Showing Original Post only (View all)Do you own any guns? (repost w/poll for BVAR) [View all]
I'm re-posting this at the request of Bvar (this is not my OP):I am no longer a Star Member, and can not post a poll,
so I will post an informal thread instead.
I would appreciate it if a Star member would post a simple Poll:
1)I am a Democrat who owns a single gun
2)I am a Democrat who owns several guns
3)I am a Democrat who owns NO guns
I am a Liberal Democrat who owns several long guns, and a hand gun.
I maintain them, and shoot them at least twice a year on our rural property.
I keep them all loaded, readily accessible,
but out-of sight on a wall rack in the back hallway.
(We have no children or adolescents in our home.)
I have used them to protect ourselves, our property, our stock and our pets,
and will do so again if the need arises,
though I prefer to Live Trap & Relocate.
I am not a Gun Nut, though some here would label me as one.
In 11 years at DU, I have never visited the Gun Forum and have no desire to do so.
I am one of the many, many responsible Liberal Democrats who own guns,
and will continue to do so.

+1. Family heirloom passed down to me but I've never shot it, no will I ever. No ammunition.
