How many of you own a weapon/firearm?

[Marnie]

Ahhhh do you think we walk around with guns strapped to our waist or something.................

Actually, thats interesting. I have some friends that went to Texas and said about half the people they saw actually were carrying guns. Now I realize that Texas is not the US... how many people actually carry guns on them?

I have a Carry and Conceal, and I do! I carry mine wherever I go.

note to Marnie..............................but you don't walk around with it strapped to your waist, messes up the flow of your dress!

Yeah, I noticed that. I keep it in my handbag. I also have a Missy Kitty holster, but that's going a bit far, don't you think?

Two shots center mass with a .45 ?!!! Way to go Marnie, most ladies (and many men!) don't use that large a caliber. From one pro to another..

Only one question, was your husband in bed with you, and did you have to perform C.P.R on him after?

Theo: How's your hearing, ear's still ringing?

Good old Texas heh?

Its true, here in Texas you can get a licenses to carry a concealed weapon on you or in your vehicle. If you have a bad record on hand then you can't get one. I have the license although I don't carry a weapon on me all the time....but sometimes when traveling I might keep a pistol in the vehicle. You can't carry the weapon into federal buildings and schools and such.

Texas....yeah we're still living it up in the cowboy days.

Take it from this Yank that's transplanted here in S.C, plenty of "Good ol Boys" here are giving the Texan's a run for the money.

I carry a .357 revolver everywhere I go. (I let my permit expire last december, but you only need that in Georgia if you carry outside your home, car or business. There are several guns here at work.)

I have pulled my gun on someone twice since 2000. Both were mugging attempts - but as soon as they saw the gun, they simply could NOT run fast enough!

Sure, I carry a gun - I am NOT going to respond from a position of weakness when confronted with a threat against me.

"Your" is wrong, too. It was supposed to be "you're".

I was single than, actually. That Smith is an awesome weapon; kind of a take off of the Glock 9mm.

Note: As a former Cop I must advise anyone don't "shoot to wound". You'll most likely either get sued or put in jail. If you or a loved one is in immenint danger to serious bodliy injury or death.....shoot "center mass". If he's armed and you shoot him in the leg, your probably going to see Jesus a little early.

Marnie: Did you give that nightgown a chance to surrender before you shot?

No, but I did give it a proper burial, with full honors. It was a good dress and served me very well. It just got in the way.

I received my firearm training at Quantico, among other places, and "shoot to kill" is a good motto. And never point your weapon at anybody unless you intend to discharge it.

I have not problem with anybody owning an assault weapon, provided they have the training to use it. If the criminal element has access to them (albeit illegally) then honest citizens should, as well. Heck, I'd own a cannon if I could get my hands on one.

I can get you one, their around 4500 for the basic model!

Hey mike! If the pellet gun is easily capable of killing a human, then yes, I think it should fall under the same rules as normal weapons. The kind I was using however... well you'd have a better chance of killing someone by hitting them with it than shooting them with it. One of my shots rebounded and hit my leg and well... I hardly even noticed it. I'm quite confident that you could shoot it point blank at someone and end up with little more than a bruise. Although I'm not sure if it legal to even carry pellet guns in Canada.

A pellet gun can kill a person...if you get shot in the temple with it you'll be dead right quick.

I'm not 100% on our laws regarding pellet guns, but I'm fairly sure you don't need a licence for them, but you're not allowed to carry one around in public, nor buy it or the ammunition for it if your under 18.

That sounds about right. Although even if they were legal to carry I doubt anyone would. Carrying guns in public just isn't done in Canada. I suspect if I walked down the street with a pellet gun, someone would probably call the cops.

Uhmmm yeah i do sometimes , i used to have under the arm holsters

carried one in each, one in a belt holster on my back, and one in my boot.

Sold! Can I get it across the state line?? It should have a silencer, too. I wouldn't want to neighbors to get jealous of my firepower.
