Do you own a Gun?? US citizens

[runningman]

I was wondering how many on here own a gun. I bring this up because I was in Michigan on Saturday for my family X-mas party and we started talking about guns. Apparently I am the only one in my family that doesn't have a gun (because I live in Canada).

Do you believe in guns for protection?

Or do you think guns are for barbaric meat heads?

I don't own a gun, but I have thought about getting one to have for protection. I have no problem with people owning guns for their own protection or for hunting, sport, etc., but I've never understood the need for assault rifles and things of the like, or the folks that have massive armories in their homes (collectors excluded).

Re: Do you own a Gun?? US citizens

i owned a gun. i have a carrying permit for a handgun in NY state and FLorida. this has nothing to do with protection of home, ganster nonsense, or anything else.

i was often carrying large amounts of cash for clients in regards to payroll and deposits when i worked in accounting. honestly, i think i carried it three times and never had more than a bullet. after awhile of not using it, i realized i have a better chance of being hit by lightning and i wasnt operating in harlem. i turned it in to the police and told them to sell it for charity.

i have a odd POV on guns. BAN ALL HANDGUNS. simple all out ban. only let manufactrurers sell to police and military.

allow large rifles. hunting shotguns, etc. you cant hide these, they provide the same protection for the home. and people have the right to hunt. i love hunting.

but anything that can be hidden in a jacket or pants should simply not be allowed.

Re: Do you own a Gun?? US citizens

So agree with you on hand guns. Let's face it they are onlymade for one thing, to shoot human beings. !!

Just for the record I really don't like any guns, but what you said here makes so much sense!!

The craziest incident that I think about on occasion is the shootings that took place out of the trunk of that guy's car in Virginia Beach in 2003...people wouldn't leave their homes and were afraid to get gas, that was just wild.

No guns here. Can't think of much of a reason to own one. If someone mugs me on the street, I'm going to give them my wallet and hope they don't kill me, not try to pull a fast one on them and shoot it out Old West style. This is not the movies.

^ Others would pull out the gun in that situation but I'd probably do the same thing you did. The gun is kept in case my life or my family's life is in danger, and here in the phoenix area, crazy shit will happen, especially with road rage.

But I also use it as a stress reliever too when I go to the range.

Re: Do you own a Gun?? US citizens

if hand guns are banned it won't prevent criminals from having and using them, but it will prevent citizens from having them to protect themselves and family!

Re: Do you own a Gun?? US citizens

I agree^^^ The bad guys will always have them.

Re: Do you own a Gun?? US citizens

Better to have one and not need one then to want one and not have one.
