Um, I have three. I have duplicates of others was well. Not for any particular reason, just had opportunities to add to the collection so I took advantage.
Also, I do take multiple firearms to training. Never know when Murphy is going to step in.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

three weeks after my wife took possession of my DW Guardian in 9mm, I purchased another DW Guardian in 38 Super. Does that count as a duplicate? to this day, she still doesn't know about the second one.

In a perfect world I would have two of each. Unfortunately I can't afford it, and also, my carry guns are rather unique and I wouldn't be able to buy a duplicate even if I wanted to.

I do not. I just prefer to allocate my gun funds to a purchase different firearms. Unless they are surplus military firearms. Then, I will buy the same firearm but from different manufacturers.

Absolutely, duals of all carry guns. Triples of critical SD guns.
