How many Crappers own Firearms?

[i.Sarita.com]

I'm not a huge gun nut or anything, but being in the Infantry, I have a soft spot in my heart for a nice firearm.

I just bought myself a AMD65 variant of the AK47. I've always wanted an AK ever since Iraq, and finally was able to afford one.

Who else owns guns? And whatcha got?

[Soultastic]

Damn, I thought this thread was about how to stop my arms from catching on fire

[bibboid]

Do not have.
I do know how to shoot and I have fired a variety of weapons.
I just don't see a need to own one.

[default]

I have a .22 rifle and a 20 gauge shotgun, although both are still registered in my dad's name from when I used to go hunting before I moved. He has a ton of different guns, most for hunting, although he does have some semi-automatic pistols for defense/shooting. He's told me for years whenever I get a concealed weapons permit he'll sell me his .380 for $100, as I've apparently shot it quite a bit more than he has.

The coolest he has is this little .45/.410 double barrel pistol. It shoots the Colt .45 ammo without a ton of accuracy (you couldn't mount a scope on it or anything) but it's basically a mini-sawed off shotgun which makes it technically legal in PA due to the ban on sawed offs and the fact that it shoots the Colt .45s.

I may start hunting again some as I'm moving again and my great aunt has quite a few acres nearby and lots of squirrel.

I'm Canadian. I'm not even 100% sure we have guns up here.

My dad has a shotgun in house but, that is it. I need to get a gun soon (hoping for a Glock 17 or Beretta 92FS). I was recommended a Sig but, the don't feel right in hand.

[Yami Daimao]

None, but I plan on owning a Desert Eagle in the near future. I love that gun.

I've got a twelve gage that I shoot every now and then but it mostly collects dust since I haven't been deer hunting in over three years. Got a thirty ought six that I take out and shoot about every month, I love target shooting with rifles. And last but not least I have a 44 mag. I've always preferred revolvers to guns with clip, and if your getting a revolver you may as well get Dirty Harry's gun. I usually target shoot with the 44 once or twice a month.

Do you have any previous experience owning a gun or are you just buying it for the novelty factor? Because if you are just buying it because its a cool gun then I suggest that you buy a smaller handgun first like a 9mm. It doesn't matter how big a guy you are if you don't have much experience you don't want to go out and buy a gun like that right off the bat.

We do. My dad loves and owns many guns. I work for a hunter creating a TV show for him so I obviously have to work with footage with animals being killed by his guns.

[jagilki]

I hunt, so yeah.

Well no not yet, that's why I'm going to "train" at the shooting range first and whenever I feel ready, I'll purchase the Desert Eagle.

Knowing how to shoot and handle the gun safely is the most important part, but I would also suggest owning a smaller cheaper gun first so that you can get some practice with general up keep. Its easier to use a smaller cheaper gun when your are first learning how to take a gun apart, clean it, and keep it pristine. You don't want the first gun you take apart and clean to be an expensive masterpiece.

For those who don't have, here's a ticket to the gun show.

Fun fact: West Edmonton Mall had more submarines then the Canadian Navy for many years. After it became news all across the world, the Canadian govt. finally bought more boats.

I own a blow gun. Okay it's really just a plastic tube, but you could put things in it and blow them out of it.
