Do you own guns?

Nope. Never have, never will.

I don't.

I grew up in a house that hunted- my parents own many guns. I don't hunt though, so I don't feel the need for them.

Yes.

DH is a cop so yes we do.

yep have two .22 rifles and an old Thompson muzzleloader that everyone we know is too afraid to shoot it because its just been so long since its been shot---and really at this point I wouldn't let anyone who wanted to, shoot it.

living in the country on a farm its just smarter to have one, not necessarily for self protection but for things like rabid racoons, injured by a car but not dead wildlife like deer etc.and yes I can and have always called my neighbor for stuff like that but now that the 18yr old is the age he is and has had guided assistance with the guns and with others while hunting with people if he were around he would be the one take care of such things. and yes we have animal control,but they only in the past few years expanded from the city to the county(as for dogs and cats) and I can just about guarantee if you called them for a rabid raccoon in your yard they would tell you they don't do that sort of thing---they wont even come to the county to pick up stray dogs, but will take them in at the shelter if you take them in.

I have a shotgun that I inherited from my granddad, and DH has a gun he acquired for personal safety after an incident. I don't know how to use either of them, but he does.

I don't but dh does. He inherited them and they are locked away. Neither of us has had a desire to go shooting. In fact, he stopped hunting when we started dating. Nothing I said, he just lost interest.

Nope.
Not raised with them; never considered buying one. 
Don't know any hunters. 
Don't know anyone around here who has ever said they own one, although many have said they don't. (Or imply it in conversations about gun control.) 

(I've made that last statement on this board before and it was disputed by both American and international members, who claimed that most of the people I know DO own guns, but they just don't talk about it. It's very strange to have your life experiences disputed. While I admit I've been stunned by some of the gun-owner threads here, I have no reason to doubt what people report about their own lives.)

We own quite a few guns. They are all locked up and no one except DH and I know where the keys are. The boys have both been through gun safety training.

No. I was not raised with them. I will not own a gun for various reasons. I feel safer not having a gun in my home than having one. 

I don't know any hunters.  Didn't grow up that way. Being a vegan currently and for the past two years means I don't even eat meat, so that takes that equation off the table-don't need a gun to harvest vegetables.   Plan on being a vegan the rest of my life.

My dad loved to hunt and I shot a rifle at five. It knocked me on my but and that was about it for me. We had guns in racks on the wall and I was never tempted to touch one. My husband had two of his dad's guns (may or may not work- not bullets though).

I know this is a message board and somewhat anonymous, but I was raised to never let people know you own guns! I only know of family members who own them because they bring them to our family reunion and some go hunting.

I don't own any, but I'm not opposed to responsible people owning guns.

Not by choice. My FIL gifted one to my dh even though I am staunchly anti-gun. It's locked in a safe with no ammo. I'd love to make it disappear.

It really pissed me off when he gave it to him. I've always been very open about my opinion on this. He knew I won't let my kids go to houses with guns including my sister's house.

I'm in the "never have never will" camp.

Up until recently I would have said I didn't know anyone who owns a gun, but I found out that a friend of ours has a shotgun that he uses to shoot rabbits and foxes and other non-native animals at the vineyard where he works.
