Do You Own a Gun?
With all the firearms debate sparked by the Virginia Tech shooting, I was curious how many of us own a gun.

I don't own a gun. It doesn't have anything to do with being anti-gun. Until two years ago, I still had kids at home and didn't like the idea of having one under those circumstances.

I do, however, keep a penis with me at all times (oh, sorry, that was a dream I had.)

I own a crossbow. I don't think that counts as a gun.

I own several handguns (including a .22 and a 9mm), a .22 caliber rifle, an M1 carbine, and a Crosman air rifle. I rarely tell anyone that I have these because they are the only items that I own that are worth stealing*.
Just having these at home makes me more law-abiding, because I'm paranoid that if I get in trouble for anything someone will find a way to take away my guns. And yes, I know that that's not logical. *Of course, I trust all the people who might read this on the internet, or I wouldn't post this. |

No I don't. Probably most of my neighbors do, and I don't mind that most people assume that I do.

I should probably get rid of some of them, there are a few that were just collectors and I got because they were available and going cheap at the time. I only shoot 4 or 5 with any regularity.

No guns, just my trusty left hook and a butcher knife.
