Gun ownership is very restricted where I live so no, but if I lived in the states and had easier access I would most likely own a gun or two.

Top picks for ownership would be: Desert Eagle .50 AE, Remington Model 700, Karabiner 98k, AK-47... Mostly the guns I've enjoyed using in video games.

the desert eagle is fun for the attention it gets, but isn't practical in any sense. I've owned a couple, but sold the last one during COVID for extra cash. At that time 50AE ammo was close to $5 a shot, so yeah. It's also heavy as hell, complex, finicky, requires big hands and the slide moves so much you actually SEE it coming towards your face when you fire. It's a horrible gun.

I really need to get another one...
 
I want a 50 cal so bad!

I haven’t counted but I own somewhere around 60 rifles. Maybe 8 pistols. Most of the rifles are 22LR. I’m a sucker for a good 22 rifle. Most of the others are various bolt action rifles common for deer hunting or varmints. A few AR-15’s. Couple AK’s. And 1 50BMG Barrett. That’s the one we bring out when we have a friend over to shoot. I love the reactions the first time someone fires that big ole 50 cal. That alone is worth the $5 per shot it costs.

Cool, I want a 50 cal!

It probably was a bad buy. They are very expensive. I have 8k in the rifle, a few magazines and a nice scope. But they do hold their value.

Yeah, I know that's the reason I don't have one! I don't even know how many guns I have I have so many and I don't want to know how much I have spent on them and ammo over the years! I know I could easily buy a new house though with the money! I have 3 gun safes and need another! I'm really surprised I'm not on some FBI watch list just from ammo deliveries alone!
 
Yeah, I have guns I bought and have never shot, too. :( I used to be a right-wing nut job big time, and when Obama got elected the second time I spent so much money on ammo alone, it was fucking nuts. Lol. And I even reload my 9mm and 45. I had a considerable motorcycle crash in 2014 and fucked my body up big time, and since then, my priorities have changed big time. Lol

Personally, I think a small set of fairly common-caliber firearms is good, and then it all goes to ammo. There's no such thing as too much ammo. ? Well, unless you're on-the-move, I guess. Besides, in a time when we would need our ammo for anything other than hunting, range-shooting and/or training, it will be tradable like money/currency. ? Technically it already is at the pawn or gun shop.
 
Canadian here currently with 2 .22 lr rifles one is a rossi rs 22 and the other is a lakefield 64b from like 40 years ago, type 56 carbine (Chinese sks), good old charls daly 12g pump. Had a black powder 50 cal at one point but was hard to find powder here. Before the fun ones got banned I owned a norinco m14s and a mossberg 930, I miss those heh, they were fun.
I love guns so feel free to pm if you wanna chat ^-^
 
Northern European here, I don't own any firearms yet, but I do plan on getting a gun license in the near-ish future.
 
In my country everything is sh.... i can not have a gun ... or a knife ... or something... here in my fu... country only criminals can do what they wantet. In future hunter and sport shooters will be disarmed to! If you say something against politics here its easy that you must give up all privilegs and go to jail but here in my fu... country you can kill and rape wi no bad things happen. If there is a pol wörst not 3 worls country ( at least not yet ) my is the number 1 :(

I'm an American but I do not own any firearms. That will probably change in the future. I plan to eventually get a 9mm handgun or a .22 handgun with hallow pointed bullets. I mainly plan on getting one for protection. Although dogs do make good protection as it stands.

Edit: I now own a 9mm pistol as of last month.

Open cary in my state, I can and have gone to Walmart fully geared out

Some pansy will say something now days.

This doesnt happen anymore sadly, but I've bought and still own a few dozen long guns that I purchased from Craigslist.

Back in the day, knowing what search terms to use, and what areas to look in, it was easy to buy, trade, or sell what you wanted on CL.

It still happens if you know how to find a listing, but its a golden snitch at this point

I was shot years ago, when I was a witness in a serious crime, and they decided it would be convenient if i was to busy being dead, to be able to testify to their criminal activities. Fortunately it takes more than one bullet to stop me, I drove myself to the hospital, i testified, and when the discussion came up about possible witness protection, I told them I didn't need it, because if they came at me again I would take the first shot. I went out and got a 100 round C mag for my AR, and kept it loaded until it was all over. Thankfully he remained locked up after that, no bail, and I guess he didn't have any friends willing to come after me on his behalf. I still remain armed at pretty much all times now though, because some day he will get out, and if he decides to come visit me, he won't get a warning shot.

Cancel culture tried to cancel me, it did not work! And guess where this guy who did this was from? You guessed it, California....

Remember, switching to your secondary is quicker than reloading.

Not if you speed load, but you have to be well practiced, and it takes a lot of experience to do it properly. Essentially, you keep count of your rounds, say you have a 15 round mag, when you fire the 14th round, meaning the 15th is now in the chamber, you automatically drop the mag, and load the new mag without taking your aim off the target, many military operators are good at this. If you practice a lot, you can sustain fire without a noticeable delay as you reload. it just takes practice.

this is true as well. I used to practice reloading my pistol one handed. like if I couldnt use my left or right arm for some reason. fastest time I got I was able to open the slide insert mag and chamber. 7 and a half seconds. ive never been shot, but I have been shot at. more than once.
