Default So how many people purchased a firearm?

Knowing that firearm ownership in the UK is seen as the realm of gangsters, nutters, and the Royals - I wondered how many of you were tempted by the dark side here in the US and picked up a gun of some kind.

Personally, me and the wife have a small arsenal, lots of fun, a great stress buster, and very handy when 2 mexican gentlemen hop over your back wall at 2am - but that's another story.

So any fellow shooters hereabouts?

Yeah..do a search for 'guns' or something similar and you'll find loads of 'em. The topic has come up multiple times over the years.

My wife would move out if I bought one. Would quite like to shoot thought but I don't have enough desire to spend any money on it!

I think (UK) hubby wants to. I don't care either way. I'll still never forget his first visit over when we went in Walmart - his face when he saw the guns and ammo for sale was a picture!

One or two... or three... or..

My favourite is the CZ 452 .22, fantastic rifle for the money.
