Title: Do you own a firearm?
Post by: dps on September 06, 2011, 09:30:37 PM
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.

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.

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, 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.

Get yourself a Soviet-made Nagant pistol like what Ed & I have.  I think you can still get one in great condition for less than $100 and as a bonus for you, you get the Soviet markings on it.  Only downside is the ammo.  Actual 7.62x38 Nagant ammo is expensive, though it does work with much cheaper .32 S&W Long and probably some others.

Altruism is the "practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others."  If you use a gun in a way that benefits others without benefitting one's self, one is using the gun for altruistic reasons.

Altruism is often a bit of a difficult concept for non-western people, so don't feel bad that you don't get it.

Yeah, I got guns.  One 22 caliber, and 303, IIRC.  The 303 was sold to my godfather by a veteran of WWII and he gave it to me for my 18th birthday.

None of these guns are working, actually, and I never shot with these, only with father's and grandfather's firearms, wich sadly, where confiscated by the cops after my uncle's attempted suicide.

keeping it loaded and in arms reach requires the permit

Until March of this year, you could keep a firearm in your car in Kentucky without a CDWL, but it had to be in the glove compartment or the trunk.  If you had a CDWL, you could keep a gun anywhere in your car.  As of March, they changed that law and you can now keep a gun concealed anywhere in your car without a CDWL.

Also, suppressors are legal in Kentucky but you still gotta pay that huge licensing fee to the federal govt, and they run a background check on you if you apply for a permit.

Yep, that's my impression as well, but iirc Canadians are highly urbanised rather like Australians. I'd guess Americans are less so.


edit:
according to wiki:
United Kingdom - 90 %  ( I already knew we were highly urbanised )
Australia            - 89 %
United States    - 82 %
Canada             - 80 %

so I was wrong but as whole us languishites come from fairly urbanized countries.

:hmm: Isn't Canada still almost entirely wilderness, geographically-speaking?  Maybe it's that cc is the first generation of his family to live in urban Vancouver?

The city vs rural divide is a much bigger factor in gun ownership than most other things, I think.

Carry them as souvenirs that you give to your kids, just like an old sword gets passed down to people who don't need it to fight.
I wish my ancestors had transmitted an old French musket down the generations :(

Sometimes, you just need to brush your suit coat back or the blazer back and let them see the holster. That lets people know you are getting tired of their bullshit.

Here in the US, I only own one.
Back in Juddenland I got quite a few.
But then, I work with guns everyday, and I shoot free bullets.

Actually the more guns you own, the larger your penis grows.

I once had a 13" penis.

Now that I have 5,000 guns, I have a 15" penis.

Don't own a gun.  I've fired a variety of guns, ever since I visited my friend's lunatic uncle in N.H. who had us 90-pound 13-year-olds firing a Desert Eagle for laughs, and I see the appeal of having one of one's own. 

When I was in Knoxville, I went out on my lonesome and rented a .357 revolver at a local range.  I got distracted watching it explode in the chamber.   :blush:  But shit, shooting at the range was like bowling for 7 times the price.  Not cheap  A few boxes of .38 ammo and maybe 40 minutes of fun, for like 65 bucks.   :glare:

My dad somehow became obsessed with shooting in the last 8 years or so, shooting shotguns and rifles at a mainly Portuguese gun club.  His best friend there is an 85 year old unrepentant Italian fascist who was in POW camp in Texas.  Now he's trying to get a pistol and a concealed-carry permit, in Connecticut of all places.   :unsure:   Decades of living in sketchy areas, years of homicidal tension with the neighbors, and suddenly in his silver years he feels the need to pack heat?

no fear really; just prudence

I have had several credible death threats and have had to deny many unstable people occupational licenses...I also occasionally boat in areas where there's piracy

Id rather have a firearm handy and never need it, then need one and have none available
