Guns
 

Who owns one?

Not me. :D

my dad does. i have been to the shooting range with him and its fun. as long as you know everything about them and handle them properly (like my dad goes over 1293819083 times - which is GOOD) then you should be ok. but you still have to be super careful.

last month i went to the NRA conferance in pitts, pa for the weekend with my parents, brother, and my best friend. anyone else go?

I'm getting one with a concealed weapons license a.s.a.p. Mind you, I have no children.

Don't now but my husband is in the process of getting one for safety reason. I would let him get one unless he took shooting lessons and also went shooting plenty of times with my dad.

A concealed weapons license...mmmmkay.

where do you live?

I took weapon training for my first job out of college, then the NRA personal protection course a couple years ago. I have a license to carry a concealed weapon.

FWIW, the NRA personal protection course is only 1/3 about correctly using a gun - the rest is very good information on how NOT to be in a position to need a gun, or how to get out of it. I would highly suggest it to EVERYONE!


ETA: Oops! Should have added that my friend in high school had a crush on the Captain of the Rifle Team, and she talked me into trying out. I made the team, she didn't (but I didn't stay on). I usually shoot in the high 90's.

I don't own one, don't need one, and don't really want one. But I want my right to own one to remain.

Georgia:) There's an individual in jail right now for aggravated stalking because of me. No restraining order will keep him from doing whatever he wants. I live alone too.

ETA: I must say, I'm not a random gun toter! I've been trained on nearly all guns (aside from assault weapons). I'm working with my uncle in the ATF to do this thing legit.

hear hear!!!

my bf is a gun colector, so he has a bunch. our first date was actually at the shooting range where i shot a gun for the first time :D

If you find a gun, leave it alone. Don't touch it. Tell an adult.

My husband has one, bought it not long after he graduated college and lived alone. He has taught me the very basics of handling, but I prefer not to. It is kept, unloaded, in its case.

LMAO!

You're nuts.

However, I do think there are certain GCers who should stay away from any weapon!

Yes, own a lot of Weapons, Hand Guns and Long guns!

Registered, no. Govt has way fo gettting to you if you do!

Am I worried about what the new Home Security can do, you bet I am! They can come into your House or Business and not have a warrent.

Do you know, that your phone, cell phone, computor is monitered?:confused:

Yes it is! I did not beleive it when someone from ex Milintary Int. told me that and two weeks later it came out in the news of the computors of listening stations all over the world!

Showed the Computor that monitoried Key Words and hit on them! Those sites, and phone Numbers were then monitered.


Big Bro at its best!:confused:

Desert Eagle .44

Wouldn't let him? Damn what a wuss lol.

Don't own a gun, never shot a gun. My dad and brother hunt (i have absolutely no idea what the thrill is of freezing your ass off in the woods sitting there doing nothing is, but whatever), so we always had rifles in the house. Don't think there's a handgun... not sure, don't care to know.

Just a friendly reminder for all of you gun owners- WEAR EAR PROTECTION as much as you possibly can. In my new job, i've been dealing with a lot of workers comp hearing loss cases, reading a lot of doctor's depositions, and use of guns can really cause damage to your ears!

You didn't see me list what I have, or have access to, did you? :D Although, my handguns are registered, since I can legally conceal them.

since i live in the boondocks- my mom's boyfriend has a ruger rifle .22 and a deer rifle thingy..idk what its called lol- (we have LOTS of deer here along with crazy animals) i think he's only shot it a few times for deer that got hit on the road to put them out of their misery :( its so sad- i don't like guns at all but my best friend (a pi kappa phi) who's in the army (just came back from afghanistan a little banged up but safe and sound:) ) is really into me knowing how to shoot a gun and take self-defence classes- so he took me out in our woods a few days ago and i learned how to shoot a rifle- it was good practice and i'm not so scared of them so i guess thats good

Mom tried to get me to take some classes and then buy a pistol. That freaked me out. If I were ever in a situation where I absolutely had to own one (live by myself, no kids, etc) I would own one. For no other reason would I.
I do support gun owner rights, though. In some countries, banning guns works. Not here. It's too ingrained in our culture to change the rules now. Besides, if you outlaw guns, the only people who have them will be the criminals.

Worth repeating - but most firing ranges require them anymore.

If enough people want to hear a funny story about my brother who lives in the country, I'll tell it - tomorrow.

I've always wanted to get into guns a little bit. Here in Oklahoma, we are able to apply for a license to carry a concealed weapon on us. I just think that'd be kind of cool to know that I could always be "packing".

I'll probably never go through with that though.

My family owns several weapons and one of my high school boyfriends was very into shooting. At some point, I will probably get one of my own, however, I will register it. If you're not going to do anything wrong with the gun, why does it matter who knows that you have it?

I learned all about guns to earn a badge when I was in Girl Scouts. I was given a gift membership to the NRA by a former boyfriend. I attended the NCAA rifle championship University of Alaska Fairbanks (I believe it is 6 years running of taking the NCAA with a co-ed team), and took pistol and rifle marksmanship classes for my PE credits (also bowling, billiards, golf, and country line dancing). Shooting skeet is entertainment as well.

Not too many gun accidents in Alaska by locals, most are by not too bright tourists. Guns are a way of life there. I wouldn't ever go camping without a 45, not that those always stop a grizzly or a moose. On campus at UAA, the campus officers have used their guns more often to kill moose than to apprehend perps. Crazy critters.

I probably won't own one unless I move back to Alaska. The only time some crazy tried to break in through my window, I smacked him on the hand with a shoe and called the cops. If you live on the ground floor or with an accessible window, extra locks and perhaps an iron bar are a must. My roommate learned after that night to not sleep with the window open, and naked.

I would never own a gun and would never date anyone who had a gun. Nobody in my family owns a gun.

There is nothing good you can do with a gun -- protect yourself, maybe, but that's it.

Did Earp just tell us he has lots of unregistered guns at his house and he is aware that the government can find him through his "computor"? Just curious.

I think so. To make sure this is seen:

Yes, I grew up around shotguns and hunting rifles. My grand dad gave me a very nice pair of AYA 12 bore side by side shotguns for my 21st birthday. I have an old JC Higgins .22 bolt action that I learned to shoot with and I have my old 20 bore break open single that I used in high school. Also, I have a Walther .380 and a Ruger .22 pistol I keep locked up in my bedroom. For home protection I have an old Remmington 12 bore pump gun with solid slug rounds and 00 Buck shot as the ready ammo. Also, I have a small collection of original and reproduction black powder revolvers and a black powder shotgun. My Dad has a fine collection as do my Graqnd Dad and my Uncles. Guns are not a preoccupation but we enjoy target shooting and appreciate good workmanship.

Well, actually they are not at my abode.!:)

they are at a Police Officers House, but are near! :D

I am not sure, but I was one of the first to tell you about the super computer that I laughed at untill some friends of MIT and CIA told me about it.

Da, it came out two weeks later!:( Print and TV Media.!

Try a test- try to hurt a member of something, you may never know it unless you are trained to check things!:rolleyes:

See if you are tracked and followed. Well until your maybe proven inocenet.

Do you know your news?

I need some SparkNotes up in here.

Laughing. My. Ass. Off.

That's like saying "You can't really use an airplane for transportation - flying, maybe, but that's it."

To REALLY make it work, it's gotta be in Arabic... That is when the Homeland Gestapo really gets their panties in a bunch. ;) :) :D

I don't like guns and I will never own one. I won't ever have one in my home either.
No one in my immediate family has ever used a gun. Nor does anyone hunt.

I have a 7mm rifle, 20 gauge single shot, 12 gauge pump and a 9mm. I've been around guns my whole life. I got my first gun when I was 7 or 8 years old. I got my first shotgun when I was 10, the 20 gauge single shot.

I don't think I can write that in Arabic, Chuck. That's a lot of pressure. :(

I would never ever own a gun and even if I wanted to there is a lot of red tape to go through in Canada to own one...
