With all the bad things happening in the world today, it got me thinking as to how many people across the world have guns at home.
Especially you guys in America.

So.....what have you got....and why ?

I have no guns at home but I do have a box of shotgun shells for when I go trap shooting. Rental of a gun is only a dollar so I cant see buying one especially since I suck (I usually score 10-12 of 20) and don't go often enough to justify the cost. Skeet looks like a blast but since I cant do trap very well I doubt I'd fair too well at it. You also really need a semi auto as shit happens too fast to manually reload.

That said, if I had my choice, I'd have a 20 gauge over-under like the Beretta S687.

I get bruises on my shoulder from the 12 gauge but hitting anything with a 20 gauge is near impossible. A friend let me shoot his 20 ga. and I scored only 4 The 20 ga is so much lighter than a 12 and much easier to get on target. I'm such a novice that I'm sure I could get shot with a wider radius but I wouldn't know what to ask for at Walmart.

YEs I shoot like a girl but then I'm Canadian and this gun thing is new to me

About 30 years ago my dad bought a set of winchester 30/30 rifels, one hex barrel and the other round. The kicker is that they have matching serial numbers and there still sealed in the original case. Never have been opened. They were shipped from the factory and I wonder sometimes if there really there.

I bought a gun a few years ago when I turned 21. The reason was because I could... I have a trigger lock on it and it's tucked away. I haven't gone to the range with it in a few years though.

My GF often thinks I've got a gun in my pocket, but I'm just pleased to see her
