Anyone here packing heat????

you pull that gun out, more than likely, you will be disarmed...and shot

Guns SUCK!And most chances are you wont need to use it.Also if you have a kid in the house then be worried.Very very worried.And dont expect that in case of need you ll have the gun next to you to protect you.Unless you carry it wherever you go.And what are you planning to do?Kill someone for protection?Use it on a thief?
And dont expect that you can just take the gun and shoot.Its not like movies

I think all guns should be illegal all over the world and we need to go back to fighting with swords and bows and arrows.

I used to have about 7-8 guns, but I sold them all except for my AK...I keep it at work in case someone gets frisky and tries to blow through the bulletproof lucite...

I have a 12 gauge - sits in my closet doing absolutely nothing - the shells are in a safe.  

I remember at my old house my neighbor and I thought someone was lurking around in the woods behind where we lived.  So I got the gun and went out on my deck and just racked the thing (no shells) and I heard someone take off running.  Then again if I heard someone rack a shotgun I wouldn\'t stick around either.

I would take all the neccessary trainning courses needed.   And it would make me feel safe.

you want a good reason? owning a gun raises the chance of getting killed by one with 300% (!)

the feeling of being safer with a gun is an illusion. By owning a gun an attacker/burglar or whatever is much more likely to attack you for it because he himself will feel threatened.

it also just add to the mainstream paranoïa.

and if you need a gun to feel safer, dude just move somewhere else.

can you tell me what a ccw is?

carry a concealed weapon - permit

Here in az this permit is listed in the Poilce DB in such a way that it is in the same area as warrants and such i have had a friend that was pulled over for a traffic violation and such a hassel and even put into cuffs befire the officers really relized that it was a ccw permit and not a warrant.

I\'m going to apply for a ccw as soon as I move into my house (Erie county).  In the state of NY, excluding NYC, you must have a ccw in order to own a handgun.  I love target shooting and plan to shoot competitively.  I had to sell my handguns when I moved from Kansas to NY.  And yes, I will likely carry concealed, although that\'s not my main objective in owning a handgun.  I realize that it\'s highly unlikely that I\'ll ever need to use it.  I realize that if I do, I\'ll be in a world of paperwork, courts, and lawyers.  But I\'m not naive enough to think that "it\'ll never happen to me."  I have zero problem with law-abiding citizens owning firearms.  I feel more endangered out on a highway where any freaking idiot can drive a 2000-6500 pound battering ram upwards of 100mph.

I\'m all for guns. I\'m planning on getting a 12 guage and a rifle for hunting and sport (skeet shoosting). I would never carry a concealed weapon unless I was a cop or whatever. I don\'t see the point. It would likely get me shot instead of me shooting in self defense.

Hey Q don\'t you know they don\'t give black men CCW\'s?  Especially angry ones.
