Hoho! I wish.

no, neither, but i have airsoft guns...

I dont think you can get a concealed pistol permit unless

1: Your a cop
2: your a PI
3: EX army member (i think)
4: FBI-CIA agent
5: Secret Service
6: Bounty Hunter...

i think thats it.

of course, secret service has more than pistols..

anybody can get a concealed weapon permit. i don't have a concealed weapon permit, but that's mainly because in the united states you have to be 21 or older and i won't be that until the 28th of this month. i do however own a 20 gauge shotgun. a lot of people around here own several guns, but hunting is also a big thing around here.

I have my gun license and a member of the British Field Sports society. I have 2 x 12 Bore guns, 1 is a Beretta the other as Browning. I also own a .410 as well, but rarely use it.

I shoot at weekends when i'm home, mainly Pheasants, Rabbits, Fox and Hares. I sometimes do Clay-Pidgeon shooting as well. It's pretty much a way of life where I am from, my Father is a keen huntsman and was brought up in the countryside, so i kinda got into it at a young age.

I have many debates about Fox Hunting and Deer Hunting with dogs!

I own a total of 5 guns, 4 .22 rifles and 1 3030 rifle. All of my .22s are different.

One is an old German made, single shot, bolt action .22 that my dad gave me when I turned 13, which his dad gave him when he turned 13. The stock is carved with the dates of the gift as well. I added a small scope to the gun, other than that, it's the exact same as it's been for years, and in really good condition. I've had it now for over 10 years.

Another is a left-handed, tubefeed semi-automatic .22, it was given to me as a gift from a friend.

Another is a bolt action .22 with a 10 round magazine.

Another is a pre-ban 1022 with a folding stock. It has several high capacity magazines (banana clips), a magazine convertor so I can use regular (fat) 1022 mags as well as the sim mags, and it has a hell-fire switch. If you don't know what a hell-fire switch is, here's how it works...it slides into the trigger guard and it cause the gun to fire a round when you pull the trigger back and when you push the hell-fire trigger forward, the end result is similar performance to an automatic weapon when you just rock your finger back and forth in the trigger guard. Accuracy is crap when using it, but it's killer fun to use!

Then, I have a winchester style 3030 with a massive scope on it. By winchester style, I mean it looks just like this one: click me

I also have 9 swords, 1 battle axe and 63 knives (at last count). hee hee

I've often thought about getting a CHL (concealed handgun license) but I'm not real sure why I'd need one. I always have a knife with me though, a pocket knife of some kind but it's mostly a convience.

There's only been one oppertunity where I had to use one of my guns to protect my family, it was not a fun experience and I didn't actually have to pull the trigger.

I have shot several handguns and I really want to get one...one day. I can't really afford it right now.

my 20 gauge is my "home security device" . it's just an old single-shot youth sized one made by new england, i got it for my 10th or 11th birthday...hence the youth-sized.

I have an H&K .45 USP
a semi auto Marlin .22
and a Marlin 3030 for deer hunting which I haven't done in about 10 years at least.

no concealed carry in my state.. BUT they are working on passing it in the state legislature and it looks like it will go through this time so maybe soon.

I'll just life with a BB and (I want) a switchblade. Right now the only "weapon" i (sleep with for no reason except not to loose it) is a Leatherman super tool 200.

I might want a pistol just for fun (or at least shoot one) but I doubt I'll ever buy one.

Actually for security I'll place my trust in God.

Bah, you guys are all wimps, who needs guns?!?! I have a leather handled throwing knife with a 10 inch long blackened blade that works as my protection. A bit hard to conceal though, but I can stick it with an 88% success rate (still working on it) I also have two throwing tomahawks and four swords and a full-size airsoft M4-A1 SOPMOD. Actually I'm just to young to have a gun and therefore very jealous. :P

Blessings,
Ereon

I have a sword, Jesus gave it!

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. - Mat 10:34

And quess what it can do:

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. - Heb 4:12

And I'll put on some armor too:

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
- 1Th 5:8

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: - Eph 6:17

------------------
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. - Psa 69:9
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. - Joh 12:25

mastallama, superb collection.

my friend has a crapload of stuff.

i used to have 3 bb guns- one C02 powered handguh, a pump bb gun rifle with a 4x scope, and a sucky spring powered bb/dart gun.

i had about 6 knives, and am now down to one. shark/diving knife (straps on leg)..serated halfway, smooth at the front 2 or 3 inches.

had to get rid of most cuz i have made alot of moves by plane and didnt want to deal with the hassle.

Myself I own a Paintball marker. My pa, has:
-2x 9mm Smith & Weston (sp?)
-2x .22's (1 is a 10 shot semi auto, 1 is a single)
-Revolver of some sort, never payed attention
-Various knives he's taken off of bikers, criminals etc.

I plan on buying a new marker this spring though. Getting more involved with the sport.

"The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One. Many ordinary treasures may be denied him, or if he is allowed to have them, the enjoyment of them will be so tempered that they will never be necessary to his happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a sense of loss, for having the Source of all things he has in One all satisfaction, all pleasure, all delight. Whatever he may lose he has actually lost nothing, for he now has it all in One, and he has it purely, legitimately and forever."-Tozer

I've also got a tipman A-5 with a flatline barrel (paintball marker) I have really liked it, but I didn't get to play at all this year because I've been working two jobs and havn't had the time.

a5 eh? nice gun, tho i think the design of the flatline for the a5 is just...wrong.

the a5 was made to look like and mp5...if they wanted to stay consistent with that design they should have made the flatline barrel for it look more like the flatline for the 98 custom.

LOL!! I have two of those... But i don't know where they are... probably haven't unpacked them from our move from Florida to Indiana... They really do stink, huh... But they're fun for target practice, and my 7-year old brother can use them...
