Got Any Firearms?

[The Back 40]

I was just curious as to what type of farmers in various regions have different types of firearms.

I have a Winchester rifle, I have a personal plot for my own use and I live in the midwest.

I have a Mossberg pump shotgun and a Ruger pistol. If anyone breaks in, I just pray they'll wait for me to open the gun safe and pull out my weapons since my wife insists they stay there. I mostly just have them to shoot critters that get after my livestock and to put livestock down when they're suffering and the vet can't get out here.

Just a Smith and Wesson for me. Basic protection and target practice shooting. I like to see that my aim is still good after all these years.

I've got many, too many to list. I'm in the market for a new pistol. I have some for hunting and for personal protection. My wife has several too. Finding ammo is tough right now though.

Wow, you guys have guns? Beautiful, I have never seen one live...
I didn't expect farmers had guns, how is shooting with one of them? Anyways recently I saw an hunter looking for hogs, he had a shotgun but I didn't have the possibility to watch him close and I didn't see him in action... Damn

@vincenzosassone, you must not live in the South. I think it's a rule that you need a gun in order to live here. I seem to be the only exception.

@The Back 40, guns make me uncomfortable. It's an unpopular opinion, but I wish the AR-57 would disappear except for maybe military use.

Urban Homestead, I'm with you!!! Guns are not my thing.

I've been a hunter for years so I do have guns. I've got shotguns and pistols. I have a couple of 9mm and a 457 pistol.
I don't like AR-57 rifles either. I have no use for these.

I have no problems with people who have guns,I just don't like them myself. But I agree that automatic rifles belong in the military.

Yep. I actually come from Italy, Europe. Maybe it's strange for you have an Italian in your forum, but let me explain. Italy is ahead in comparison to the most of the countries in many aspects, but under the point of view of agriculture we are really bad. We don't have a lot of knowledge, the first sector of the national economy is low in comparison of the others,and what's more, formus aren't very present. For this reason I follow an italian forum as well as an english forum in order to have a more clear situation. Excuse me if my presence here makes you not a lot happy but this is just my hobby... Anyway, my english isn't very bad according to some natives!
I nearly forgot, here in Italy only the boar hunters have a gun...
