Re: Guns or no guns?

Even though I'm not likely to ever own or keep a gun in my home I voted yes.

I think people should be able to keep a gun if they want too.

Re: Guns or no guns?

You arnet allowed to shoot guns in my city and they were thinking about banning them once. A lot of people in my city hate guns and think that they are like evil witchcraft or somthing cause i live relly close to the woods and my one neighbor was shooting his glock and got it taking away from him cause somebody heard it and she told the police. Also if u ever watched any of those crime shows on tv a lot of the guns are blanks or movie props.

Re: Guns or no guns?

i think that every person should be required to have gun training and have to carry one. I my self have 5 or 6 rifles and a couple hand guns. as far as i stand i will die before i give up my right to have them.

Re: Guns or no guns?

It is not only right, but smart. I have family in a town in Georgia where the law on the books states that every household is required to have a gun. Crime is very low in this town, even though the regulation isn't enforced. The criminals don't know if the house they break into has a gun or doesn't.

Re: Guns or no guns?

I think that it should be mandatory for every person over 18 to carry concealed, it would drastically reduce crime

Thats Kennesaw Ga.About an hours drive from here down I-75.

I'm like James.I think that every male once they hit 18 and register for the selective service should be required by law to take and pass a firearms class.Then be required to carry on their person some type of firearm.
Yes I have guns here at home.Several shotguns,rifles,and handguns.I do carry one in my truck at all times.And if the need comes up,I dont care one lil bit to use any of them to protect my family or property.
Matter of fact,The state of Georgia says that if some one trespasses on my property,that his ass is bought and paid for.Gotta love Sonny Perdue.
