I have 6 spread through out the house.

Remington 12ga. model 870
Remington 7mm mag
British 303 mk3
.38 Colt super
.38 Smith&Wesson model 10
Colt .357 Trooper mk V

My children have grown up with these guns in the house. Children brought up in a home that are taught proper respect for firearms, will respect others as well. Where I am, most home owners do own firearms.

My children have never threatened anyone with a gun. Though my daughter shot one man who broke into her home. Her husband was out of state. Yes he does need a sex change, where she shot him.

In 1974 my paper for science (high school) I wrote was how to make a atomic bomb. I got a visit from the F.B.I. shorty after that. I visited several libaries in Los Angeles, and got all the information I needed.

Oops, I was a badddddddddd boy back then................

Rt 66 - knowing how to make something and actually building it are way different. You can learn some amazing things in libraries. We must censor all libraries. Too much information is available. Like there is an alternative to voting for the Republicans.

BTW – how many guns I have is for me to know and any attackers to find out.

I certainly hope she ran right out for some range time to improve her accuracy.

i certainly hope that she aims there again next time someone breaks into her house; if we breed out the criminally ignorant and the criminally criminal, maybe we can at last have a little bit of peace and quiet in our neighborhoods.

I have to disagree. Completely eliminating this individual from the gene pool would've been more effective...

The only guns that I have at home are waterguns.

Exactly why do you need to know how many guns anyone has? Making a list?

Just so you don't make the same mistake again, there is a huge difference between a weapon and a gun. One is for fightin' and the other's for fun.

My gun isn't for self defense but I'll try anything once. You never know when a tribe of Amazons will invade your home and your only chance of survival is to use your gun. Hey, it could happen!

true. plus, no legal hassles. but, dependent upon what kind of ammo she used, it might have gotten rid of him altogether; imagine a large caliber hollow point in that area of the body...
