Poll: Poll: Have you ever shot a gun? (Also note which country you live in)

[vento 231]

Ya, I've shot a hunting rifle, for hunting of course and there is a magnum in my house for protection. I live in America: fuck yea!

 

[Codor]

American and yes a lot of different guns and more shots than I care to remember.

 

[Catalyst6]

A .22 rifle, while I was in the Scouts and a bit outside of it, but not really.

 

[khain13]

I live in the US and my dad was in the Army while I was growing up. I got to fire an M16 and M60 at a company picnic. I also got to drive an end loader and a bulldozer. Being 12 at the time, I thought it was awesome!

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Yes. I have fired a rifle. No big deal, just a small calibur target rifle. Might as well have been an airsoft rifle.

I live in the United States.

 

[Eggsnham]

I'm in the States and have fired a handgun before. It's nice, kind of a momentary power-trip.

 

[latenightapplepie]

I've never fired anything more powerful than those carnival shooting gallery rifles and I don't feel like doing so.

Guns in videogames are enough for me.

 

[bubba145]

yes USA and it was a target rifle.

 

[JWAN]

United States
Yes Ive shot rifles and shotguns, yes I own multiple firearms.

I live in the US and I own a Mossberg 500 12-gauge shotgun. I've only been able to take it to the shooting range twice because the range time and ammo is so expensive. Once I find a cheap and safe place to fire it, I'll probably take it out a lot more often.

If I had the money I would also love to get a Springfield XDm 9mm.

If your going to get a Springfield XD get it in 40S&W, its just a superior cartridge.

 

[sh0tgunenclave]

hit the range every other weekend

Glock 32, 23, 26, 19, 17, 22

Bersa .380 thunder
An ungodly amount of AR15s and their knockoffs including 9mm and a .308

Springfield xd9-xd40 sub compact and compact
Marlin lever action 30-30
Mossberg 500 in various forms

IDR much of anything else. Many oddball pistols and such with the church youthgroup, and a few guns from the libertarian group shoot

Sadly only one of the guns is actually 100% mine and thats the glock 32 I use for concealed carry.

Spoiler: we have fun

 

[RatRace123]

I never shot a real gun, I'm guessing Nerf doesn't count. Shame too, 'cause I'm a really great shot.

I also live in America, in a quiet suburb, with parents who are "non violent".

 

[AWDMANOUT]

I live in Texas.

Everyone has shot guns here lol.

 

[Plackt]

One of the options needs to be "Yes, but I don't own it." (fix-the-spade is a dickhead)

I've fired several types of pistol at the Southport Indoor Pistol Club (QLD, Australia); .22 Ruger, 9mm Glock (Police gun), .357 Magnum, .38 Special, and .44 Magnum. I want to try out the Shotguns next time I go.

I've also fired one of a family friend's hunting rifles, but only VERY small calibre, around .22 I think.

 

[lasherman]

You know, come to think of it... if the zombies ever do show up... Europe is just SCREWED. No guns, no will to act (except in Glasgow maybe), and the politicians will be calling for dialouge instead of fighting.

Lol, I can imagine a huge conference to help settle the disputes between the living and zombies;

"Now, the ambassador to the Living Impaired People's Alliance, would like to say a few words..."

"Mugh! Graugh! Gurrrr... Graaahh! Brains!! Braaaaaaains Ugh... and fair wages. But mostly braaaains!!"

Anyway, yes I have fired my parents' two guns, a 12-gauge shotgun and a .22 rifle, as well as my brother's friend's rifle which I can't remember anything about. From Quebec, Canada

 

[Agayek]

I happen to own a gun cabinet containing 2 12-gauge shotguns, a 4-10 shotgun and a .22 rifle.

I've fired all of them, mostly using the shotguns on skeet, at one point or another. It's not a big hobby of mine, and they're all inherited, but I've fired them all.

And yes, I do live in the States.

 

[Dominar]

I live in VA and have fired a series of guns from SKS's to small .22 hand guns. Even fired and own a bow. I have to say...I like the bow better

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Yes. I've fired various .22 rifle variants (bolt-action, lever-action, semi-auto, and even a pump-action), a Colt Python, a Colt Anaconda, a Walther P99 (chambered in .40 S&W), two Walther P22s (one with a compensator and one without with a laser sight), a Beretta M9, a Kahr CW9, an M1911 clone, and a Magnum Reaserch BFR.

And for the record, I live in the United States (Minnesota, specifically).

 

[Shreder55]

My brother is in cadets so I got a chance to fire a Lee Enfield from WWII.
