How many of you don't have firearms?

[Supafly]

This pool is inspired by all the over-the-top *** threads of him who shall not be named as he renamed himself so often

I have never possessed a firearm, and I think I never will. I don't want to judge people about this issue, I am more curious how many people have or have not gotten themselves a ***, rifle, or whatever

Feel free to discuss

Bow and arrow > Firearm.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

I can get one this week if I want to, just by making a call. There are so many dirty guns on the street in the inner city all you pussies have no idea.

I inherited my grandfathers's S&W .22 ********. However, it's with my parents since it's not allowed here in the NL.

 

[who???]

Growing up in Florida near a lot of swampy areas, you better have a *** handy for alligators, and a shotgun for snakes.

Also, where I grew up was way out in the country, and there were a lot of nasty incidents of racism.

Being of mixed decent, my ****** didn't want to take chances. Especially in a county where there usually wasn't a cop of any kind on duty, but only on call.

Also, I inherited a .44 Magnum from an uncle when he died.

So yes, I have several guns.

I've never shot a ***, and I don't own one, but I have shot bow and arrow. That appeals to me more than shooting a ***. I'm not really sure why.

I don't think I'll ever need to get a firearm. Don't get yourself mixed up with the wrong people, don't start stupid **** on the streets, don't say stupid things that you know could possibly start fights. Keep your head up but keep it down, if a stranger or a group of strangers that look a little shady try talking to you just keep walking. Seriously, if you're smart and you know how to stay out of trouble, there won't be any need for a ***. Unless you're a hunter or a police officer or a detective or whatever other profession implies that you carry a ***.

But I don't have problems with people who do have guns. Own a *** if you want, that's fine. Just don't shoot it at me.

I have 14 extra if anybody needs to borrow.

I have fired a couple of shots, but out of a air rifle. I was pretty good at it, and I would have no problems, I think about firing at an intruder, if someone entered my appartment in a clearly aggressive manner, or to defend myself if I was out in the woods and there was some predator ******.

I still think, in general, guns cause more trouble than they can assist in solving

Sorry Supa, but I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on this one.

Where I lived, there WOULD have been problems. But everyone knew we had guns and knew how to use them too. As it was, we never had a problem in the 20+ years I lived there.
20+ years is a lot of problem solving in my book.

You know Bobbie we have lots of guns "Christa an Aspen"

I'm seriously not trying to start a debate, but your point only looks good on paper. Several months ago there was that ****** that was everything you describe above. House broken into, *** beaten, m-m *****, **** ******.

A ***, a couple of guns, m-m and one or both **** having some familiarity with them could have prevented an atrocity.

I don't have one....yet.

Because it takes more skill than shooting a firearm?

 

[Vanilla Bear]

Me no have [NOBABE]bang bang[/NOBABE].

 

[StanScratch]

I don't have one and have absolutely no interest in getting one.

 

[xfire]

I've got a few, and I like to shoot. I've got a lot of reasons for having them and have never considered getting rid of them.

 

[Sam Fisher]

I like guns. I have lots of 'em. Oh, and thousands upon thousands of ammunition too.

 

[BigSwede]

I don't need one since I don't hunt.
I shot plenty in the army.
