Bought my first gun at 21. Have had a lot ever since.
Only had to defend myself once. About a year ago I was shot at in a parking lot & I fired back. I shot the driver & he survived. The passenger was killed days later for still being dumb & reckless
Bought my first gun at 16 but my Dad gave me my first gun when I was 12. The gun I bought was a Ruger 10/22 when the first year they came out, my Mom was with me and it cost $35 new, now they are over $200. That was 55 years ago. I never used that gun in self defense but one time I had to lay a 12 ga. shotgun on the roof of my car when two very large natives approached my friend on the other side of the car as one had a large knife in his hand. They were wanting a ride to a ranch and I told them we were not going that way, when they got closer to my friend and I saw the knife I laid the shotgun on the roof of the car and re-iterated we weren't going their way. They backed off and went away. Good thing they didn't stab my friend as the gun wasn't loaded. We were on a duck and grouse hunting trip at the tine.
@DeluxedEdition well if you got it registered then it's still registered to you. Even if you don't have it, if someone were to ever get caught with it someday then the police would contact you with the info & that person would be arrested for carrying a stolen handgun.
So hopefully you registered it or at least reported it stolen 👌

@DeluxedEdition Oh I remember you talking about how the cops had fun checking out your unmentionables.
@ChiefWalksWith40oz yes but you know a lot of people commit crimes and then get rid of the gun
I know someone who owned an unregistered gun and the police went to their house and they threw the gun in a lake and nobody asked any questions or gave af
It’s my fault I should have gotten a lock box for a long time something kept telling me to get one. I didn’t because I wanted to be able to whip it out quickly not fiddle with a combination because my ex would literally get drunk and break in my house without warning
He punched through my window he’s kicked in my door multiple times
He did this probably around 6 or more times I had to act fast in order to survive and I mean that we literally as I say it. He tried to beat me to death everytime he got drunk and he would break in my house without warning.
I often carry a 45 as I sometimes work in some shady areas. Forgot to mention that, and it has come in handy on two occasions as all I had to do is pull my vest open to show it.
@SW-User I leave my house unlocked all the time. I live in a small town and wouldn’t do that in the city but I am not worried about going out and being shot. Ni don’t worry about sending my kids to school snd being gunned down.
It’s not easy to get guns here. I have actually only seen 2 guns in real life.
