How many guns do you NEED?

how many guns do I actually need?

1 handgun for home defense 1 rifle for SHTF.

I own a 9mm cz75b for home defense, and I own a .22 cal bolt action Winchester wildcat for SHTF
 
Uhh... More. Lol.

I love the tool analogy, my buddies are always shocked by all the speciality tools I have (torx: inverted, "tamperproof": all the Allen's, flare wrenches, 4way wrenchs, manufacture specific tools, 4wd hub sockets, hub removal tools, etc,). Why do I have all these tools? Not because I really, really have to have them to get my job done. But, on rare occasion, these tools are necessary.
 
partly because I was trying to count in my head and partly because my wife was at the table and I was trying to remember the last plausible number I had admitted to

Wow, almost owed the university a new keyboard and monitor after that one.
 
For purposes of what I use a gun for, which is a reasonable definition of "Need" since the actual "need" as in "can't live without" is something that most of use will never experience, I need about 2 but 4 fills the holes better.

I could survive with my carry gun and a single rifle capable of killing everything else in North America from woodchucks to Moose, which is all I'll ever likely hunt. In practice, 4 is better. Carry gun, light varmint gun, long distance varmint gun, heavy varmint, light deer gun and one for where rifles aren't allowed for deer, either a shotgun or Encore handgun.
