I hunt. I also like to shoot at targets. Currently looking for my next gun that is going to be used for long range bird hunting. Thinking of a 6.5x55SE (6.5 sweedmoor :)) because it's actually cheaper than anything other than 22lr and handgun cartridges over here in Scandinavia.
Been thinking about getting into hand loading because my .338WM is quite expensive to shoot but that will probably have to wait for next year.
Frequently drive multiple hours through BFE in some very meth infested country. Go camping in national forest lands every other week during the summer where cougars abound. And in the case of my parents, ranch pest control and something to make use of the landowner permit deer tag they get once in a while.
I don't carry in town vast majority of the time, for obvious reasons, but I've got plenty of reasons to have a couple firearms. They are useful tools like any other. Also high precision target shooting is fun af.
It's like having two dicks and it's much larger than the one that I was born with.
Placeholder comment for later.
Nice
Trump, the second coming.
I have a rifle and a revolver, but they're both limited edition items that my grandfather got from a steel mill where he worked, so they're a "shoot if you have to" kind of thing.
I'd like to have more, because I enjoyed target shooting as a kid. However, they're not cheap, and I'm not sure I have the time.
At the same time, I'm in the US and the inmates are running the asylum, so I feel like I should have more.
I grew up with shooting sports so it's normal for me, but I understand the reticence from people who aren't familiar. Guns are terrifying, and if you own one and stop treating it like a death stick at all times, you should consider getting rid of it.
