Yes. Some recovered memories from my days with the sadistic abusers, but I know for SURE I went to the range when I went through the Community Police Academy and had to over come great fear, but I did fire a revolver and I still have the paper target. I hung it in my garage, thinking.. hey, maybe someone coming through the garage thinking to break into my condo might see that and think I might have a gun. I don't and I never will.

After my parents died, we found that Dad had his loaded (one bullet) service revolver in a dresser drawer (I know he and mom had considered the possibility that she might ask him to overdose her..they had the means to do that and the instructions and that they'd talked about how he'd want to do himself in if it came to that.. thankfully it didn't come to that). My brother and I looked at each other. He gingerly removed the one round from the chamber and said he wanted to keep the gun, since it was Dad's. Fine with me. Later I found a whole box of ammo in the garage and I took that to the Newport Beach PD and turned it in. Like Clutterfree, I didn't want to touch it and had my brother not chosen to take it, it also would have been turned in to the PD.

I did a 3 year stint in the Armed Forces Communications Reserves. I have fired rifles, semi-automatics and fully-automatics, as well as pistols. I even once got to throw a grenade. All of this was done in training and never in a war zone. I am no longer in the military, and my views of the world are vastly different from what they once were. Guns are not allowed at our house.

Yes. I've been around guns all my life. Mostly hunting guns. I have also owned an AK47 (which I transfered to my ex in the divorce agreement). I keep a loaded 22 in my nightstand. Needless to say, there are never any youngsters in my house to worry about.

Footnote: when I was a small toddler, I found my dad's unloaded pistol and then found the bullets in another location and proceeded to put them in backwards. My mom almost had a heart attack when she saw it. It was then locked away. I started young and thank goodness it didn't end in tragedy.

Just call me "Ms Rambo" LOL

Yes, my dad thought it was imperative for us girls to know how to handle a gun in case we needed to defend ourselves.

No. I don't approve of firearms and never will for any reason.

No. I doubt if I'd ever own one as well. However, since terrorism has become part of our reality, there could come a time when I might change my mind.

No. Guns terrify me. Hope I never have to see one, let alone touch one.

Now ask me how I really feel

I'm wondering how the answers run along Canadian/American lines...it appears that most Canadians have never touched one and have no desire (myself included) with some Americans voicing the same sentiment. :-)

Yup. Most valuable markswoman in my junior year of high school on the varsity rifle team (we shot 22's, prone and kneeling, at little bitty targets). Also shot clay pigeons for fun with a 20 gauge shot gun (I have skinny wimpy arms). Used to drive my ex crazy that I could outshoot him.

No I haven't, though I have been around them all my life. My father was a career policeman.
