I can see it adding up a lot faster than you might think.
Hypothetically, let’s say you have 2 or 3 people in your family who are avid hunters, lots of people go hunting with their spouses and/or children. And each of you have, let’s say, a deer rifle, a shotgun for turkey and waterfowl, and a .22 for small game. So off the bat that’s about 6-9 guns.
And maybe you started your kid off with a .410 or a 20 gauge shotgun and a smaller .22 rifle for them to learn the fundamentals when they were younger, and when they got older you got a 12ga and a more appropriately-sized rifle for them to use, so there’s another couple guns.
And maybe some of you have different guns for different purposes, maybe you prefer a semi auto shotgun for waterfowl and a pump for upland hunting for whatever reason, or if you live in the suburbs you might be limited to shotgun slugs and straight walled rifle cartridges in the areas you can hunt closer to home so maybe you have a gun that meets those requirements and then another rifle for when you can go hunting in the mountains.
So you can pretty reasonably have a dozen or so guns in your household from just having a couple people who like to go hunting before you even start talking about carry or home defense guns, dedicated range/target shooting guns, or collecting them, etc.
Dude, yeah, some people NOT in a major city, pretty much everywhere else in the country, have firearms lmao.
It’s gotta be people commenting this shit who’ve grown up in a major metropolitan area and never traveled outside their safe zone (aka comfort zone), or in a very strict state in general, or outside the US entirely.
My wife is a self defense instructor, she teaches basic handgun safety, women’s defense, and conceal carry, and covers more too. We’ve both inherited some family heirloom pieces dating back too the late 1800s, WWII, etc. While many may not function and are just for safe keeping and some family history (or like Curios and Relics), 12 is definitely not unheard of and probably on the low side for many families.
It’s just that is not a subject you openly talk about with acquaintances or coworkers you aren’t comfortable around, so I’m sure that original commented would be in for a surprise to know how many people own and or carry one on a daily basis!
First of all, I’m talking about gun ownership in general. Not necessarily about these specific people and their community.
Secondly, unless you have the stats to show that not a single hunting license was sold to anyone with a Chula Vista address, you’re just making a pointless generalization. Sure, it might be very uncommon, but out of around 280,000 people there I think it’s pretty likely that someone there goes hunting.
Finally, that applies to target shooting and such as well, different guns for different types of shooting.

Dude, it’s Chula Vista, no one there is going hunting for recreation.
Even in San Diego you don’t need that many/any guns because it’s not really that dangerous.

The main thing I know that people like to do here with guns is drive out to BLM land and shoot at targets in between going off-roading
Black Lives Matter Land?
Hell yeah
