Do you have a gun in your house?

[Spanish In Physician 295]

I do indeed. I rather enjoy going to the range every now and again, as I have been working on my aim the past few months.

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

No, I have a baseball bat by my bed but in a realistic setting my arms would go too weak to actually use it from being scared.

[Snake 516]

Nope! I don't like guns. If you're gonna hurt somebody, don't be a big baby! Fight like real men! With your fists!
Guns are like cheating!

On a serious note, guns make me uneasy..

[TeeSix 116]

I'm quite opposed to the average joe owning guns, I come from the U.K. and live in New Zealand so they're regulated to within an inch of existence in both countries; I prefer to be interested in guns from an academic standpoint. I do however have a pretty intimidating butter knife. Fear me!

There certainly isn't a gun in my house.

[Kion 7,407]

No I don’t and I never will we don’t do guns in my family never have never will. 

[Lucky Bolt 35,056]

No, but I wish we did. I definitely plan on learning how to shoot someday. 

[CheeryFox 23,816]

Yes. And they're hella cool. 

[Here No Longer 5,276]

My dad has an old .22 caliber pistol that he inherited from his dad. He's used it a few times in fact. Mostly on the dogs when they do things they shouldn't ( though part of that is his own insanity and not really the dogs' fault  ). 

 

Personally speaking on the issue, I see no problem as long as the gun is within reason. Like I don't think the average Joe should have a fully automatic rifle in their house (note I said FULLY and not SEMI), or anything like that. I agree with every amendment in the US Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment is included, however murky the real meaning of it is with modern context. It's unfortunate that most people I see claim that actually don't because they agree with some certain BLATANT violations of the constitution I shall not name...

I own several. I train regularly and they are always there. One never knows if Mr Murphy will knock the door down. And at that point, a gun is better than the phone. 

[Rainbow Dash Swag 285]

Yea I had 2 rifles but we sold them one was a 20 cal and the other was 30-06 but now we have 2 shotguns and a 40 cal with expanding bullets so I think we are pretty well defended

[Dreambiscuit 9,293]

Yes, I have an Enfield revolver. My dad gave it to me when I moved into my own place, for self-defense. It’s a very old gun but I like it and it’s easy to use.  

[IronM17 5,320]

No, I don't have a gun and I also don't want to have one. I am not a fan of guns and besides, the gun control laws here in germany are really heavy and I am not in the mood to request a gun licence. I have a some tools (like my geologist's hammer) which I could use as a melee weapon when I need it (and my attacker is also armed with a melee weapon), but I always hope that I never have to need something as a weapon.

[Phosphor 11,527]

I'm a gun nut, of course I do! I have a large mix of pistols, rifles, and shotguns.  My favorite are antique Smith & Wesson revolvers. Such handcrafted beauties!

I have a S&W Model 10 from 1 year after they stopped making the victory models 

[Treeglow Flicker 13,534]

Yes.

Spoiler

A staple gun.

 

[Fluttershutter 2,353]

Do I own a gun?

I don't know...

(nah, I dont.)

[Sherem 4,807]

I really don't, my country has no money to afford them at all, even decent guns for the army

[Mini 451]

my dad owns guns, but they're stored at his friend's house

[ChikaChan 7,323]

Nope ._. But I do want a certain ww2 gun tho >.>

[Prospekt 11,014]

No. But one day I'd like to learn how to shoot. I might keep a handgun for sport and self-defense. And it might be cool to buy an old vintage revolver or something. Those things are cool.

[Partialgeek514 4,992]

I think it'd be cool to own a gun, but for now, I live in an apartment where I'm not allowed to have a gun, so I'll have to wait awhile. I don't really have the money for a gun right now anyway.

I dont know where you live but if its in the US that is possibly illegal to try to bar your right to ownership. Also if you ever decide to purchase a firearm if you have questions I am always happy to share resources so you can make your own decisions. But then again for all I know you could be a firearms expert so feel free to ignore if you are LOL

Oh no, I'm no expert.  Anyway, I'm just not allowed to have a gun in the apartment. It's not like I couldn't buy one and store it elsewhere. I might just wait to buy one once I'm out of school.

Oh wait is this like a school apartment with rules against it? Because that is a weird legal grey area. But if its a normal apartment with a lease that says you can't well that is likely, legally questionable. If you do have questions when you are ready to buy or just wanna chat guns, in general, I am always open for it. I am not an expert but am pretty savvy. Plus I love going to the range.... now if only ammo were not so dang expensive... guns, knives, lightsabers... why are my hobbies so expensive?!
