To counter the seriousness of my other (extremely popular) poll, I thought we should lighten things up a bit, and have a poll party around guns. Play nice, people, and don't shoot the messenger. Thank you.

No, and I am male

I don't own a gun

I don't own a gun and they they are too restricting - this is speaking specifically to laws in NJ, it can take months for a gun permit to work its way through the bureaucracy and one often has to visit the local police multiple times to hurry it up. I'm aware of cases where permit fees have been paid but the application has not been brought to closure for over a year.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

I don't own a gun yet, but I've been weighing in on purchasing a handgun. If I buy one, I plan on getting a trigger lock. I don't see owning a handgun as a reasonable method of protection from someone invading my home, but I can see the need when traveling long distance.

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

I have had a saddle rifle for about 40 years and it was last fired about 40 years ago. May not even count as a gun any longer :P

I am female and have a .22 cal. Colt Woodsman for target practice. Took up trap shooting a few years ago and hope to get a shotgun in the near future.

Current laws are just about right and need to be upheld more.

Don't own a gun, female,gun laws are too lax, but I would never begrudge anyone their constitutionally mandated right to own a gun. Personally, it's not just for me.

Ditto everything above

Married since 9-18-04(All K1 visa & GC details in timeline.)
