I have thought about purchasing a gun this year for my family's safety. This year was tough so I thought about purchasing one.

When seconds count the police are only minutes away. With measure 110 taking affect we will need to add more protection for ourselves and our families.

Teresa Parsons

We already Own Guns and need to purchase another different kind.

Pamela Joe

Leslie Ann

Any true patriot that has in fact purchased a gun this past year or ever would NEVER,......NEVER divulge whether they had..........or hadn't.....That's the guess work criminals have to deal with before commiting a crime! Well Punk, do ya feel lucky? Well, do ya??!!

robert howard

Not only have I thought about it . . . I DID!!! Well, actually it was a birthday present from the wife and kids.

And will take classes and apply for conceled carry permit.

Don't forget to practice! Well, practice as much as you can spare ammo. It's also good to learn how to take it apart and clean it and how to safely clear jams and mis-fires (They don't teach that in concealed carry class).

I haven't thought about purchasing a gun. I've been home most of the time, I don't have a need for one.

I own a gun

sharder8

Why own one, when you can own two? There isn't any one firearm that does it all, so buy a second to cover more "use" bases. 😇

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
