What kind of gun owner are you?

[gaseousclay]

I wanted to post another poll just to see where a lot of us stand in the gun owning spectrum.

 

[Sparks1957]

All of the above doesn't work, since a couple of choices are mutually exclusive.

At least a couple apply to me, but I couldn't answer the poll in a way to reflect that, sorry.

 

[hogdogs]

I do not fit the "collector.. don't shoot..."

[Kreyzhorse]

That whole "collector but don't shoot" thing pretty much rules "all of the above" out for most of us.

 

[rgrundy]

Everything but the "collector but don't shoot" one.

 

[Brian Pfleuger]

I fixed the poll so the "all of the above" choice makes sense.

 

[ROGER4314]

I shoot strictly for fun but also have a CHL and I'm prepared to defend myself and my home with firearms.

I am definitely an enthusiast. I love to shoot, though I don't get to do it often.

I have never hunted, though I would like to someday.

HD is something that's not entirely off my mind. My wife and I have a plan in case of home invasion while we are home, which includes me getting the Mossy 500 from the closet safe in our room and loading it while my wife secures the baby. We then close off the "bedrooms" half of the house and I wait by the door and threaten as necessary.

Mostly though, I shoot .22, for cost and because honestly I like to see glass/clays/jars explode.

What he said.

 

[sigcurious]

I picked enthusiast, because the all of the above option did not suit me, I don't hunt(wish I did!).

 

[CWKahrFan]

I need an "all of the above except #1"

... and HD is there... OK... but no mention of CC?...

I'm not being negative, just pointing out some gaps in the survey...

 

[InigoMontoya]

All of the above, INCLUDING #2.

Even the "collector, don't shoot" applies in that there are a few guns that I own that I purchased just because I liked them, have never shot them, and have no intentions of ever shooting them (example: 1936 Mauser P08). In the same breath, however, I hunt, target shoot, etc.

 

[raimius]

enthusiast/SD/training

 

[LockedBreech]

All of the above, including #2.

I enjoy shooting, but I probably enjoy collecting a tiny smidge more.

 

[Onward Allusion]

These two...

I'm a gun enthusiast and like to shoot for fun
I use guns for HD (home defense)

I don't hunt with firearms (prefer bow - in fact I'm more accurate with a bow at 30 yards than I am with a handgun) nor do I consider myself a collector.

 

[LeadFistExpress]

I am an enthusiast and I carry and use my pistols for home/self defense. I am not much for hunting and I am definitely not a collector.

 

[freebird72]

I do all the above, however, I find the hunt for the gun(collecting) is the most fun part. I enjoy hunting, but something about hunting for that one gun you just have to have is so exciting.

 

[spacecoast]

3 and 4

 

[4runnerman]

Other here. Don't hunt anymore,sold the 30-06 and now i just buy target rifles.
Much to heavy to walk around with.

 

[FJ4ZROX]

Other here...don't hunt, but own some as collector pieces that I don't shoot, enjoy shooting and go often with the other weapons I own, and also use my weapons for HD/SD.
