Do you own a firearm?

[1Referee]

Nope, glad I don't need it here where I live.

[cech4204a]

No, since it's illegal to hold it just like that in my country. If i had a chance to hold it i wouldn't hold it anyways, at least not for ''safety'' , i'd maybe have it for shooting range, since i like shooting in general.

No, I cant own one legally in my country, Would I want to own one? I would like to think not, But I cant (and no one really knows) how they would feel raised in a different environment/culture.

I like ballistics, So when older, I would probably put this on my house:-

Too bad we can't rep each other on this forum.  +1 for the Mary Poppins pic!  Made my day!

Some places you can get away with having AA guns on your front lawn, in California you get shot by cops for holding a garden hose nozzle that looks like a gun.

No. I don't own a firearm, unless, if you count a airgun as one. That being said, I own a Gamo Hornet .177 Cal, which can get up to 1,000 (LEAD) or 1,200 FPS (PBA). So really, it can defend me as much as a actual firearm can. I also don't have anyone currently living with me that could possibly use it. And to be honest, I'd rather not own a 'actual' gun.

Well, I'm not really sure if my dog has grown thumbs yet.

[jump4ever]

no don't feel the need to own one

[Lethn]

You haven't been shot in the crotch by a paintball gun have you Lurai? It REALLY hurts and I'm speaking from experience, so imagine getting an airsoft gun to the crotch if that's what he's talking about.

an airgain defending you?

I don't know about yours, but my neighbour shot his brother with an airgun in the back

it's nothing special

yeah, you can kill little birds and stuff, but it's not going to be of any help against an intruder

If you didn't know, 750 FPS or even lower can kill small game. More than 950 FPS can take down a lightweight human, and, some big game. 1,000-1,200 FPS... Well, just imagine.

I think you need to Google things, before making such odd assumptions. The only difference is that instead of a .22, a .177 Cal will be pointed at you. And at close range, the accuracy will be nearly perfect. Long range might be a bit of a issue, but that's irrelevant.

Well it's like with any weapon, in the right hands anything can be deadly, I won't go into details just to show I'm on the side of ordinary people but if you know your pressure points and how the nervous system works there's a shit ton you can do with just a scarf or a BB Gun, people experienced in martial arts will probably know what I'm talking about and can back me up on this.

Yes granted, going up against a gun in any situation is stupid, still doesn't mean you won't have a chance, particularly if the assailant is only armed with a knife or something.

Funny you mention having an AA gun in the front yard.

Up around Leavenworth, Kansas, there is a guy who has just that!

He's got an old de-milled Pom-Pom from WWII, mount and all set up in a garden display in his front yard.

Next time I go up there I'll get pix.

Funnier than shit and a real traffic stopper!

[KIRAZ]

yup a classic old 870 shotgun. ▄︻̷̿┻̿═━一

[Hazir]

I am from EU, here we got really bad gun law. No one have any firearms beside airguns.

[jaberwock]

I think the question that apply to my place is Is your firearm has license or not. Because all the people in my place has guns. The guns are very cheap, big gun factories and small factories are just nearby. Many people in my neighborhood even make guns on their backyard.

No "licence" is required in Kansas.

[allsopfree]

no, i don't want to

[LostDutchman]

no, i don't want to

Each to his own!

[fatguyyyyy]

no, but I should. esp with all the crazies these days, i rather be prepared so i think this will be my next investment lol.

[chshabbir]

No!!

[LostDutchman]

No!!

What are you afraid of?

[nicked]

No, but I would like to get a cheap .22 rifle for simple target shooting someday. I've got two daughters under 5 years old, so I don't feel too comfortable having a gun around just yet. Maybe when they're older and I can teach them proper gun safety.
