Personally, I think having more weapons than you can keep control over is silly.

I can see having a knife, a main handgun, possibly a backup gun, and maybe pepperspray as well.

But by having all that gear (six knives?) there is no way he would be able to keep control over it in a scuffle. A (previously) unarmed assailant could very easily get ahold of one of his weapons without his knowledge or realization until it is too late.

He is over-equipping himself to the point where his extra weapons are becoming liabilities.

I think he needs to remember the old acronym KISS.
