If love was a gun...Follow

Do bows count? I own an explodeing arrow and a "shotgun" flechette arrow, to go with my PSE 55 lb takedown recurve. I want to upgrade to a competition 30 pound aluminum model some day, as this 55 pound bow really obliterates targets, but that's a project for another year I think

Planning on shooting down some helicopters?

**** helicopters. And zepplins

I'm not familiar with all the specifics of gun "ownership" in the context of military or police settings.

Assume "own a gun" to include any scenario where there is a firearm in your constant possession while in a private residence. If you have to leave your gun at the office, as it were, then just say you've operated.

If he takes it home at night, he "owns".

Sooner or later you people will have to take the phrase "best describes your condition" and work in some independant thought on your own

Yeah, I guess I'm a gun owner.

I've kicked around the idea of getting one a time or two before. I guess I'm still on the fence.

My grandfather is an avid hunter and ownes many fancy rifles, but I grew up in a house that didn't have any. I was outright scared of them, like, to the point of not even wanting to hold one.

Basic training fixed that, heh. I found out I am actually a really good shot, and I loved going to the firing range. I would like to go again in a civillian setting because I have never shot anything but an M16 and I am curious about other things. My husband wants a handgun, but I am really against having one in the house. I see no point, and I am afraid of children finding it, even with extra precautions.

I suppose I am a weird southerner.

This seems like a covert attempt for Joph to find out who's going to be packing at Boston.

People should be put to death for suggesting crap like this.

I do not yet own a gun but I will be purchasing one for home defense and recreational shooting some time in the near future. Most likely a Beretta M9 or similar.

I used to do skeet shooting and that was a blast especially when I could hit more than half the skeets. My Uncle has a 125ish lb pull crossbow and a 70ish lb pull compound. I havn't been able to fire either in a long time because he no longer lives out in the country. I can see why you would want a smaller pull bow for competition shooting and a 50 or 70 becomes tiresome after a target practice session, especially if it isn't compound.

It is nice to get out to the range once and a while and plink away at a few targets. For those of you who haven't done it before I'd recomend a nice .22 and some tin cans. There are a fair few outdoor shooting ranges scattered around the south, you'd be suprised I think where you could find one.

Just because you're a card-carying liberal doesn't mean you can't go out and blast the hell out of somthing every once and a while. You won't catch teh pubbie.

Hmm, I wonder why gun control people accuse gun owners of being unbalanced, drug crazed whackjobs?

E-bay!

I've never owned a gun & can't imagine I ever will, though I've shot a 22 before. I think I would enjoy skeet shooting, or other target practice type shooting. I wasn't too bad a shot with my brothers' bb guns.

As far as my opinion of personal ownership of guns goes, I have no problem with hunting rifles used for hunting. I have yet to hear people advocate owning guns for personal protection that didn't sound more than a little hysterical and/or paranoid.
