Anyone NOT own a handgun?

Our government is talking 5 years for having one.

Nope. Don't own one.

Peace.

Don't own a gun. Had my fill of them while wearing the "pickle suit" for 10 years.
I don't have anything against anyone who wants to own/carry one as long as they don't use it as a first strike measure. Just about anything can be used as a weapon to kill. Watch an episode of The Walking Dead.

I wasn't aware we had to own just one. Now for the burning question. How many are purveyors of the one shot one kill discipline?

[Deer Slayer]

yes

[tinknocker]

I own a pistol for self defense I hope I never use it but am I prepared to face the consciences of protecting myself and my family ABSOLUTELY! For anyone who think it'll never happen let me ask you this...how safe would you feel right now in a little town you might have heard of called Ferguson Missouri?

[Denase]

Don't have one, don't want one. I do support the right to own one though.

[bigbird]

don't want one

What's your reason for that?

That's why I practice Army. I believe in the 45ACP. A few big ones instead of a lot of small ones. Bullet technology has changed a lot of that . I still like a 45.

I bought a Taurus .38 Special after the L.A. Riots because I wanted something that I could carry on me if society went to shat. I should have just waited a few days to get over the fear; I've never been glad that I bought it. Last year I turned the ammo in to the local P.D. because it was old and I haven't fired any rounds for almost 20 years. The gun is unloaded and stored away up in my closet. I wouldn't even consider carrying out in public unless I satisfied myself that I had ample training to carry and use it, and then I'd be paranoid that I would end up injuring someone unintentionally or just plain losing it somewhere.

I'm not afraid of guns per se, I've done plenty of shooting, I just seriously question the utility of private gun ownership. Not whether or not it should be *legal*, just whether or not it's *smart* for most people.
