Do you own a gun?

I inherited a gun... it hasn't been fired in at least 25 years and is all gummed up. I have no ammo for it and keep it hidden from the kids. Not sure why I'm hanging onto it... I should clean it and sell it.

 

Never owned one.

Never touched one.

 

I never owned one. I never fired one. I was around one one time and it made me nervous. I was dating a woman that the guy who owned the gun wanted to date....

 

I have kids around the house...very curious kids.

 

Shotgun guy myself. I don't particularly care for them, however, I've always believed that I should own one to protect my loved ones.

 

I'm not going to answer this question, and you can draw from that what you will, but I think most Americans my age have probably had the opportunity to inherit one or more of them.

 

Never owned one, but I have shot several and have gone hunting more than once. We very nearly acquired one when the wife was considering becoming a P.I., but now that we have a young'un I see it as highly unlikely that we will ever own one.

EDIT: Barring the country banning them altogether. They would probably have to have some sort of grandfather clause and if they were going to take my right to buy one away, I would buy one before they passed said law.

 

At the moment I'm gunless, but my family had a bunch of guns while I was growing up.

A partial list-

30-06

.357

.22 pistol

two .22 rifles

.12 gauge shot gun

.20 gauge shot gun

AR 15

Assorted BB and pellet guns

 

Red Rider BB Gun.

I have shot a handgun once. I have never owned one, never will. You wouldn't want me to.

 

Nope, although I recently completed the Firearms Safety course, so I could go out and buy one if I wanted to.

 

Had a "pitink" gun when I was a kid. It was a Daisy BB gun. We called it that for the noise it made.

 

9mm Baretta

357 (hamerless)

12 guage shotgon

I probaby feel different than some of you, in that with a new baby in the house, I havent thought once about getting rid of any of my firearms.

In fact, the wife is going to be taking a course so she can start carrying one around with her.

 

I don't own any real firearms. I do have a blankfiring replica from some theatre work I've done.

If ever was to get a gun I would want something unique. I think I would want a 17th century musket, 2 dueling pistols, a colt .45 peacemaker with western holster. I might also want an 1873 Winchester repeating rifle, or replica of one.

If you are going to own firearms I figure they should be something interesting.

 

Regardless of many of your opinions, having a shotgun in the house is a very respected and feared home defense weapon. The sound of a round being pumped into the chamber of a shotgun is very distinct. No criminal in his right mind would stick around your house after hearing the chambering of a 12 guage. If you can't keep the kiddies away from it, don't get it.

 

My gun collection consists of:
.357 Glock Model 31
40 cal. Glock Model 23, 22, 35
45 ca. Glock Model 21
Colt AR-15 semi-auto 5.56 rifle
Scattergun-built shotgun, 12 gauge

Wilson Combat Tactical Super Grade model, .45 ACP

Colt Navy Model 1851 revolver .36 cal

M-1 Garand rifle 30-06
SW hammerless .38 special revolver
H&K USP .40 cal

 

I own a few guns:

Smith & Wesson 39-2 9mm
East German Makarov
snubnose 38 revolver

Coming soon:
Glock 40cal
something small and easily concealable...not sure what yet.

Within the next 6 to 12 months, I will take the course and get my CHL.

 

I own merely one handgun - a Ruger P89T 9mm

 

I do have a Daisy BB rifle, and also a crossbow. Yes, a real, 80 lb. pull crossbow, solid walnut stock. Good times.

 

why would I? if my penis was any bigger, i would be splitting girls in half.
