No, but intent to get one. The main reason I don't have one yet is because my mom isn't comfortable with having a gun in her house. Though that is not to say that I don't have any weapons. Smiley

I don't feel like I need one, but I would consider buying one once I own my first home (for protection).

My dad technically owns all of the guns at our house -- but I intend to purchase a handgun one of these days.

That's a given, and I apologize in advance.  I just wanted to see whether people practise what they preach on the subject.  I honestly had no expectations to begin with, as I know that some gun supporters have no intention of owning one, and vice versa.

Three .303s.  Two are antiques.  The other is a Winchester.

Another Winchester 12 gauge shotgun.

A .38 special handgun

A Smith & Wesson pistol of some kind.


Don't ask for more... I'm not a gun freak.  I know how to load and unload them, how to shoot, but model numbers and those irrelevant details... Don't remember that.

I don't shoot that much with guns these days.  I'm more into my compound longbow.  It is good exercise for the arm.

Richius must have a pretty small penis to have all those guns!

I will eventually.  I really don't have the spare cash to buy one, and it's not that pressing, I live in a pretty safe area.  My parents have a gun under the counter at their store, though.

I plan on getting one when I move out. I would get one now but my mom is very unconfortable with it although she is a strong second amendment supporter.  I would get one for protection, I don't think I would hunt though.

Not an outright gun nut, but sure, quite a few. Rifles, shotgun or two, pistols, a couple revolvers. Small caliber, larger caliber - there just always were guns around back to when I was a kid and people used them responsibly, so they're not a big deal. Don't even hunt - target shoot a few times a year, maybe. Used to be a pretty good shot, drawing and shooting from the hip, that is. Used to be able to shoot the tops off of soda bottles from the side.

I guess I'm just not scared enough to want to own a gun.

No, but my grandfather has hunting rifles.  I don't like to hunt and therefore when I move away I will have no reason to get a gun.

No, but I'm a great admirer of antique weapons and will probably purchase them somewhere along the line.

I own more than one. Grin

But I have never hunted, nor do I ever intend to.
