I had to get a smaller Concealed Weapon when I got Thinner. I went from a Springfield XD 9mm Subcompact to a Micro Desert Eagle 380. No Pink for me so far.

the pitfalls of getting skinny.....lol

Just a question: elcee my friend, and yes you are my friend... still... Would you be more inclined to post a sign in your window that says: This house is a gun free house..... Are ... This house is protected by a gun owner? Because it sure would make it easier for the criminals to pick which house the hit....

I lived in South Africa for many , many years. South Africa is also a gun obsessed society. Having a gun there never did anything to improve your chance of survival, if anything having a gun made you more likely to be killed. I know of many people who got carjacked and did not survive because they reached for their gun - their chances would have been better had they just put their hands in the air and got out of the car.

My partner had a gun, we still got broken into numerous times.

The majority of guns owned by the criminals were ones that had been legally bought by someone else and then stolen.

Congrats! I too am a gun lover! I have been raised by 2 brothers and a father who loves huntin and fishin and I married a man who loves the outdoors as much as me. My username was based off my love I have for my Benelli shotgun and I am a huge fan of my Weatherby 257mag rifle that I shot my first deer with and my mouflon ram with 3 years ago and got my first tom turkey the following year while huntin with my 14y.o. son. We had a blast. I had the best birthday gift when my hubby bought me my first handgun after my class. I asked for a taurus tracker 44magnum. It packs a punch but it handles beautifully! It is an awesome hog gun too. I am so glad to hear other women enjoying firearms because its just as much as a womans thang as a mans but women have better hand eye coordination I believe! Haha everything is bigger in texas and so are all my guns verses my husbands guns and I beat him everytime in our ***** shoot tournaments. HA HA! LOVE IT!

I'm in NY .....I learned after that shooting in Connecticut that having guns in the house is a bad idea.

[CHEZNOEL 4,061]

I can shoot, but prefer not to carry. It is personal choice. I respect everyone's choice to choose for themselves. I do oppose semi-automatic guns... I hope you don't need to shoot that deer that many times... lead is tough to chew!

I'm a gun owner...and have been a hunter since I was 12, although have not been recently.........

When I was growing up, seemed like everyone in our town had guns.....you could walk into any department store that had a sporting goods section and but one on the spot....just needed to be 18.....no big deal....and anybody of any age could buy ammo...I know because I did it when I was 15, friends and I would go to sand pits to target practice.

NEVER heard about the insane stuff going on today by sick, evil individuals....I truly believe there is something else going on.......

hey B.... you are looking great!!

Like i said, most of us in the south start shooting guns at an early age mostly for hunting reason... duck, geese, deer, rabbit... etc. So shooting in not new to me at all. But, learning to be safe and confident with my gun is why i took the class.

I clean office buildings on the weekends and sometimes i don't get done till after dark, i want to be able to protect my self.

This is a crazy world we now live in.... it will be crazier if we and Americans aren't allowed to defend and protect our self, family and property.

Like i said before.... i would rather have a gun and never need it than need a gun and not have it.
