Regarding Guns: Consider Me "Above Average"

[Perseverance]

For the deckhands out there 2 - 3 pads.

Households owning guns probably dropped in states like California, where the government is openly hostile to firearms ownership. Other states in fly over country, not so much.

Really it says there are more households due to single parents that is throwing off the household numbers...

A "target" of whom? Thieves? We already know they fear armed homeowners more than unarmed ones? Plus, the value of "most" people's collections is well less that the value of say a car. You wouldn't fail to admit you own a car would you? In light of the fact that it is IMPORTANT for our rights to get the word out there that "normal" people like we actually own guns! As pointed out above, people fear that which they do not know. You don't think that folks in small rural towns in south claim they don't own guns do you? Of course they own guns. EVERYONE down there does. That which is "normal" is not feared.

Be a proud gun owner.

You must have a really expensive car.


And yes, if it hadn't been for that tragic CG boating accident, I too would be above average.

LOL. Hell, casual gun owners get scared when I tell them how many I own.

My brother is a leo and last year he was telling me that one of his fellow officers was under investigation (for some off color comments that he made which caused concern among his superiors). He then said that during the investigation "they found out that he owns FIFTEEN GUNS", like it was a bad thing. Check that: maybe not a bad thing but a strange or shocking thing. I was thinking 15 guns for a leo or true enthusiast is at best a good start.

I've never told him the exact number of guns I own. Probably because he's never asked and also because at any given time I'm not exactly sure myself. But we go to the range together at least once a month and I always bring 1 or 2 guns he hasn't seen or shot so he knows it's more than just a few.
