Do you own a gun?

[disney1990]

Yes, a shotgun. Sentimental because it belonged to my Dad who died over 50 years ago.

 

[shortbun]

Just a simple 'no' is my answer. So, I chose 'other.'

2-Rifles
2-Shotguns
3-Handguns (wife and I both have concealed carry permits)

 

[SLP958]

Yes, handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Always had them around growing up too. My husband and I both have concealed carry permits. My husband usually has his with him all the time. I never carry mine.

When I married DH, he 'came with' some shotguns. His family is from the west where it is more customary to own shotguns and rifles. His parents owned a farm and shotguns were necessary to kill predators. DH used to skeet shoot with a friend. DH's eyesight is no longer good enough for him to shoot, so he has disposed of most (but not all) of his shotguns. I think it is mainly nostalgia for him.

My dad went hunting a few times when I was growing up, but not often and we didn't have a gun ourselves.

I do not own guns and have no plans to.

Two. A handgun and a rifle.

 

[soccerdad72]

I've never owned one, but my dad is a hunter, so growing up, he always had his hunting rifles in the basement.

 

[chicagodisneyfan]

No guns and never plan to get one.

Have no need for a gun.

 

[1Mouse2RulethemAll]

DH and I have some and both our girls repeatedly get the "if you see a gun, don't touch and tell and adult" speech. So far they have shown zero interest in them.

[Patience]

Yes. Well, to be precise, my husband does.

 

[DizBelle]

Tread carefully. The mere mention of the g-word is forbidden here.

 

[jen0610]

Yes. There is a handgun, 2 shotguns and a rifle. My husband is a hunter as well.

Kids know about the guns. DS 15 has been ttaught to use and shoot the gun from a young age. They both know all about gun safety. We have never had an issue with "curious" m inds. They know that guns need to be respected.

This is what we did with our kids. They have had it drilled into them since they were little, that guns are not toys.

Yes I own several guns, getting ready to buy a new high powered rifle for hunting and a handgun, I know I'm going to be listed now as one of the gun nuts rushing to buy my guns, but had planned on doing this last summer. All guns locked and secured like they should be.

But I don't know if Spongebob is the same as a Pink Hello Kitty one.

DH has several. I enjoy shooting but don't have a gun of my own yet. Probably will eventually. DH has his concealed permit, but I don't really care to do that. He carries all the time, and if he can't he feels naked without it. He is a hunter, and enjoys just target practicing too. He's made a nice target range at our place up north.

I had a pink .22 Sig Mosquito, but DD15 has claimed that as her range gun, so I just had to buy the purple .22 Sig Mosquito when it came out.

Two. A handgun and a rifle.

Are you sure you have enough to hold the Zombie horde off until those with reservation show up to bunker down with you and ride out the Zombie apocalypse.

I swear I am going to stop posting. Everything keeps double posting on me. Ugh!!!!

 

[KDIPIAZZ]

Two gun safes full ... and a reloading set-up in the basement.

 

[donaldlovesdaisy]

I don't personally but husband owns many and he also has a concealed carry weapon.

 

[ENSOCK]

We own several. Growing up my father was a big hunter. He still has his guns at the house. My DH and sons hunt and own several different types. No assualt rifles. DS13 also does shooting sports for 4H, so we have the stuff for that. they were taught very young about guns and gun safety.

 

[MeetingMickeyin2006]

Yep, we own guns. And if you come into my house uninvited, you WILL see them.

 

[MomofKatie]

No, although I'm in the minority in the area where I live. I very much doubt I'd ever want to own one.

My dad had a couple deer hunting rifles when I was growing up, but I don't remember ever seeing them in the house. He must have either hidden them really well, or kept them off our property. He sold them after going deer hunting once after we moved to GA- said it was too depressing after hunting in WI, MI, and Canada. I guess he thought the deer were too little in the south!!

 

[donaldlovesdaisy]

Handguns? No.

Shotgun/rifle for hunting? Yes.

Oh, DS also has a BB gun, but I don't know if that counts or not.

he might shoot his eye out!
