What the hey, I might as well offer my opinions here. It's already been mentioned that this is one of those subjects that people will never agree on. But that's OK, this is the lounge where all manner of things are discussed. If only motorcycles were allowed to be discussed, we wouldn't even need this forum. The other forums on the site cover about every aspect of the bikes. Every community has members with vastly differing opinions on about everything. This is really an international gathering place for men and women with a common interest. So open a brew, pour a shot or get a cuppa Joe, and speak up. Respect the rights of others to have an opinion that conflicts with yours, even if they disagree with your most dearly held convictions. But keep it civil, or else the bouncer may have to unsheathe his hammer.
Oh yeah, I own handguns, shotguns and rifles. They're all locked in a safe, unless I take them out for use. Nevada has CCW permits available with just a background check and qualification test, but I've never felt the need to get one.
