2. My question is who do you think you are protecting your family from?
If you are concerned about a random assault or mugging on the street that's one thing and if you are afraid of that happening you should acquire a CCP. On the other hand if you are stockpiling weapons because you fear someone (the government, gang bangers, the cops, or whomever) is going to mount an assault on your home forget it. You will never be able to match those who want to take you out. There are more of them than there are of you and you can only fire one weapon at a time. They're going to get you in the end. If having an arsenal makes you feel safer, by all means go to it.

I'm a collector of antique firearms. I have a FFL for Curios and Relics. There are several dozen firearms in my home. It has never occurred to me that I am more or less safe because they are there. Consequently I don't feel anyone gives a big rats ass that I have them, except my granddaughters who are a bit creeped out by all the guns. And I'm not afraid any asshole politician of the left or the right is gonna mess with me over it either.
