No, I don't and don't plan to. No, not right now, but I'm considering getting one No, I have in the past though. Yes, a single gun. Yes, a couple of guns. Yes, 3-5 guns. Yes, a half dozen or more.
I don't own guns but my husband does. One handgun, which is not stored here, and two or three guns for hunting. They are either rifles or shot guns. Something like that. I know one is called a muzzle loader but it looks just like the other long guns.
ETA: The hunting guns are stored in a safe in a secured area of the house. No one, including me, would ever just accidentally run into one of his guns. The only time he brings them out is during the season.
I personally do not own any guns and never will.
DH wanted to get a CCW Permit (carry concealed weapon) and I told him that he'd have to find a new wife if he did that. It's a dealbreaker.
I know he carries his handgun when he's hunting (because of bears) but I don't consider that the same thing as carrying all the time.

I'm sorry. I'm not meaning to scare anyone. I'm just curious.
I watched some snippet earlier with Gabby Gifford and her husband and he said they owned guns and were strong believers in the 2nd Amendment. It gave me pause.
We don't but my dad does (he's a cop) & I grew up around them. I don't have a problem with guns and wouldn't have a problem having them in the house so long as they were properly stored/protected/taken care of.
I don't, but I'm not opposed to them for other people. I was taught in self defence to never use a weapon that you can't have turned against you. I do have weapons in my house, though.

I've never once considered getting a gun unless it was some beautiful antique lady pearl-handled gun, but only because they are really neat looking and I could tuck it into my bosom. Unloaded, of course.
H and I have a Springfield 9mm for home defense and when we go out he carries it. I carry a Walther P22. H also bought a Ruger 1022 just to take to the range. I'm looking to buy a Kimber 1911, but I'm not sold on it yet.
We're a member of a local gun range and go once a week or two to practice.
We meet at the range with some friends who own a wide array of guns and sometimes we shoot his AR-15. It is fun to shoot at the range, but I honestly don't think there's a good reason to have one.
Thank you. Another check in the crazy column on my spreadsheet.
You don't have an option for: "If I ever buy one, send me for brain tumor / early onset alzheimers evaluation because I've had a drastic personality change"
I took a gun self-defense class a looong while ago. Basically how to handle and shoot different types of handguns, learning the basic laws & rules of safety.
I kind of took it on a whim, and I don't remember much now, unfortunately. I'd never touched a gun before and haven't since, but I enjoyed the target shooting and I'm actually a pretty good shot.
I could see taking up target shooting as a hobby someday, maybe in retirement. Not while my kids are young, or possibly not even while they're in the house.

We don't have guns and don't plan on owning them.
I grew up with a cop and even then we didn't have them in the house. I have thought about getting a taser gun because I think it's a good option, but we'll see.
