There are plenty of photos around of me in competition shooting, but I do not think they would be appropriate for posting here. A firearm is no more than a tool. I wouldn’t post a photo here wearing a tool belt, either.
The trick in carrying a concealed weapon is to carry it so it is concealed. What a concept, eh? Therefore, it has never once bothered anyone I have met simply because they never knew I had it. That is just not something one should advertise. But, everyone who knows me well (including most local police) knows I legally have it and they also know my record in competition.

Posted: 4/27/2006 1:59:10 PM | LOL My picture is actually from when I was dressed up in my Cowboy Action Shooting Society fancy dress duds...(No guns on though).. We get together, try to recreate the 1800's cowboy era and shoot guns of the period. The guns I shoot are basically Civil War Era Reproduction guns. I also have done Buckskinning (Mountain Man Era) and have Single Shot Muzzle loaders. Basically both are "Living History" hobbies. For me, its a relaxing hobby... Most people who do not like guns, do not understand them and are afraid of them. Just like any tool, they can be used for good and for bad... (Oh ask people from Austrailia about the sword ban over there...or the people in Britain where they wanted to ban all kitchen knives... Anything can be used as a weapon...)... I am also in the SCA and shoot a crossbow and a Long bow and own a ton of swords and knives....
I am trying to collect guns from each of the conflicts that the U.S. has been in. I enjoy collecting. I have gone hunting but 99.9 times when I have seen something to shoot I just stand there and watch it rather than shoot it...
I love it when a woman enjoys shooting. In CASS there are many women who dress up and shoot and the national champion is a 15 yr old girl (Holy Terror is her nickname)...

I gotta ask though, is there a single woman out there who can give a specific legit REASON for their anti-gun opinion? All I hear is "I hate guns and I hate any man who has anything to do with them and they're evil and stupid and I hate them."
Then it's "unless they're cops." Lawdy me, stick a badge on someone and they suddenly become ranked amongst the only rational humans on the planet. No badge= no brains, no ethics, psycho? Badge = kindhearted, gentle nurturer?
How is it that guns have the image of being something solely created in Satan's laboratory, radiating evil and infecting all those who touch or even like such a thing?
(Unless they are cops, who must be immune, and can turn the instruments of Satan into tools to warm the hearts of the world.)
And what's with the hatred of hunters? Is it because you love animals? So it's ok if an animal spends it's life in a cage with it's legs pinned back getting pumped full of injections, because it gets mechanically slaughtered?

DUDE... I'm not a hunter, but not a hater either. I've had to sell my Beretta; I'm sane and kind now and was exactly the same when I owned it. I'm not evil, in spite of the fact that I can explain the difference between a semi-automatic and a revolver. If you ladies like men at least partially for the "he can protect me" feeling, did it ever occur to you that an armed boyfriend can do better than an unarmed one? Did it ever occur to any of you that you may be less likely to suffer under an abusive man if there are guns in the home and he knows that YOU know how to use them?
I've had to use a gun for protection, so far fortunately only against dangerous creatures such as moccasins and copperheads. On rare occation, I consider an afternoon at the shooting range good entertainment. And I can assure you that if you learn about something (including guns), and get some first-hand experience, then it becomes not scary at all.
So again, I repeat the question: can any of you gun-freaking-out-over ladies support your prejudice with anything even the least bit substantial? | |

You like them... Some of us don't. How's that for substantial? | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 9:49:35 PM | Living in Wisconsin it seems every man is an avid hunter. I personally hate guns!! Not that I wouldn't date a hunter, it's just that I won't allow them in my house. When I see men holding guns on their profile pictures, I think they are lacking in testosterone so they need to make up for it in showing themselves holding that big 'ol gun. My ex sent a play gun home with my son after a weekend visit and I smashed it. A little crazy maybe but my son realized that I will never allow him to bring a gun into our house with the exception of a water gun. Just my opinion, that's all | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 9:56:27 PM | | a picture is a representation that a person wants to give another....that being said then one would conclude that another would not respond to that which is not attractive to the character they seek.....guidance in regard to children...moderation | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 10:23:00 PM | | whewwww...guess they have a point..lol..kidding...the jurisdiction on guns has to have a solid reasoning and control.....canada will always have guns..too many ranchers, farmers, and hunters here..who by the way are well into animal, land preservation and a respect of wildlife...not to say a good shoot up now and then : ) | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 10:23:18 PM | Well if you live out in the sticks and you're afraid of a raccoon breaking in and stealing your winter supply, then sure... have a gun.
I'm not saying that Canada is crime-free because it most certainly isn't. But just because it states that "we have the right to bare arms" does not mean that we need to. Period.
There's already a serious enough problem in this country with gun violence. Knocking us for not being a bunch of psycho, gun-toting Charlton Hestons is just ignorant. | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 10:31:28 PM | The Only way I am Attracted to a man holding a gun is if its legal and he is in Uniform ( Cop ~ Military ~ Detective ~) Otherwise no .. and its NOT the gun Im interested in... Personally I think Bragging or showing off that you have a gun is so immature unless you have Earned that right to own/Carry one  | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 6:14:43 AM | | I have no problem with guys who own guns. Living in small town America as i do,,,its not unusual for a man or a woman to own one. Lots of hunting around here and conservation clubs. I dont own a gun myself but used to go out and target practice with my brother quit a bit. | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 10:23:53 PM | I don't need a gun, I can shoot my mouth off faster than anyone can pull a trigger, most of the time i even make sense.
I'm all for the right to bare arms but haven't "yet" felt the need to carry a piece, but if that time comes it will be the biggest one I can carry while still being concealed. If your going to carry a gun it might as well be the biggest one on the block. | |

Posted: 4/29/2006 6:16:04 AM | I come from a family of guns...parents are cops...cousins, aunts etc in navy/army/airforce so guns dont scare me but they don't turn me on either......
I know how to use guns because I have a respect for them but I view them as a protective means not something a man should measure his manhood by.....
If it's a hunting pic...cool.....if he is a man in blue....cool but if he is some dumb ass thug who thinks that a gun is gonna make him a bonafide playa or whatever then that's not sexy it's just plain ass stupid and he is obviously overcompensaing for a lack of something....
In Canada we dont have the right to bare arms and I like it that way...too many lil dumb asses running around shooting each other.....some of them so dumb they prolly cant even spell the word GUN!
It just scares me that in today's society, it is easier to get a gun than it is to sign up for a library card....do you know the hassles it takes to get a card to borrow some books....I bet you if I went to a certain part of town and dropped a hint here and there I could have a gun in under two hours....sad...sad....sad....
Ok I'm done ranting......lol | |

When a government eliminates the "choice" of a free people to own a firearm, they inherently eliminate the "right" is the people to remain free.
I bet you if I went to a certain part of town and dropped a hint here and there I could have a gun in under two hours.
It is sad. Even sadder when one considers that the honest people are unable (even if they choose to do so) to defend themselves against those lil hoodlums.
I won't say if I own a firearm or not. The point is that I might. Every crook in America knows that I might be armed.
In my opinion, a person who feels that it is necessary to display their firearms is immature and childish. | |

Posted: 4/29/2006 1:41:45 PM | | Well, if i saw a guy's profile where he held a gun, i wouldn't be that interested in e-mailing him, but if i know a guy who owns a gun and knows how to use it, it'll be ok with me, i might be interested, wouldn't want him to use it though, just for security. | |

Posted: 4/29/2006 2:17:45 PM | | This was interesting. I wonder if geography plays a part in the responses here. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't own at least one gun. Displaying them in a profile borders on the edge of ridiculous, but where I live, we all own guns. Trap shooting is a huge sport here, and hunting is still widely accepted. Concealed weapon permits are very common here. I googled before I posted here, and I was actually amazed, in the past 3 years, there have been 2 accidental gun deaths and 15 murders involving guns. 4 of those were police officer involved shootings, all 4 were cleared of wrong doing (what can I say, it's Idaho ~ those good ole' boys stick together!!) | |
