Just my childhood BB rifle now - but I'm set to inherit my fathers rather large collection so I maintain a pistol permit. > How many/What kind? My dad's collection has been whittled down to just handguns as they moved around. He's got several prize pieces including a German Officers Luger brought back by my Grandfather. I believe he has less than 10 total now... but at it's largest his collection was around 30 (both rifles and pistols) although out of that only three or four were in regular use and several were small weapons bought just for us kids to use (air pistols, pellet guns, etc). > How many of you have shot a gun? (longgun, pistol) Not in years, but as a kid we belonged to a gun club and did target shooting nearly every weekend. We shot everything but did stationary targets almost exclusively. My father did skeet shooting sometimes, but I don't remember ever doing any myself. Of course that's only if you count real guns... if you throw in "Grand Theft Auto"... well, then the number would be higher. ;^) > At what age? We started shooting when we were very young... too young for me to remember. My father was a certified gun safety instructor so we had the basics pounded into us early and often. We moved out of the area when I was about 13 and lost interest in most of it (the gun club was more a social thing really). I don't think I've fired a real gun in 20 years... > How many are members of the NRA? Not me. I'm not a fan of that group in the least. > How many go to gun shows? Nope. > How many supported the Brady Bill? I did. And for what it's worth I'd support stricter legislation as well. > Do gun issues afect your politics? How much (1..10)? Not much, perhaps a 2 or a 3 (assuming lower is more apathetic). ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:159175 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
