Re: POLL: (kind of serious, not in the TMI kind of way)

I live in Texas and my whole family owns a gun. I used to have one when I lived with roomates but then I decided not to own one b/c it did make me nervous. My DH (native Nyer) wants one b/c he feels everyone is packing but him. I refuse to let him own one.

We do not own a gun, but I did grow up with a gun in the house. My father was NYPD. I definitely felt safe knowing that we had a gun in the house and someone who was properly trained to use it.



Same here. I was never fazed by them gowing up, it was just part of my dad's job. I have 2 children at home and would never keep one in my house. Even now when my dad has his on him (he's retired but works security so he is licensed to still have his), he does not enter my house with it, that are my wishes.

I don't own a gun. Unless any of you are thinking of robbing me than I own a lot of them.

Re: POLL: (kind of serious, not in the TMI kind of way)

We've got a few. I don't touch them and they don't touch me - so we get along fine. And they're locked up under high secutiry - so no accidents could happen.

DH is a state trooper - so he's licensed.

Re: POLL: (kind of serious, not in the TMI kind of way)

I have a large collection of Paint ball Guns that ex still hasn't picked up. They all look real and he even has a sniper riffle (paint ball). Funny thing is that him and his stupid friend spent alot of money on alot of paint ball guns but never really used them.



But no "real" guns

No guns, just a very good home security system. DH was also special forces, so I'm hoping he can remember how to use his hands as weapons.

Same here. When I was 14 one of my best friends got hold of her dads hunting rifle and shot herself in the head. The sight of her in that casket still haunts me. I refuse to have any in my home. I just hope that people who have them store them the proper way.....

Re: POLL: (kind of serious, not in the TMI kind of way)

DH has one (he is a police officer) but honestly, I don't even know where he keeps it in our house (it is usually locked in his closet I think)...

That being said, it does not make me feel ANY safer in our house. We have an alarm too and I still get scared when I am by myself at night whether the gun is here or not. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: POLL: (kind of serious, not in the TMI kind of way)

I personally own just one- a S&W .357 Magnum (J frame). I love going to the range.
My DH is a part of the SWAT team and he owns several handguns and several rifles.

We have finger password operated safes next to the bed and a huge fire safe in the basement so they are always locked up. I was only scared of guns before I knew how to use them.
