I'm a relatively new gun owner. I have 2 firearms, and by design I won't have any more for a very long time. I would have just the rifle, but it's often awkward or impossible to take classes and compete without a pistol. My entire system runs on the same caliber, and all of the magazines are interchangeable. It used to be that almost every American household had someone who was a competent shooter, an good cook, a competent musician, a decent craftsperson or repair person of some kind. Times have changed. From what I have seen, only having 1 gun is more common in the African American community and in some parts of rural America.
