before it's considered an "Arsenal". I KNOW the Webster's definition, but what is the 'street' definition of Arsenal? How many firearms are required before that designation applies? I appreciate any applicable input.

I had 31 before that.[:p]
any over 5
For the rest of us there is no number. Only the Govermnets have arsenals.
maybe a knife too would solidify it on a slow news day.
Heavily armed
Gunman
Assault weapon
and many more
are all propagana terms used to brainwash the masses into thinking guns are evil.

Bingo!
Like many things the media has perverted the meaning of arsenal when what they are normally talking about would be closer to an An armory which is a military depot used for the storage of weapons and ammunition.
Now if the media catches you with 3 pellet guns and a box of pellets they can and would call that an arsenal and there are NO firearms involved. I remember one of the gun buy backs people were bringing in all kinds of pellet/BB/airsoft stuff. The media was having a hay day showing off all the guns collected and off the streets and IIRC there were only a dozen or so real guns and most of them were broken.
but by types of guns in the collection.
For example, do 30 lever action 30-30s constitute a modern arsenal?
They might have at one time, but not today.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
But sadly I guess the liberals don't like it.
I don't know. Maybe when you outgun your local national guard unit.
Other than that, Americans can have as many damn weapons as they want.
I think over 20 and you have an addiction, not an arsenal.
quilty of addiction or maybe just a hobby, what if your a coin collector would over 20 coins make you addicted also

I used the term loosely to explain that American can have as many guns as they want and the term arsenal is a bad word that makes the authorities feel entitled to confiscating your tools for having too many.
You don't have a coin addiction, you are just a geek.

Exactly. I think an arsenal is a place where military arms are built/re-built/stored. I don't have one of those.
Arsenal? Hardly.
Way I see it, I could get by with 4 guns. 1 muzzleloader for hunting, 1 handgun for carry, 1 shotgun for home defense and bird/rabbit hunting, and 1 high power rifle for competitive target shooting.
That would be the bare minimum.
With ammo for each, I'm sure they'd say I had an arsenal.

For the media, one AR-15/AK-47 and two magazines. [xx(]

what does arsenal mean? it sounds threatening! menacing in its inanimosity!
Why do they call a collection an Arsenal?
that word makes me nervious...
Is there only a certian number of a certian kind of gun a person can collect without getting permission?
Its not like a person can use more then two at a time...
What is a FIREARM?
Bill
Have a Great Day.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
OOPS, now I see that I have missed the rest of the question. When my dad died, I think we had 400 guns. My mom did consider that to be an arsenal! And they had to go ... bummer!
Well since technically an arsenal is an establishment for the construction, repair, storage and issue of weapons and ammunition the people that have an arsenal in their ________ car/backpack/closet/ect are well set up if they can do all that out of a small space.
