Millions of law abiding citizens buy, trade and sell guns at places like gun shows or with licensed dealers. Millions of firearm enthusiasts own dozens or even hundreds of various pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns.
Several years ago I was working in Rural Texas at an event on a ranch. The owner of this 1500 acre ranch had a rule for anyone who wanted to roam the walking paths around the home near or after dusk. "Each groups much have at least one adult in the group and at least one adult must be armed." As a 1500 acre ranch, there is a lot of wild live including rattlesnakes and bobcats. This man had several gun safes with at least 10 shotguns and 6-8 pistols, plus several other guns for him to loan adults who wanted to enjoy the scenery, safely. Lots of deer type animals and wild goats and pigs are all safe, just yell at them or clap loudly and they move along, but bobcats and snakes are dangerous, hence the firearm rule.
I wonder how many firearms this man owned that were for his personal use and now tools for ranch use and guests ?
Bobcats and rattlesnakes… :facepalm:
- Bobcats are extremely afraid of humans and easily scared off in the highly unlikely chance of encountering one.
- If you can see any snake you can avoid it; if you can’t see it a gun isn’t going to help you (and how many could actually hit a snake firing a handgun at it?).
When you love guns, anything is a target.
So guests on the ranch can trust you and ignore the life long rancher and his property and experience?
