I don't. They don't fascinate me much. What country you live ? I live in Canada. We appear to have more strict gun laws than the Americans.
shareNo. I don't like them and I don't need one, and I've arranged my life to minimize any potential need for one.
shareI’m not pleased to see you; that is in fact, a pistol in my pocket, lol.
shareAustralia, and I'm not a farmer, so of course no.
shareNo I don't ( thank God..). Germany
shareNope.
I do have various self defence weapons on me though .... not entirely legal. Can't carry anything in the UK, not even pepper spray - but if someone is going to try and mug me or abduct me then I'm going to fight back regardless.
I’m in America and I own and enjoy a number of firearms. I currently own the following sporting/target arms:
•Marlin lever action .35
•Winchester lever action 30-30
•Remington pump action 30-06
•Semi auto scoped Marlin .22
•Savage Arms bolt action .22
•Mossberg 12 gauge pump
•Spencer 12 gauge double barrel
•Remington 12 gauge pump
…and a cheap Japanese knockoff of the famous Browning semi auto 12 gauge that has a rotted gas seal so it won’t cycle and is probably not worth the cost of repair.
I have an antique military foot locker in which I store about 2,500 rounds of a variety of ammunition.
Me and my pals sometimes hunt but more often we just enjoy punching paper. Target shooting is good fun but it is expensive!
Cheaper Than Dirt is a good site to find reasonably priced ammo, there are others as well.
I own no pistols as those require special licensing and background checks here in New York State which can take many months but I’ll eventually get around to it. I prefer revolvers, no jamming, better sighting and ease of use with a revolver…that’s just my opinion though. I’m sure a guy that’s expert level with his semi auto pistols could fairly call bullshit on my revolver preference but I find semi auto pistols too finicky.
My buddy down in Virginia wants to help me buy and trick out an AR type semi auto rifle but I currently have more important house stuff to spend 1400 bucks on lol!
Someday…
I keep a heavy gun safe (key/keypad lock) inside a fingerprint/combo locked closet.
The Ammunition is stored separately in a steel footlocker with a Masterlock.
Unless a guy is a complete ass or a drunken fool firearms can safely be kept and enjoyed year round. Follow the basic common sense rules, take a hunter’s safety course, lock up all the gear at the end of the day and there will be lots of shooting fun to be had.
Own a licensed gun and even used it one time during a terror attack.
shareI’d like to hear this story in more detail, that’s pretty wild!
shareIt was 7 year ago, at a central station in Israel, Arab terrorist killed a solider and start shooting everywhere. It was a complete mess, people running away, screaming, after a few seconds I saw the terrorist, a gunfight started, I wasn't the only one there but the only citizen (the others from what I remember were soldiers and Israel Border Police).
