    Default Whats the Best thing you've gotten out of being a Gun owner?

    Besides the personal protection part of course.

    Mine is that once I started shooting, I asked my dad to go along with me.. Now we actually hang out and talk about guns alot.

    He's really gotten into it Plus I found out why the crap I'm so damn weird.. I got it from him! lol

    I also like the concept of taking responsibility for something.. Teaches you respect and to pay attention to detail.



    Yes I'm trying to post non-political things

    Well my friend quit smoking a less than legal substance.
    “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!” ~Samuel Adams

    A sense of responsibility.
    I was introduced to shooting when I was just a young lad. A few years later, (when I was six), I got my first .22 rifle for Christmas. (Ithaca Model 49).

    Safety and responsibility was paramount. Just about everything I've done in my life can be related to shooting and having my own gun. I always knew that if I Fü˘k up, I'm going to loose my gun.
    That's kept me in line for about 50 years and counting.
    I can thank my dad for making me proud of myself today because of the trust and responsibility he bestowed upon me so many years ago.

    I got my first gun, a single shot .22 for Christmas 1952, so never was w/o a gun. The most enjoyment has been shooting and hunting with kids and grand kids.

    Let's see, I've gotten a lot out of gun ownership. (in no particular order)

    1. education
    2. responsibility
    3. stress reliever
    4. friendship
    5. another thing my wife & I both enjoy
    6. sense of accomplishment (target shooting)
    7. fun
    8. PAFOA
    9. something to do on a rainy day
    10. protection
    11. security

    This list is not all inclusive, it's just what popped into my mind at the moment.

    In my case, it is the people that I have met and formed friendships with.

    We shooters have much more in common than just the shooting sports.
