Yes. Numerous different firearms of assorted calibers. I enjoy exercising my right to own firearms.

Hooray for Boy Scout camp--where 13 year old idiots with ADHD get handed rifles and shotguns and are told to shoot stuff!

So, yes, I have, and thankfully nobody was injured.

Holland, and no. I have never even seen a gun in real life. I don't care for it, either. (Although I must admit that those Remington hunting rifles are fucking gorgeous.)

No wait, I went to holiday in Turkey and there there were some kind of police or army fellows walking around with subautomatics strapped to them. Kind of freaky.

I'm very anti guns, quite frankly the thought that people are allowed to carry them and store them in their own houses terrifies me and I'm glad I dont live in such a country.
If people around me carried guns, then I would need to carry a gun too "just in case", making the world a more dangerous place.

I'd rather stick to my fists, my legs to run away if necessary, and if I'm in real danger: fight like a caged animal and not hesitate to eye gouge or crotch kick if other guy is bigger.
I also have sharp teeth if all else fails :)

All that is blown apart if random thug attacking me has a gun because the country allows its citizens to arm itself, hence the need for me to also carry one.

I'm from UK, and one of the many reasons I love this country is because of the anti gun mentality (what a shame knife crime is on the rise though). I also think our police is amongst the best in the world precisely because they aren't armed (as well as being more polite and humane then the majority of police forces I've encountered in my travels)

I have shot shotguns before.
Also I shot a 9mm, .44 magnum and the .357 mag version of the Desert Eagle in the West Edmonton Mall. At the firing range there.

(I am from southern Ontario, Canada)

so far my favorite would be the our lever action 22, semi auto ruger 22 pistol and our .223

I've got one in the closet next to me.

Also, about 5 years ago I went to a friend of my dad's house, which was way out in the middle of nowhere. This guy's dad was an ex-cop or something, and so he had a huge amount of guns at his house. They let me mess around a little bit with those. If memory serves, for a first-timer, I was pretty accurate with them. :)

That was in Northern California, by the way.

A knockoff Romanian AK-47, a Russian AK-74, a Scorpion, a Kar98k, a pump Remington 870, a M16a2 a few times for AF CATM (which likes to jam frequently), and a USP .45. The 74 was probably my favorite.

Many-a-time. From Canada.

.22 rifles, 357-magnum, single and double .12 shotguns, BB-guns, pellet-guns, paintball guns, also a rather shiny Colt 45 revolver which I am sad to say I did not own.

Close rules to follow in my family, though. Safety first, don't bring them unless you're going to use them - hunting game birds, deer, moose, etc. I don't intend to go shooting people in the face. -.^

I am Canadian and while I technically don't own the gun (but I will once I'm 18 and can get a PAL) I have fired an old Mosin-Nagant. It was made in soviet union in 1943.

Only a double-barreled shotgun for clay pigeon shooting. Not many other guns than that in Ireland.

living in an area were you hunt alot like i do, its pretty much an every weekend occurance. having to sight your guns in, just shooting for the hell of it, and looking down the scope at a 10 point buck is pretty much all you can do in shitfuck west virginia, well, that and four wheeling.

weapon of choice: 12 gauge and a winchester repeating rifle.
that and my 44. cal super black hawk scoped magnum. its almost enough to make you cum in your pants.

I've been the range a few times with my .38 cal Ruger LCR. I'm getting pretty good too. I live in the U.S. by the way.

I personally own 4 firearms, and have shot dozens more. I live in Georgia, in the good old US of A.
Lessee... Marlin 30/30 Lever action (2006 stainless model... yum!)
Colt 45 (everybody needs a .45 cal handgun. Like the Desert Eagle except without all the shoulder dislocation)
Remington 700 (longer ranged shots can be a pain with a lever action. Bolt action 400 meters plus all teh way!)
1861 einfield 58 cal minié ball musket. (family heirloom that still shoots... kicks like a ***** though)

First gun I fired was a .22 at my grandparents house... I was 9 as I recall. I hunt, bow and rifle (only okay with bow... best with my Remington or Marlin). I cast and load my own ammunition as it saves cost. Moment I have the money I will be joining a sport shooting league for my pistol.
I'm a firm believer of militaristic readiness, and I love guns.
