This is NOT a debate thread. Just trying to see who owns guns, and where they live (roughly). Wait for the poll!

No money for them. They're not exactly cheap around here. :/

Nice poll. Maybe instead of it oozing with obnoxious bias, though, you could have just put a 'Guns aren't legal here, but I don't feel a need to own one' option up?

I marked "between one and ten," which is accurate.

I own one gun. I keep it just in case a criminal might be wandering through the neighborhood and decide to try and help himself to my belongings or any of my neighbors.

I live in Texas and have held a license to carry a concealed handgun for 5 years.
Why do I feel like I need to be armed with a handgun? Because the idea of killing someone bothers me almost as much as the idea of someone killing me or my family members. I'll live to regret killing the other guy.
Folks can argue philosophy all day long, until (of course) a bad guy kills them. If you don't think law-abiding folk should be able have a license to carry concealed handguns, just let me know so I'll know not to answer your cry for help.

Seconded.
i want to choose "guns are not legal here and i dont own one" and "i hate guns"
but the first doesnt exist

I'm not afraid of guns.
Just crazy people who have them.

Guns are legal here, but I don't own one. This is because I do not really feel the need for one and have never been properly trained in their use. While I may eventually own a gun, I will not buy one until I am propertly trained in gun use, safety, etc.

Something is lacking...
Don't you think you should have added more options, such as "I'm a walking target for rapists, muslims and hippies because I don't own a gun" or "I own between 100 and 1000 guns" ?

Christ, how did I miss the absence of that option. Come on, Whispering Legs, you can do better than this.

Guns are legal here (Alaska), and I would buy one, but that's a couple of hundred dollars that I can't afford right now.

How about 'some guns are legal here, and I do/do not own one' or 'guns are legal here, I do not own one'?

How about :I don't own a gun.
You want us to pick the I hate guns. I'm disappointed with you WL.

maybe instead of you oozing with obnoxious bias, you could start your own poll on something you're interested in.
