbyist.
