      I wish I could cook!!!

      I do, however like to clean guns. It is relaxing for me. I just get a little overwhelmed with all of the different products. So, I purchased 4 or 5 different types and decided to experiment, see what turns up!

      I also purchased a Tipton's gun vise to help me out with the long guns.

      I was just wondering what the women in the Ladies Forum do. Thanks for replying!

            I clean mine and my partner's guns. It's weirdly soothing to me.

              Usually I do, but there are times when I can con my teenage son into shooting one of them. Then he gets to clean them. He thinks he has the better end of that deal, but I know otherwise.

                putting your glock in the dishwasher does not count as "you cleaning"!

                    I enjoy cleaning my guns. It is relaxing and soothing. I have always been one to take things apart to see how they work and then of course have to figure out ways to improve them.
                    Anyone can look around and see the damage to the state and country inflicted by bad politicians.

                    A vote is clearly much more dangerous than a gun.

                    Why advocate restrictions on one right (voting) without comparable restrictions on another (self defense) (or, why not say 'Be a U.S. citizen' as the requirement for CCW)?

                        yes, I do. I shoot them, I clean them. I actually enjoy both.

                          Best way to understand the basic components and how it works is to take it apart. Cant clean a gun without taking a gun apart even if you put it in the dishwasher.

                          To answer OP's question. Yes, I clean my own guns.
                          There are no stupid questions...just stupid people asking questions.

                            Yes, a better question would be who doesn't.

                            EDIT: Sorry, was on my phone and didn't notice the forum. Hope I didn't intrude.

                              OMG this thread would have gone a different route if posted in the OT forum...

                              hehehe.

                              Sadly, I do clean my own guns; (because nobody else will) and now that I introduced someone to a wider range of firearms yesterday, I have 9 guns to clean... They will not be cleaned for maybe another day or so. It IS a lot of work, but some guns are fun to take apart and mess with. What can I say, I DO like to play with mah gun :O
