How does a responsible gun owner answer these questions?

1) Gangs

2) Gangs

3) a safe that operates on my fingerprints

4) I have a safe

5) They are in a safe and left to my gun club

6) yes

7) Yes

8) Yes, but I am gay will you take me, I am also disabled will you take me

9) The armed public is to keep us defended from an out of control fascist government

1. Self-defense. A handgun is much easier to carry and fire than a larger gun, like a rifle.

2. Depends on whether the target is moving and what the lighting conditions are. Six shots is an arbitrary cut-off point.

3. By keeping your gun hidden and/or under lock and key when not in use, and putting the safety on so that in a worst-case-scenario situation, the gun can't be used easily by someone who doesn't know how to handle the gun.

4. The same way a person can keep a large stash of money in his possession without physically holding it all - by storing the gun somewhere safe.

5. See above.

6. I couldn't swear that, but hopefully you can. :D

7. No, have you?

8. I just hate this question. There's no obligation or moral duty established to serve in a militia in order to use your 2nd Amendment rights. They are and can be mutually exclusive - DC v Heller and McDonald v Chicago, two Supreme Court cases.

9. False premise - the purpose of an armed public is not to serve in a well-regulated militia. Again, see DC v Heller which stated that an individual right to possess a weapon is unconnected to service in a militia.

1. I don't have to reload as often.

2. At 20 yards only about 14% of shots hit the target.

3. I can't be responsible for what some other person does, but I take reasonable precautions.

4. Everybody needs backup guns.

5. Read 3.

6.

7. Yes pulled it out once to protect my neighbor.

8. No I wouldn't be for being pressed into a militia.

9. Supreme Court has already ruled that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individuals right to bear arms.

1. Self defense and whatever else suits our fancy. it is immaterial and no ones business

2 Sure i can take out six people with six shot if the shooting isn't to harry' Who will deal with the seventh. Irregardless It is my right and I may need them or just want them. Who is to judge that?

3 No one ever has because I am aware of it at all times. If they come in my house that is not my problem they are the criminals. American will not give up there right to Thieves and punks. Plus I have three loving dogs that know who feeds them. It is till my right to have them in my home and no ones right to steal them. We protect our weapons fool they are very expensive.

4. Why would you want to have them with you all the time. Home is a fine place for weapons. We cannot have weapons because of thieves? I would not argue with this person they are too ignorant.

5.This is no one else's business they have no right to ask. Nosy bast@rds.

6.I would not why should I first if they think I have they had better prove it not their business.

7. That is also not their business

8.Of course not and I am my own American militia and no liberal will try to say the second amendment means this. Liberal Pap of the worst sort.

9. The Military is not the militia. If you need to ask this you are either not American or have never bothered to read real American history.

1) 6-15 shots provide peace of mind

2) What if your confronted by multiple assailants?

3) Bio Metric safe, Level III retention holster

4) Firearms are tools and each has a specific purpose, protection, hunting, target, etc

5) A will

6) Yes

7) Yes

8) I believe the 2nd amendment provides the right of the people to keep and bear arms. A well regulated militia may become necessary and if it does I will gladly serve.

9) Why did we form the Dept of Education? Or the Dept of Energy? Because of control issues

Hope this helps. However when you are attacked a lying, crying on the ground, you will be happy to see me and my weapon defending you.

1. Self defense, handgun hunting, target shooting, sport shooting, fun.

2. Yes. Being responsible with firearms has nothing to do with how good a shot you are.

3. I keep a lock on them, and the locker they're stored in.

4. They're in a locker.

5. After I die its none of my control. They'll go to whoever I leave them too in my will, or my kids if I don't put them in my will.

6. Yes.

7. No. Doesn't mean I wont have to in the future.

8. No. Legally I am my own militia. Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 311 further stipulates that the militia consists of all able-bodied males aged 17 to 45, both citizens and those who have declared their intent to become citizens, and of female citizens who are officers of the National Guard.

9. What does that have to do with gun ownership?

In answer to all of your questions I was a Detective in a major US city for 28 years. I worked undercover and seldom carried my weapon but either carried a concealed weapon or safeguarded my old 38 using an old Detectrive trick opening the frame of the gun and putting the frame through one side of a pair of handcuffs while locking the other side of my handcuffs onto a horizontal steel rod. I also had a locked trigger lock on it. I attended firearms instruction every 3 months and more than qualifed often shooting a score of 100. After I retired I gave my weapon to one of my old partners who was still on the job. I never used my weapon in the line of duty and the only time that I almost drew my weapon was after I faced a very menacing pit bull but was able to talk the owner into securing the dog in the house so I could talk to him

What so many people fail to realize is that most law abiding citizens who own guns have a legal gun permit and either use guns for hunting or for competitive target shooting or have carry permits because they are security guards or theit jobs require them to collect , carry or deposit large sums of money in high crime neighborhoods

I never once heard a bad guy say ' I went into that liquor store intending to rob the owner but when I remembered that the gun stuck in my waistband under my jacket was not licensed....I just bought a pint and went home to watch TV '

Not having a gun permit ever stopped any bad guy from obtaining or using a gun in the commission of a crime

More gun control laws only make it more difficult for the law abiding citizen to get a permit for his 1200 dollar Walther .22 Competition Target Pistol

1. It is very useful in target shooting and hunting.

2. I am an excellent shot, but a charging bear is very hard to bring down.

3. It is in my home, which is a safe place. Other times it is in my car, another safe place.

4 I have a large gun collection. I do not need to hold all of them at once.

5 My guns will go to my son, who is also a collector

6 Yes, as a matter of fact I could, and be truthful.

7 Yes, luckily I did not have to fire it.

8 I would be happy to serve

9 The Bill of Rights guarantees my ability to own guns.

The Bill of Rights trumps all other concerns and bigotries. Guns are here to stay. Accept it and get over it.

1. Since I'm a woman, owning any handgun would be useful if someone tried to rape me.

2. That depends on what I'm stopping.

3. What's stopping a person from going to pawn shop and getting one themselves?

4. You can't. But you can lock them up and put the key where no one else can find it.

5. When I die, my gun will be buried with me.

6. Yes.

7. Not yet.

8. Why not? I could use the action.

9. So people can choose to fight on their own free will.

You live in the US that has a Constitution that states the right to bear arms, so either follow the law or try to amend the Constitution, ignoring or stepping over the Constitution for your own sake is unfair to the other citizens in our free society.
