OT Gun owners

I bought myself a firearm for home defense today.

Glock 19 Generation 4 9mm w/ 33 round magazine. Just needs a x300light and its perfect.

Do you own firearms OT?

No.

I have my PAL (Possession and Acquisition License) and have plans on buying a shotgun and rifle when I move into a house that I own... but no handguns. The restricted license is just too complicated to maintain.

My understanding of Canadian gun laws are that the biggest issue would be the magazine. I don't really understand how the restricted licensing works. I've met Canadians with VZ-58 rifles and even Norinco M14s they just had the magazine's pinned to a lower capacity.

This is irony, no?

Thank you.

Besides, the second amendment is called an amendment for a reason :P it wasn't part of the first drawn constitution.

Ehh, I dunno, I sorta interpreted it as a lack of comprehension of the constitution and the rights it stood for, which is why I mentioned it. It seemed to me like the poster believes the USA is a Catholic country, and the second ammendment was part of the constitution all along.

I have a Glock 21 Gen4 .45, a heavily-modified AR-15 with an EOTech 512 and 2x magnifier attachment. I've also got an older Remington shotgun where my wife can get to it quickly and has fired a number of times.

At work I carry a new Glock 19, and a Glock 26 as my back-up and off-duty carry.

My armament of choice.

I have a S&W XP9.

Its alright. I don't feel like buying anymore right now because I have other needs that are priority to firearms. I had plenty of time to **** around with guns while I was active duty.

I will have to qualify with a couple of different guns for this Animal Control job I just got, but that isn't until later.

You guys are feeding the troll. Stahp it.

Restricted is stupid, I'll start there.

For more detail, it's a specific list of guns that the Canadian government is afraid of. Semi-auto AR-15? Prohibited (no one can own one). Tavor TAR-21? Completely legal, and defined as a long-gun. But they both do the same goddamn things with the same ammunition.

Restricted definitions are based mostly around barrel length (not shorter than a specific length, I cannot recall it now), overall weapon length and whether or not there is a stock (i.e. pistols with integrated stocks are not restricted, but those without are). You can buy a handgun with a long enough barrel and it becomes a long gun.

Magazine size is strictly limited across all weapons, and hunting restricts it even more (shotguns for instance can have a magazine no larger than 3 shells).

Never owned handguns, I used to own a Sako Fiberclass 270 cal rifle and a 12 GA Beretta al391 Ulrika shotgun for hunting but I no longer are in possession of them, finally sold those to a friend, now I hunt with bow.

Declaration of Independence:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

"God" is only mentioned once in the opening paragraph, and it definitely isn't the Abrahamic God.

Without God there would be no United States.

Except for the fact that the United States was built on a foundation of equality and non-religious ideals. The first country of it's kind in the history of humanity. Guaranteeing religious freedom to all citizens.

the founding fathers were obviously super religious, after a long hard week of distilling whiskey, smoking pot and fucking slaves they were right there in the pews getting their holy on.

M1 Garand, Mauser 98k, AK-47, AR-15, S&W .45

What brand is that AR-15?

I have a Daniel Defense M4v5 that I run in carbine courses. I used to have a Windham Weaponry SRC,but I could never go back to a regular AR-15 after using a DD lightweight.

Don't need or want one.

Under god wasn't added until 1954

guns are for wussys that need to feel alpha male

@Nengo_Flow: people like you scare me the most.

.

i dont have a gun so you dont need to be scared... its people with gun that you need to watch out for.

Most of them have an itch to use them in real life situations, even when the situation doesnt call for one.

So, all I hear is you are unarmed.....

lol. whose alt is this?

In my country there is a pollicy that if you're a soldier you're not allowed to have any firearms in the home and since my dad is a soldier i have to say no (although i've shot a weapon many times)

Do airsoft guns count? :P

Looking down the sights of the rifle

its just a regular Bushmaster

LOL. Yup. Added later as a middle finger to the communists.

i dont have one or have a need for one. i can see why a woman staying by herself would need one though.

I have a 22 caliber Ruger handgun. That's all I need for home defense.

I have a whole safe full (about a dozen rifles and a dozen pistols) that I inherited. Maybe someday I will learn how to use them.

god damn rednecks... unbelievable. You'll be on FBI top 10 wanted in no time

Yes, too many to list here. If you think of it, I probably owned it at one point or another. Here are my most recent acquisition:

Don't have a hunting license nor an active member of the Homeland army, So no weaponry for me.
Unless I wanna get it through the black market and risk jail time.

Two questions:

1.)How do you know most firearm owners have an "itch" to use them in real life situations?

2.)How much crime (armed) is committed by your average legal firearm owner?

I don't know the answer to question one which is why I'd never make such a claim.

You'd have been wiser to have bought a 12-gauge shotgun for home defense.

I personally have no want or need of a gun. I've lived in really good and really bad neighborhoods. I've lived in the Detroit suburbs, near downtown Indy, in the country (farm country), and in the affluent suburbs over my 36 years of existence and I've had exactly 0 home invasions. In fact, I don't even know anybody who has had a break in.
