who here is a gun owner?

[b.c.]

Me?? Guns?? Heaven forbid.

 

[424365]

I own dozens of guns.

I wish I had you're resources to attain so many.

 

[FullKilt]

I own dozens of guns.

Remington -- please tell me you have them cataloged, photographed (individually), and insured. That's a lot of money wrapped up in steel.

Makes me wonder if he's a preper as well.

On a similar note who has noticed the scarcity of ammo and found they need to pre-order?

Wonder if this move to stock-piling food and supplies might be behind it.

You will, one day. Just keep collecting.

Smart man, and yes. They are all insured.

In the US, ammo is not only getting scarce, but with certain individuals causing what I call "Obama scares," the price of ammo and guns skyrocket from time to time.

Kind of annoying when a gun that used to cost 300 bucks and ammo at 20 cents per round, has now doubled in price because some fear monger says that Obama or the ATF is going to snatch everything away, even when they have no proof. Even more annoying is it seems to happen once a fucking year.

Now, whenever something goes on sale, I just buy in bulk. In the long run it saves money, and you'll never know when they might have whatever ammo/gun you're looking for back in stock.

And yes, you can call me a Prepper.

Hey Pieter, Love ya :wink:, and can understand if you don't want one, but those are pretty strong and judgemental statements. :frown1:

It can be the only defense I have to defend my animals from varmits that insist on coming through my property fence, tearing through the enclosures and killing my animals. I've only had to resort to bringing it out of the closet a couple of times over the past couple of years.

You might try adopting (in Utah and Idaho folks who have them are almost giving them away) a couple of llamas. I have two on my ranch in north east Nevada and even gray wolves are known to run and hide from llamas. Coyotes stay far, far away. The llamas tend to stay close where we do keep animals (chickens, several turkeys, pheasants, one Rambolet sheep, and a few goats) the weasels and desert fox that used to sniff around and cause trouble now leave everything alone. The only thing I can think of I might need a gun for would be to shoot hunters trespassing on my property, which is clearly posted "NO HUNTING" with every 3rd fence post painted screaming safety orange. But then, I'd just shoot hunters in the leg or shoulder intent upon crippling them even though in Nevada it is 100% legal to shoot and kill trespassers in self defense, whether they are armed or not.:smile:

You dont suppose its because theres a war on and all those soldier boys keep shooting it? (on both sides, that is)

I own dozens of guns.

Do you keep a squad to use them, or is this another case of mars attacks multi armed aliens? (but hey, I understand collecting)

I guess its easier to shoot people if you dehumanise them...

The real question is why humans deserve better treatment than animals simply because they are human.

You might try adopting a couple of llamas.

But do they bring back their kills for the table?

1) No, military actions don't effect civilian prices on ammo. Two different ballgames.

2) I care more about zombies, than I do aliens.

If you have to know, I'm a firearms instructor & armorer whenever I'm not working my "real" job. Need different guns for different classes, along with testing out different set-ups, platforms, etc. Also, in rare cases, if I have a student that doesn't have the required gun for the class, or their gun keeps malfunctioning, I can loan them one of mine.

And above all else, I just like guns. If someone has a problem with it, that's their issue, not mine.

 

[Enid]

did not read through thread before responding, not my usual thing but decided to respond anyway.

i don't own a gun, but i have shot my father's walther ppk before. good to know how to handle a gun i figure, in case i ever decide to keep one in the residence for safety measures.

 

[Hand_Solo]

Or in case of zombie apocalypse or robot holocaust...

market forces. Ive heard lots of talk of ammunition shortages in the UK military. Doesnt necessarily matter if its a different kind of ammo, massive requirements for one thing can disrupt supplies, also sudden huge orders.

no i dont have to know. I am neither planning a raid nor responsible for licencing. Crossed my mind it was professional.

guns dont kill people, people do. Likewise cars, though cars are in most cases more useful. But not always.

Hmm. sometimes I think people should do compulsory real world hunting so they get the idea what life and death is really about.

 

[B_Marius567]
