Firearms.

I have a .45, two 9MM’s, a 12 gauge, a mini-14 rifle, and an AK-47. 

I have always wanted a AK....just because some people don't want me (anyone) to have one. 

I bought one because it makes people freak out. 

Is there any slight movement on how you feel about this issue?   Please don't hold back.  Big winks and smiles!! 

Your service sidearm?

  In the US military, the weapon is property of the US government and is issued to the servicemember, it is not owned by the servicemember.

Really?  Is that like the one "Hawk," the character off "Spencer For Hire" used to carry?  NICE!!  Between that and your snake, you are good to go!!

HAHAHA Yes. The gun is too big though.  i told my son that i need to go shoot it a couple of times to get the feel of it before actually having to use it to protect myself. I might actually hurt myself if i dont. lol

I could imagine it is not only big but a bit heavy too?   I don't think I could hold it still and aim with any accuracy.  Even when Hawk was carrying it, I thought it looked heavy.
Yes, it would defeat the whole purpose if you shot yourself with your own gun while defending yourself.  I mean, shoot, the attacker only had to show up and startle you.  Little did he know, you might just do the rest for him!
Very Scary!  Please do some target practice and have your snake around your neck while doing it.  You'll need to have that feel because it might be the stance you need to take!  Big Hugs! :) :)

I just looked that up and I am sorry.  I'm sure that would make me hand over my gun too.  WoW.  That is very sad and very scary. :(  Good for you. 

  ((((Folks, that last part means that she and Don are off the grid. Probably a couple of wanted fugitives, or gang members, or international jewel thieves, or mattress tag rippers, or spies, or something shady like that. I've always thought her eyes seemed a little too close together, and now my suspicions are confirmed.))))

You've only touched on our sneaky ways Randy.... We have so many alias the grid couldn't keep up with us if it tried.  We belong to our own gang.  Our spy business corresponds with both our uncanny thieving and mattress tag ripping.  Internationally our quests require many nights in bed with each other while ripping things off.  Take that in many ways.  It was meant to be. :)  The jewels, well the mattresses make an easy way to get them customs.  Our coolest bed was this  This post was edited by Merlin at July 30, 2018 10:41 PM MDT

Where do I begin to disect this?

1. I’m a LEGAL gun owner who has passed a background check for every firearm purchase I’ve made. I’m not a member of a “gun club”. 
2. Owning firearms isn’t hate filled. It’s about self defense from people who want to break into your home, harm you, or harm your loved ones. The only people who carry guns because of enemies are thugs and gang bangers.
3. I’m a correctional officer in a maximum security prison. I do my job. By doing my job I anger society’s scum. Many of them get out. Do I not hold the right to defend myself if they attempt to harm me? 
4. There’s a lot of people who own firearms for hunting and not because of enemies. 
5. Many of us own guns because we realize there are evil people in the world and we want to be able to defend ourselves if a situation arose.

Dont be so judgmental and close minded. 

My .22 was for hunting. Feral rabbits, cats and foxes are a real problem in Australia. A .22 isn't a useful antipersonnel weapon, small calibre and low muzzle velocity - takes a lucky shot unless you use nonstandard ammunition. I didn't, ordinary bullets are fine against small animals that have no business even being here, driving marsupials to extinction.
I got rid of it after Port Arthur - I no longer hunted frequently enough to justify the hike in registration fees.
