Of course and in my opinion - you should own at least 3 because guns are different for different needs.
I've stated this before. When I was in Malaysia, I was asked many times "what is it like living in a society where everyone has guns - are you frightened??". My answer was "Think about it!! If you knew everyone had guns and were ready to use them - WOULD YOU ROB SOMEONE?". Their answer would always be "NO".
People outside the US don't understand that guns are not a problem - idiots and gangs members with guns are a problem. Some people turn into idiots. Other people are born that way.
-- enough said.
Benny - great answer buddy. I'm right there with ya.
It's a long way to the top if ya wanna rock and roll!

You people kill me!
Oh wait. One day you probably will....it will be a horrible mistake, of course.
If you want to own a gun, that's fine. But just be aware that many shootings in this country are accidental, and hurt only friends and family members or innocent bystanders. I lost a brother in law because of a gun being in the wrong hands -- a convicted felon's.

inky I have pulled on one boogie man, and taken a gun away from one. sorry about your brother in law but bad things happen to good people. the way I see it with guns is it is better to have one and not need it. then to need one and not have it. most of the accidents happen with people who are not familiar with them. it is really tough with kids in the house. my kids were shooting early and we never had a problem. whats really bad is homes that don't have kids and someone who does visits. You relax to much without kids around and that is dangerous. Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

education used to be covered by the family. If you wanted a hunting license, and now I believe in California to buy you need to take a hunter safety course. part of the problem is the more guns are supressed the less training there is, and urban crime and video games takes the blood and pain out of murder this question was in regards to the bill of rights not to the right to murder anyone. Nobody should ever want to take a life. and having a gun should be to protect innocent lives. I won't minimize your argument or hit you with quotes that you have heard a million times. the one that I grieve is the McGowan family. If it was what it is said to be. that was truely senseless I hope you will still acept your valentine day card real soon.

Inky, I’m truly sorry for your friend and his family. If the perp. thought that he was armed he may have left him and his family alone. Gun control only keeps guns away from good citizens, the laws that do not allow every day citizens to carry guns opens them up to be victims of criminals that break the law by carrying gun the fact is in states that allow CCW crime is down. A criminal will pick on a person they feel is not going to fight back or can not fight back, if he had thought that your friend could defend himself he would not have been attacked. We do have a choice in this country to own or not to own a gun it is up to the individual to decide how they want to live. I chose to own a gun and if needed to, to defend my family.
I don’t need your attitude thanks, I have one of my own!

a bit late to the party.. you don't need the waiver to ride the sky chair if you are walking. Only bike riders need the waiver. The walk down is a different path this year and steeper.
Gun ownership
Glad the baby's safe.
