How many members on this board..

Actually own firearms, or have firearms in their home? I'd post a poll but I don't have the spare cash to be a donor. Just wondering what kind of audience we have here.

Just say yes or no, no attacking others for their choice. If you want list what you own and/or a family pic.

I've held a gun, but never fired one.

On edit: I have lost two beloved ones to guns. So, my feelings about them are not good.

but haven't fired any of them in many, many years.

And while I don't remember a exact number it was a pretty good percentage. I haave been collecting for years, have a C&R lic and have a sizeable collection.

:scared:

:shrug:

The ones the government knows I have, and the ones they don't. They are stored separately and securely.

:thumbsup:

and have been considering reacquiring one in case the shit hits the fan.

a 30-06 rifle, .22 rifle, .22 revolver, 45 ca. black powder revolver and a .40 cal. semi auto. pistol.

And planing on expanding.

No.4 Mk1 Enfield
Ruger 10/22
S&W Model 15
Bulgarian SSR-85C2 (which is for sale if anyone is interested, PM me)

Planing on at least 5 more in the near future. Not because of any "impending bans" but because I've been eyeing them for a while.

I had many growing up. They were as common as owning a bike where I lived. I had too many friends killed by them. I won't have one in a home as long as I have children, and probably not afterwards, either.

nick name is comrade.

Any questions?

Are you over exaggerating? (JMHO) but I don't think it's a good thing to be called comrade =P

how many guns were necessary to do it?


(just clowning with you, comrade, and nice to see you)

A drop block Remington .22.

My mom got it for me for Christmas when I was twelve.

When he passed, I gave them to his brother. Our son was only 10 and even though the guns had trigger locks, I didn't want him to have the temptation.

many and will not list

edit: for my non spelling ass

I have no interest or use in owning one; husband feels the same way. We aren't hunters & the police are just a call away.

If you believe the polls that have been run at other times.

Rifles, pistols, shotguns.

I own guns.

.45 1911A1 Officers Compact

Mossberg 500, pistol grip

.22 Remington rifle w/scope

I have a Springfield Tactical XD 40 and really like it.

When I went to buy my first handgun at 21 years old, I knew I wanted more than a 9mm Glock like everyone else I knew had. I toyed with a 9mm with a .380 backup, but I loved the feel of the Compact. The fully loaded weight just felt perfect. Plus, in a holster, it's not so heavy that it ruins the cut of a jacket nor drags your pants down.

The capacity is a bit on the short side, being a 6+1. I do have an undisclosed number of clips, and I figure an in-home situation wouldn't be a reload issue with this gun. Besides, again, I do have that Mossberg.

My friends still give me a bit of heat about it. My retort is that with 7 Black Talons before a reload, I only need to "barely" hit a crim once, whereas they'd better double-tap a vital organ.

That Springfield of yours is a good, quality, reliable weapon. Nice choice.

Never quite liked the "feel" of it. The Springfield had a really good feel, quite accurate, as well. It also has a tactical kit. I also have a Smith and Wesson SW9VE 9mm, but I'm not too thrilled with that. I've had my sights set on a Beretta for some time now.

I've tried .45's but there's too much recoil for me, I'm rather petite.

Ever try out a Desert Eagle .50AE? :wow:

On edit to add: I don't have to worry either..."undisclosed number of clips." In home invasion? Not a worry.

That was the newest touted gun when I was building my meager collection. My father in law was enamored with it. All he could talk about was how a .50 would exit a body. Too much for me.

I've never been a fan of Glock either. Too back-heavy in the hand for me from my experience. If I really wanted a high capacity firearm for in the field use, I'd probably spend the cash for a Sig.

Any ideas of something compact that wouldn't be so bulky, yet easier to handle for me? The XD 40 is a bit bulky for my small size for CC purposes. I usually try out all of the guns they have at the firing range when I go, but can't decide which would be best.

Perfect concealed carry weapon. I don't think they make them anymore, though. There's got to be a recent equivalent though.

To be honest, your question would make a great OP.

I'll go visit them soon. Non-firing antiques.

I have a few.

I've always owned guns--literally since I was about 10. Right now I have a couple of shotguns, a .22 revolver, a .357 magnum, a couple .22 rifles, and a deer rifle.

Handguns, Assault weapons and shotguns.

I own a fair number. Some old, some new, some long, some not :)

Soon, one Mossberg 12-gauge.

A S&W 35 sp double action revolver (for self/home-defense which I hope I will never have to use but am prepared to if necessary) and a remington 30-06 semi auto w/ scope for hunting (which I haven't done in years.)

Used to like target practice and still would but for two things, too many new houses too close and a dog who's terrified of thunder, fireworks, and gunfire... so there ya go. The guns sit unused.

usually used for camping, cheap entertainment, plinking

own any. There may be one in the home I live in but I am not sure as grandson was told to get rid of it - may not have a good history.

does that count? I am sorry to say that I bagged a ton of sparrows with that thing. Otherwise, no guns.

and ammo for all.

...each day that your residence is unoccupied. :eyes:

and Im trying to pick up two more over the summer.

I have a Ruger .22, a Glock 19, a family heirloom Smith Model 10, and a Remington 20GA.

Hoping to pick up a used Bersa .380 and a new H&R 20GA single shot.

My guns:







My wife's:

:hi:

having shed blood for someone else's freedoms, I am disinclined to give up my freedoms at home.

notxt.

It's a joy to shoot. But a rather expensive plinker.

It's not a defensive gun (for me) in any way. Honestly the bullet is too light for consistant deep penetration, IMHO.

But it's 100% reliable, crazy accurate, and loud! Just a fun, unique gun to have in my small, but growing collection.

Bigger than mine by far, you have the pistol I want too(The CZ-75 SP-01)

Every handgun I purchase from this point forward will most likely be a CZ.I wouldn't mind owning every handgun they've ever made!

They are Accurate, comfortable, well priced and reliable.

I just wish the 19 round magazines were a bit cheaper.
