Bound's hubby here:\n\nI was brought up around guns. I was taught from an early age that guns were not toys but they were, first and foremost, tools that put food on the table. Secondarily, they were for recreation, and finally, they were for defense. The way I was brought up I was taught firearm safety with my toy guns before I was even allowed to touch a firearm. I was taught to respect firearms. At no point did my parents or grandparents try to keep guns away from me to make them mystical and curious objects. Even though I was given my first gun at 9, I was not allowed to touch any gun without supervision until I was 14. \n\nThe first lesson I had about what a gun could do was when I was about 8. When my grandfather had me shoot his hunting shotgun at an old metal bucket... it not only knocked me on my butt, the bucket was full of about maybe 50 holes and bounced a good 20 feet. It caught my eye about what a gun could do. \n\nMy wife and I have decided that our daughter (and any other children we may have) will be brought up around guns. We will not isolate her from guns to make her curious about them. From an early age she will be taught to respect a firearm and how to make it safe. She will know how to safely handle them and use them. Should she have any toy guns, the safety lessons will begin there. \n\nShe will not be raised with mixed values about guns. There will not be any paintball guns nor airsoft guns. She will not be allowed to think that it's ok to point one type of gun at a person and not another. All guns, whether toy or real, will be treated the same... as if they were real guns. Safety begins at an early age and in the home. She will learn that guns are tools that put food on the table, that they provide recreation (target shooting, competitions, etc.) and security. The greatest lesson she will learn is that when a gun goes off the outcome will be final... not like on t.v. when a character is shot one week and returns the next, unscathed. She will learn that when she is angry she doesn't turn to a gun first. If she demonstrates that she is not ready or responsible, her exposure to guns may be delayed or minimized.

I have told there is a town in Texas (?) where it is mandatory for all allowable residents to carry a gun at all times, they are given instruction on it's use etc. The street gun crime rate is almost non-existent. Gun toting criminals have found out the hard way, to go somewhere else.\nSensible use of guns should be applauded.\nTake this scenario\nGuy pulls gun on couple walking back from theatre, he hears from all around him, "hold it one moment sucker" and finds that maybe 20 people have pulled their guns and pointing them at him, at the same time due to their training the couple have dropped to the ground and have their own guns out.... not a very auspicious moment for the mugger.\n\nI am not advocating the carrying of guns without due training, that is like giving a 10 year old the keys to a Porche... crazy.....

I also support mandatory gun ownership.  Everyone in the U.S. should be encouraged to own, master and care for their privately owned firearms.  Bad guys would think twice about victimizing law abiding folks.  People would learn to accept some responsibility for their own safety, and feel a sense of liberty from knowing that they are truly free.\n\nBenjamin Franklin said that any person who is willing to sacrifice liberty for security is entitled to neither.  Let's remember the lessons of our Founding Fathers.

Of course I support our second ammendment right.  For those who think it's not needed anymore maybe they should ask the thousands of civilians who's lives are saved simply because they own a weapon.  I have a right to protect me and my family and will do so at all costs.  If we take guns out of those who abide by the law and purchase them legally we are only leaving them in the hands of the criminals. Because I guarantee that crack dealer down the street didn't fill out the paperwork for that 9mm he has in his belt.

It is not impossible to own a gun in Canada.  My husband hunts and owns several guns.  You just have to have all the permits required, etc.  It's far from impossible.  So chill out.

Yeah, but I wouldn't worry too much. \n\nWithout the pistol what's the worry about having ammo that also happens to fit a pistol?  It's having the pistol that's the real issue. Right?\n\nAlso .22 rim-fire is very low power, not that I want to be shot at by it! :)

I'm a police officer, and I am all for law-abiding citizens owning guns, on one condition: If you're gonna have a gun, learn how to use it. If you don't learn how to use your gun, don't practice with it regularly, don't keep it clean and operational, then it will be more of a danger than a protection.\n\nAny person who is considering gun ownership should take a firearms safety course, which are offered by many different organizations, including many police departments. It's also important to practice with a firearm regularly, because, as with any other skill, if you don't use it, you lose it. Having a gun does no good if you can't hit what you're aiming at. Equally important is proper care and maintenance of the gun, which really just comes down to periodic cleaning and oiling. And of course, if you're going to have a gun, just make sure you follow all the local guidelines to ensure that you have all the necessary permits.\n\nIf a law-abiding citizen learns gun safety, practices with their gun, and keeps it in good working order, than I have absolutely no problem at all with them having a gun. In fact, I've seen more than one life saved because the "victim" had a gun and knew how to use it.

The Law exists, and is there. However there are some little minor glitches here.\n1) Why do you have a gun?\n2)Why did you not attempt to walk away and call the Police/\n   (taking the Law in to your own hands...)\n3) you must be able to prove beyond reasonable "doubt" that    you  were in a situation of self defense, and you had no other recourse.\nMost likely you will go to prison, unless you can prove with witnesses.............

It really doesn't sound like a problem to me.  Have fun and enjoy life while you can.

Yes guns should NOT be legalised in britain. It opens it up for any maggot to get a hold of one, One of the nice things about living here is knowing that we have little chance of ever seeing one, let alone having one pointed at us. However we do have the right to bear arms and defend ourselves against intruders. This could be anything that comes to hand, even your hands themselves. Maybe a handy baseball or cricket bat, or a hammer. Personally I favour the razor sharp samurai sword. Nothing says 'get the fuck out of my house' quite like one of those.
