Sorry that was meant to be 'more likely' not 'more than likely'.

We have a model 22. I wanted a 23 but my husband thought it was too small for his hand and he wanted to shoot it also. A 23 is such a comfortable fit for women who and our smaller hands. But it still packs the punch of a 40 caliber! Someday I may get my 23...

Last time I went to Florida to visit my sister my BIL took me trap shooting, and it was AWESOME! There's something very satisfying about shooting at a small moving object. It was like playing a new game, I was determined to learn it and do well. I can't wait to do it again.
That said, I have no interest whatsoever in owning a gun. I know myself well enough to know that I'll be all over target shooting for a few months and then I'll stop and have this big expensive weapon taking up space. Also, I don't buy the "we need guns for safety because there's someone trying to rob/attack/rape/kill me at ever corner" argument. I have no problem with legal gun ownership, though.

For the record, a stun gun CANNOT kill you. A taser? Yes. Stun gun? No way. There is a difference between tasers and stun guns. Stun guns have low amps--high volts. Tasers have low volts, but high amps--and it's the amps that kill you. Not the volts.

My husband wanted me to get the Glock 27, which is a lot smaller. I held it and it was too small for even my tiny hands.  He wants to be able to have a weapon for concealed carry, but I'd like the 23

I'm not a gun nut and if they decided to take all our guns away, I'd live. But I've been around guns most of my life and don't mind it. I can't shoot an animal, but those around me do and I reap the benefits. I'm a good shot and I love to shoot both guns and bow and arrow.
I currently own a little lhandgun, but I keep it at my dad's.
My dad, current beau, and 2 exes all carry concealed. As do a large portion of people around here. And believe you me, legal or not, many of them should NOT be carrying weapons.

Ohh so they carry sticks!! New York's Finest BETTER carry a pow pow as much stuff that happens here.
I'd get a bb gun for the damned squirrels and raccoons and I'd have no shame. They tear up the garden and your roof something awful.

Don't own a gun, technically. My boyfriend has a .22 rifle. He took me target shooting once in the country and I never missed! 
My dad is a hunter, so I've been around all kinds of guns my whole life. Doesn't bother me.
What bothers me is something like this happening:
A man from my town found an intruder in his garage last week. He threatened the intruder with a baseball bat, then the intruder took it from him and brained him with it! The homeowner wasn't seriously hurt and the intruder was arrested, but man. Whacked in the head with your own weapon. It could have ended tragically.

This more or less is my concern with the growing acceptance of guns and lethal weapons among the general population... As I previously expressed, its possible if eeeeveryone had a weapon and eeeeveryone was aware that everyone else had a weapon, manners might well be more stringently adhered to... but that raises the bar doesnt it. Now the "alpha male" in crazyland isnt the one waving the only gun in the room around... now hes the only one using it... whereas decent folk might well carry a weapon for "protection" in a soceity that encouraged it, but would quite likely not even consider using it even when under threat.
Im not trying to guilt anyone, by the way, I can totally see how you guys developed an interest in shooting since you have abundantly more outdoor space than the average english-person does (shooting indoors and in crowded built up areas is a little bit silly) but I doubt I will ever get my coddled british brain around the concept of these things being readily available. lol

Lucky it was a baseball bat and not a gun that was taken off him! Scary stuff.

Here is the place...name totally cracks me up!

Also, how did you come to know the officer who has helped you?
I did check out Academy. They have a pretty good selection of goodies.

Yep.
My dad had guns when we were growing up and we learned to shoot rifles on camping trips. I'm not scared of guns or dislike them but I don't really feel a need to own one right now- or maybe ever. Not sure.
I've been to a few gun shows though. Those are very interesting and informative. And it's weird but I've never seen so many pregnant women in one place before.

I haven't read most of the thread, so excuse me if I am answering something that has no bearing on the most recent conversations.
I have a few guns and I love shooting. Mind you, I never shot a gun until I met Curlyboy.
But I am a damn good shot!! hehehe...
I have...
a .357 6-shot pistol
a 10mm semi-auto pistol
a AK-15 (semi-auto) rifle
a black-powder muzzle loader 50cal rifle
I am actually going to go for my concealed weapons license and get certified for the 10mm.

I don't have any guns, I'm not sure if I'd want to use/own one either, as there's too much danger of fatally hurting yourself or others (even if you know how to use one, if you panic you may forget your skills).
However I'm more than willing to let my hands, feet, knives, and/or my "big sticks" be self defense weapons. Both me and SO would like to learn how to use cross bows and arrows too. I'm one of those people who thinks that you should use the least amount of force necessary to defuse a violent confrontation. Of course if your life is in imminent danger, go all out..

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "shotgun wedding".

The vast majority of us don't even own a weapon deadlier than a butcher's knife, and the overwhelming majority certainly do not carry anything on their person. I'm not denying that we have more than our fair share of gun-nuts in this country, and yes, they freak me out too. But try not to let the loonies and the media, or whatever, convince you that most of us are walking around packing heat in our purse, LOL.
