I don't want to own guns anymore.

Not everyone is competent to own firearms. That doesn't sound like the problem. You may not be competent to keep loaded firearms around the house, but you may be perfectly competent to enjoy recreational shooting responsibly. That doesn't require you to keep a loaded gun around.

Sell the guns or not, you need to address what makes you unsafe to have a loaded gun around.
 
do you smoke weed r something allfull jumpy.

First of all, please do us all a favor and learn how to spell and how to properly use punctuation.

Secondly, I can tell that you are entirely ignorant of how a depressant affects a person's physiology. Marijuana, like other depressants, actually has a tendency to slow down nerve impulses and thus would make a person less "jumpy," not more so.
 
it is a seriuos post.

you can take me for a liberal, you can take me for a sales pitch. i dont really care.

i don't trust MYSELF with guns, not the guns themselves.

i'l be better off without them
 
Heh. It's not April yet, so it's not that.

If you want to sell your guns, or give them away, go for it. I have no problem with you deciding you don't want guns around the house.

I have a problem with you, or government, deciding they don't want *me* to have guns around the house :)

Edit : Some (many) people are better off without guns. You made that decision. Good for you, I respect that.
 
Luckily the gun was out of reach or i would have killed two of my good friends.

So you would've opened fire without target identification? Even with a gun in hand you should identify the 'guests' before shooting.
 
Then why post this at all? :confused:


Just list them for sale in the classifieds here.

Good luck
 
It's considered unwise to stroll around inside others' houses without their prior knowledge, in Idaho.

Seriously, I have a quick-access safe for loaded handguns. Part of the reason for that is that I figure that, if I am not awake/aware enough to use the gun, it'll take me a few seconds to get it. OTOH if I hear a window being jimmied open, the gun is right where I can get it.

I also lock my doors and have two loud, excitable dogs. Nobody's coming in without me knowing about it.

Back when I had a bunch of roommates, and everyone was in and out of the house, I didn't keep a loaded gun around, for the very reason you said: if I shot someone, chances are it would be a friend, not an enemy.
 
dont get yer panties in a bunch folks.

im sure the rest of you can properly handle guns. I don't think i can.
 
Are you on medication? Are you on edge? Why do you think you can't properly handle guns? Be specific.
 
Sounds like the OP has alot of growing up to do. Everyone around him will be safer if he's unarmed while he does so.
 
You know, it's possible to own guns for something other than home defense. All my guns are locked away, unloaded. If my home was invaded, It would take about 5 minutes to have a ready to fire weapon, and that's assuming I'm in the same area of the house. I'd be using the frying pan too. Some people just like to go to the range and shoot.
 
I won't bash you if you don't feel comfortable with guns. In fact, I applaud your honesty.

But I do have a question for you:

"IF" you do sell your guns, what are you going to do the next time you leave your door unlocked and an actual threat comes in on you?

I'm just saying that you should consider all the situations before you act hastely.

Seriously though, ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOORS!
 
Well, I was suspicious of the post as a troll...but it's entirely possible that a variety of personal issues are simply manifesting.

So...good on ya, OP, for your wise decision.

Door locks are cheaper than guns.

And despite all the fearmongering, I wonder how infinitesimally small the percentage of actual "saved by my gun" events actually is compared to the number of guns here in the US. Civvies, not LEOs, military, private security, etc.

And without getting into "it" with the OP, I daresay based on just a few years of top level experience in emergency medicine--most of it in a huge urban university hospital system--there are some "clues" in the post that suggest at least the potential for having, um, incorrectly answered some of the questions on the firearms purchase questionnaire (have you ever been treated for condition xyz, have you ever used illicit drugs, etc). Doesn't suggest whatsoever any need for closer purchase scrutiny...hmmm.
 
I'm thinking that this post is disingenuous. However, on the off hand chance that it is not...

The OP is either on something or emotionally unstrung. On top of that, he is irresponsible. You can't lock your door and friends walk in and you "almost kill them." Twice even? Are you kidding me?

Do you need someone to zip you back up after you pee too?

Calm down. Grow up a bit. Learn to be responsible for yourself. Then never own another firearm. You are a liability to yourself and those around you. I wouldn't trust you with an overly heavy pillow.
