Well, I always say if a war breaks out around here home is where I want to be. Too many to list but my favorite in a 1903 Colt .380 auto. stainless steel, hand engraved ( with a letter of Autheticity from the Nat'l engravers society) and mother of pearl grips. One sweet looking pistol. I paid $2500.00 for it about 10 years ago. I seen someone say Texas has the most guns. I would like to put Pa. up against Texas on that one. I don't know many people around here that don't have guns. Spooly, The big thing in muzzle loaders around here are the new in-line muzzle loaders. They are made by various mfgs. They now made them legal in Pa.. Not something I agree with but Oh well!!!!
It may shock some of the northern, or more liberal, or more clueless among us, but a gentleman is supposed to own at least one shotgun. It is a fact. I have shot guns, handguns, and a rifle.
Sounds nice. I like cowboy guns, and some day I'd like to get a nice hog leg/lever gun combo. I'd also like to get a Sharps .45-70. If I ever get into percussion revolvers, I think I'll go for an 1847 Walker. Perhaps I should practice on a cheap 1860 Army knock-off.
I have 2 Winchester Defenders at home and several Rifles Handguns i own a ruger GP-100 6 shot wheel gun a mans gun the gun of all guns. REAL guns only hold 6 shots

I am 52. My dad gave me my first gun, a single shot .22, at age 6. I still have it along with every gun I have ever puchased. Just counted and listed for insurance purposes last week. I have 37 shotguns, 62 rifles and 52 handguns. A minimum of 100 rounds for each. I live in SC and I hunt and target shoot. I have taught everyone in my family to shoot. My wife is an excellent shot with her .22
Rifles = 0 Shotguns = 9 Handguns = 17 Favorite: Was my 1911A1 magna-ported Colt with micro sights until I sold it. Now it's my TC 30/30 Contender, but that could change at a moments notice. Least favorite: Erma toggle-top .22, what a piece of crap. Guaranteed to stovepipe every third round.
Had a 45/70 trap door Springfield but sold it last year. That was my only rifle.
None at the moment but I will probably get a semi automatic pistol one of these days, but I'll have to find someplace where I can practice with it until I become proficient. I can do well with a rifle but I've never worked with a pistol.

Ten years ago, I was a gun NUT ( with 45 guns ). Now I am only a gun enthusiast ( only 7 left ). Yes, I am in redneck country, Houston, Texas! They call me oriental redneck.

Also, someone asked if keeping coins in ammo cans will tone them? the answer is yes it will. Is it AT? It sure was not intentional and if any really good looking ones show up we will let PCGS decide
Joe, I have a 9mm berretta with two 30 round magazines which I picked up in Florida...I know they are not legal but if there were a war to start in this country...I am ready. Just wonder if thirty rounds would heat that baby up and casue a miss fire.
Those 30 round magazines are not illegal to own in most states. I would be surprised if they were illegal to own in Florida. All pre-ban magazines were grandfathered in when the federal laws were changed.
DMWJR, I bought the magazines in Florida so I guess they dont have a law regarding them...but here in the state that I live in, 10 round is all you can get.
If the magazines were made before the ban went into effect, they can still be sold by the manufacturer under the Federal law.
PS I have a couple of 50 round clips for my Ruger 10/22. That's a box per clip. Boy is it fun to shoot! If I could figure out a way to make it fully automatic without damaging the gun or getting arrested, I would REALLY rock and roll.
Duncan, I guess if you don't have a gun, you fall into the first category, right? If that is what you meant, I agree that the thread should have been named "Morons, Guns & Americans."

Rule #1: Do not put your finger in front of the barrel because the bullets come out reeeaaaal fast.
