Pretty self-explanatory, I'd say, but limit it to weapons that you personally own, not some other member of your household. 

And Canadian, you count as ROTW for this poll.

At least one self-loathing one around here doesn't.

Hint: it's not CC. Or BB.

I don't know.  I found one today.  I don't think anyone has claimed it.  If it is my Great grandfathers then I suppose I'm due to inherit it.  If it belonged to my dad's side of the family( who often had guns but used them for less altruistic reasons), then I guess it's his.  I don't know much about guns so I didn't mess with it.  Just looked it over.  I didn't even check to if it was loaded (I was afraid I might screw something up with it).  I don't even know when the gun was made.  The leather holster was patented in 1928 in St. Louis, but beyond that I don't know.  All I know is that it's a Colt, it's double action, and fires a .38.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No camera. There are lots of pictures of guns that look kinda like it on the net, but I don't know enough to tell the difference between them.  EDIT: Also I don't think my dad would like to know I found it.  Considering he sometimes worries I might hurt myself.  I'm not even sure he knows we have it.  My mom told me she found an old pistol of my Grandfathers and took it to a friend of hers who cleaned it up and fired it.  He accidentally killed himself a few years later and I was under the impression that the weapon was still in his possession and that my mom never got it back.  That was about 15 years ago or so.   I suspect that this is the same weapon.

I don't own a gun.  Why would I want to put myself at an immediate disadvantage?

You could have shot that mugger.

I doubt it, the mugger didn't disadvantage himself with a gun either.

Nope.  Closest I come is an UHC Tactical-9 Airsoft rifle that's currently collecting dust in a closet somewhere.
Experience bij!

Considering getting one with DEC 2012 coming up.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I don't own a gun, and I don't need one, because I'm content with my penis size.

I have fired P1, MG-3, G-3 and FH-155mm. The cleaning afterwards sucked, making shooting not worthwhile.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
