    I have a Browning BAR in 30.06, an old Winchester 1400 in 12G, A Marlin Model 60 and a custom built Ruger 10-22 for my .22s. My only handgun is a S&W Model 586 in .357 with a 6inch barrel. Love them all for what they are, but would love to add to them. Shooting is a joy.

    Nice little collection there. Though we own a great deal of guns, most are rifles and shotguns, and I haven't had the chance to shoot most of them. I did shoot my boyfriend's AR 15 though, and I love the thing, only thing I didn't like was that, well, it wasn't made for a lefty shooter! lol

    I have several:
    M&P 9mm compact, Glock 19 9mm, Magnum Research Baby Eagle .40 cal, Springfield XD40 & XD45, a semi-auto and pump 12 gauge shotguns, an AR15, and a semi-auto .22 rifle.

    Although I am licensed to "carry" (which we no longer require in AZ), I don't carry where I live. I live in the country, but when I roam into the big city I might load up my M&P9c just in case.

    I'm also right handed, and left-eye dominant... but I don't think I can shoot left handed.

    Eek, I can NOT shoot righty, especially not rifles! I can't line up the sights to save my life! lol I HAVE to shoot lefty if I want to hit anything lol

    given our current government trend toward doing away with the 2nd amendment, I would not tell the internet what guns I own! The Men in Black may come knocking.......:flowerforyou:

    Hmmmm.. As I was saying in earlier post, I have several guns for Home Protection.... Also, since 1968, all guns bought and sold are registered.

    I'm quite happy that Australia isn't like America when it comes to guns... far too many people get shot by idiots carrying guns! It's that simple. So, nah, not a gun fan here. I'll leave the guns with the cops, and stay thankful that i don't need a gun to protect myself.

    I would just like to point out that most of the people that do the shooting do it either A. in self defense or B. don't legally own that gun anyway. And you never need a gun to protect yourself, until that one time that you do. Just because there is "no" gun violence, doesn't mean there is no violence in general.

    Since so many people here in MFP live in countries that dont allow them the simple freedom to own a firearm, and therefore cannot relate, I would suggest everyone who disagrees with the topic of this thread just move along. This isn't a conversation about your country being safer because they are outlawed, it's simply a show and tell. :smile:

    I don't own a gun... my friend does - he's a range master at a local gun club here... He has taken me a few time and I LOVE IT!
    It is so much fun!!!

    We went last week and I shot
    a 22 cal 8 shot S&W
    9MM 15 round 4 inch barrel S&W
    38 special 2 inch barrel S & W
    357 1 7/8 inch barrel S&W - I shot with 38 rounds in and liked the balance.
    Mosin Nigant model 9130 sniper rifle 7.62 X 54 R rounds (same as a 30 cal machine gun round)

    I can totally see how punks think they are invicible having these guns on them! But for pure entertainment at the range - BRING EM ON!!!!

    Too many to list here, and let's just say I'm glad I live in a free state where machine guns and silencers are legal as well. :)
