I own several guns(well they are liscensed to my dad, I'm only 15...)and I own them for several key reasons. A)to hunt B)to shoot stuff for recreation C)To defend my household(i live in a BAD crack county) and D) To look like a badass...
depends, if its a pistol, it might scare the burglar away, or they can call your bluff, now if its a shot gun, all you need to do is rack it and the burglar(s) will take off like a bat out of hell. Nice little trick my buddies in the police academy told meclicketycrack said:I own a gun for protection but I don't even have any ammuntion for it. Don't make much sense does it?
Actually its a crappy little babies first hunting rifle. Maybe I should try that shotgun trick though.hungoverbear said:depends, if its a pistol, it might scare the burglar away, or they can call your bluff, now if its a shot gun, all you need to do is rack it and the burglar(s) will take off like a bat out of hell.

I disagree. I have never needed my fire extinguisher, but I don't regret having it. I once needed a firearm, and I regret not having it.PurpleRain said:A bit over the top. He said 'walk into your house or yard.' I mean, he could be mentally deranged, not dangerous. Not everyone is out to get you. I've never had a problem with anyone threatening me, nor anyone I have ever known. I see no point in owning a gun. It seems odd to me. The reason for self defence would be the same for swimming in chainmail and a harpoon gun due to sharks in the water, or carrying a case of antidotes because of poisonous snakes and spiders.Darkside360 said:Sorry but no its NOT illegal. Self defense. If they are running away off your property and you shoot them yes you can get in trouble. You CAN use deadly force if someone breaks into your house. By doing that they are already threatening you.rainman2203 said:Shooting someone who walks into your house or yard is illegal, even in Texas).
So it's "wasteful" for me to hunt an animal that naturally reproduces even if I'm doing so in a sustainable and responsible manner? Come live in Northern Canada for a while and see what happens to the bear population when they cancel one of the hunts...cyber_andyy said:So is hunting when theres plenty of food avalible. I ve seen how they are brought up.Didn't affect me one tinney bit. It still tastes Oh so goodranc0re said:No, I do not hunt simply to mount a nice buck's head on my wall, that's stupid and wasteful.
Could scare someone with it?clicketycrack said:I own a gun for protection but I don't even have any ammuntion for it. Don't make much sense does it?
