Funny, funny, sweet.

have you ever shot a gun?

shot 22's when i was in the boyscouts. long rifles.shot 22's when i was in the boyscouts. long rifles.

Me me me

And I love it.

Professionally.

I used to have a Colt Anaconda and a Cobra. One was a 357 and one was a 44 magnum. Lots of fun to target shoot but I got rid of them when kids moved into my life. I do think if criminals think you might be packing heat they are less likely to do crimes to you. Of course - if local regulations prohibit gun possession , you could always keep a samurai sword handy.

I don't own a gun, and at my wife's request I won't, but I have shot many guns, and it's fun. And I do keep a katana next to my bed. It doesn't make as much noise, and there's no danger of me hurting anyone in the next room should I miss.

I earned a "sharpshooter" certification from the NRA with a .22 when I was a kid. I've shot revolvers, Glocks and various rifles and shotguns over the years. My favorite is the 30.06, which is pretty easy to handle and still packs a serious wallop.

I briefly owned a .38 special for protection on the road, but sold it the night after the truck I was sleeping in got burglarized, and I had to contemplate actually shooting someone.

Leon, I honor your decision, but I'd rather they got shot than die myself, just sayin'...

Rick, it will if you get one that's sharp enough....

Thanks for reminding me to give my father my husband's shotgun tonight. Ooh, that kinda sounds dirty, doesn't it?

Guns are right only in the videogames ;)
