Right now I have an XD 9mm Bi-Tone. Next is a Baby Eagle .40 then to a AR-15 rifle Bushmaster.
See my statemnt in the other thread about guns. I am into guns mainly for sportsmanship/Target shooting/Protection.
Ban old people from being behind the wheel of an automobile. There are more deaths from that then there are gun deaths in DC around here.

We have more guns than we need but not as many as I'd like to have.

Never needed to even aim a gun at person but it's nice to know I can, especially when you make room arrangements online and discover you are the only one that looks like I do when I get there. Last week woke up in a ghetto, alive.

I'm a big guy so intimidation has been my best defense but I also carried a Glock .40 in my truck and a .32 in my belly bag for years after the LA riots, I had a Vending route up there. Tried to run the route while the gangsta's were still asleep, sometimes I had to work with them in the room, yikes! Imagine pulling a few hundred bucks in quarters out of their favorite past time, you are on your knees doing your job while you knows who is staring at you from behind.

Now it's just normal, no emotion about it, car alarm going off outside the house, I'm out there protecting property, nothing personal...

peace out

It's fucking ridiculous that it's illegal in my country to own a handgun or shotgun etc. Bulletproof vest is also illegal! How the fuck could a person kill another with a bulletproof vest?

The biggest problem with this ban on guns is that gipsies, who don't care about any laws can get handguns and other deadly weapons easily from the blackmarket, and of course they use it when they break into other people's homes. The situation is worse in small villages, because our government closed the police stations in those kind of places, so literally there is no one to save you from the gipsies if they want to rob you, or break into your house. It's worse than the "wild west" was, because it's illegal for you to get any kind of gun that could save your life in those situations.

Btw I don't know about any other country where a home owner gets arrested because a gipsy breaks into his property. Long story short, the gipsy broke into the old guy's home, and the gipsy wanted to steal some fruits or sg like that, the old guy built an electric fence around the small area on his land where the fruits were, the gipsy died because of the electric fence, that was inside the property, and the police arrested the old man who wanted to save some of the fruits from thiefs.

There are many similar cases that show that police in my country can't protect people. Hence people with clean criminal record should have the right to own guns.

I do not have one, i would love one though... maybe i ll get one sometimes. Here in my country, guns are very rare.
