How Do You Approach Gun Ownership?

[Anonymous 6]

Greetings. I’m curious of how the members here approach gun ownership. I myself am a gun owner and would encourage every man who is able bodied and legally clear to own a firearm to own one, or more for those of you with the urge to start a collection.

I live in Texas so it goes without saying that I’ve grown up in a place were owning forearms is encouraged. Everything from hunters to the aficionado, I’ve met them. And seen some really cool pieces too. We have open carry here (with some restrictions) which is cool. So every once in a while I’ll see a dude with a holstered pistol walking around doing regular guy stuff like pumping gas or whatever. Just a normal day at the office here. We also have concealed carry. For those of you who don’t know that means that a person can get licensed to carry a pistol or a revolver in a concealed fashion. An interesting fact is that George Bush got license #1 (Literally that’s his license number) when he was governor. He actually signed the bill into law. So there you go. He lives here in Texas still so I’d bet money that he’s renewed his #1 status card there.

There is a bad ass range down the street from that has crap tons of stuff so I’ll keep you guys updated as to any and all classes that I’ll be taking there. Oh, and they have an archery range, that is badass.

What do you guys think of the subject?

Absolutely own a gun.
It’s your 2nd amendment right.
I encourage all men to legally obtain guns.

[Anonymous 7]

If you legally can, at the bare minimum you should own a scatter gun.

Lots of budget, reliable 12ga. pumps on the market.
Take out the duck plug, unless you are going duck hunting.

Guns Guns

You said Guns twice.

I like Guns.

[Sky-OParticipant 18936]

I have used guns (hunting) and have shot at gun ranges but have always used guns belonging to friends, my uncle and cousins at the time.

I have never owned a gun or actively possessed one.

Because if I did:

There have been at least three times in my life where I would have used it.

Twice to defend myself.

And once to take out a worthless piece of s~~~, sorry excuse for a human being. What would have occurred that time would have been considered murder by a prosecutor and I would be doing 30 years to life right now.

And the Sky-0 can’t live in a fckng concrete cell.

The very day that it’s made legal this side of the lake (or I just say f~~~ it and emigrate Stateside) I’ll be getting mine, it will be well maintained and practiced religiously (at the range) with the intent of never using it but the knowledge that if I ever have to I will be ready.

I can only imagine how happy the British will be when that happens!

“Pardon, me are you using this lane for shooting there chap?”
“No, have at it then bloke.”
“Right then, here goes.”

[HitmanParticipant]

BritGHOW..once the guns are taken they never give them back.
Emigrate if you can.

x = number of guns you currently have.

Number of guns you currently need = x+1.

I’m not gonna go toe to toe with some crack head who doesn’t belong in my living room at 3am.

Bang bang. Off to the next life for you my friend.

Own a gun !!!!!!

Peace is > piece.

With enthusiasm. Using them with even more.

[Anonymous 11]

Proper breathing, grip, and trigger control are my approaches.

I prefer a 12 gauge for home defense. The .30-06 is best left for the range.

One of the things that p~~~ed my dad off the most about the divorce (not the cause of the divorce) was he had to sell his guns.

It took him decades while raising 3 boys to recover from that.

I still remember the day back in the 70s when he brought home his very own new shotgun. It was the first he owned since the divorce. I don’t think I ever saw the old man so happy and proud of himself as that day.

The only reason he could ‘afford’ it is b/c the retailer f~~~ed up and list the wrong price for the shotgun. Retailer wasn’t happy. LOL!

Come on over.
Get a boom stick or dozen, buy a motorcycle.
Throw a leg over the bike and pick a direction.
You will not be dissapointed, well not while you are outside of city limits.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve approached gun ownership differently than I did in my 20s.

I used to be a gun “collector”, however that was not my intention. Just like girls, I wanted to have a go at each of them, so I would save up just enough and buy a new one whenever I could.

That ended me up with literally DOZENS of different firearms at a time, but with only a box or two of ammo to shoot at any given time. I got older and finally rethought my strategy:

I now sell any gun that has become a “safe queen” for over a year. It’s better to be AMMO rich, rather than gun rich. One AR15 and 10,000 rounds is much more valuable in a SHTF scenario than 10 AR15’s and 20 rounds of ammunition.

Once you all have found your personal favorite rifle, pistol and shotgun, stock up heavy on ammo before you go off and get more fun guns.

How much ammo do you need? MOOOAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!!

[Anonymous 6]

If you can count how many guns you have, YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH!!!!!

Get your concealed carry permit, learn all there is to learn. Take those classes that the NRA gives and get certified. One day I would like to take those classes and become a certified instructor so i can teach people how to handle and shoot properly.

Learn all you can. Even take the hunter education classes. Be smart and be vigilant.
Guns are fun when used correctly. What’s a better feeling than going to the range and firing off a few hundred rounds of your favorite pistol. Or sighting in your new rifle. Or shooting that big buck.

Love my guns. In Cuckistan, we don’t have a second amendment, but thankfully as a next door
neighbour to the States, and with a frontier culture, they haven’t managed to ban them outright yet.

Trudeau would need a change of panties if he saw my Rec room.

I fell into the same pattern too. I’m trying to break out of it and make sure I put money into ammo, holsters, etc now.

That said, the one upside of being “gun rich” is if the shtf, you can immediately assemble a militia for defence, if
you have family and friends you trust. That is a huge advantage.

The answer, is no.

“How do you approach gun ownership?”

Well, I usually just go up to the counter and say “I want that one.”

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

LOL! I’ve done that a couple of times.

I always wanted a cowboy gun (Colt Peace Maker).
I got a replica, same design flaws and all.
It’s purty… and the rounds are nasty looking things. Almost a half inch round of f~~~ you up forever.

I know the .45 long Colt is what it is. Still, it looks nasty.
