A friend was once being interviewed for jury duty, a case involving a
shooting. The attorney gal who was questioning him asked if he had any
guns himself. He said that he did and she asked him what kinds and how
many. He said he had a shotgun, a .22 rifle, and a .38 revolver
whereupon
the attorney gal said something like "wow, that's quite an aresnal, isn't
it?" He told her that no, he didn't consider it an arsenal, that he
considered an arsenal to be more like a room full of military rifles in
racks, ready for soldiers to use. She then asked him how he would
describe his collection and he replied "I'd say I had a couple of guns."
A person who will understand why a golfer has 15 golf clubs in his bag
cannot understand why a shooter/hunter will have/need more than one gun.
Go figure!
Sometimes a non-hunter/shooter co-worker might ask me how many guns I
owned.
My reply was always "oh, a couple."
