I had a few when I was in Suriname in my teens. One was a Baretta 92 that took 15 bullets of 9mm calibre. The extra rounds gave me an edge in case I had to use it in anger. But I preferred the Crossman CO2 handgun that I also owned. It used the big refill cylinder and could put a 0.22 air rifle pellet through a coconut.

yes I have fired a colt 45 and 357 special what I want to try is the desert eagle 

maybe when I visit a gun state next time, I can visit a shooting range...if the wife allows

My mother brought home hers a few times back home. I played cowboy with it for a few mins. It was not loaded. I was not allowed to go outside only in the house. I think 5 mins max i got and she took it back

Back home I found m father's gun in the closet, I took it, climbed the wall...and pointed it to the ladies gossiping in the living room

Needless to say, there was a bit of screaming...no cutass though

This could be  a setup.  Be careful what you say.

Nah but I got a rocket in my Pocket, that counts???

i avoid guns.

I am a licensed gun owner.  Though I prefer hand-to-hand combat!!!

I hope hand to hand means sanaying your dhal and rice to make your legs strong so you can run like drugb.

Shot a couple caraw in Guyana once.  Firing a gun is a beautiful feeling, especially when you see feathers flying and that bird come crashing to the ground!

I have a Crossman CO2 handgun that I bought at Canadian Tire 17 years ago. Owning it in Toronto doesn't require a license. According to the applicable law, an air pistol like my Crossman is not a firearm.

In Guyana in the early 1960s, my uncle had given me a Daisy air rifle. I used to buy 0.22 pellets, 5 for 5 cents, from a shopkeeper named Braddax at Uitvlugt, to shoot birds. After the riots, when the soldiers and police started seizing guns, I gave the air-gun back to my uncle and he buried it in his Georgetown backyard. Recently, he told me that just before he emigrated from Guyana in 1987 he unearthed the remains of the gun. The wooden stock had rotted and the metal barrel was crumbling with rust. In the 1980s and up to 1995 I used to hunt and fish with friends who were licensed owners of shotguns. We took turns to aim at wild birds and wild meat in the bush.

I understand there is a shipment of guns going to Guyana from Canada to aid criminals. Does anyone know who  is responsible for this?

Since you heard the news your PPP buddies won't be happy with you for not keeping your blasted mouth shut about their business.

Lemme quote Jalil,all you doing is D & S.

I don't have a gun. Never had one and don't care for one either. Guns are too sudden and while I hope myself or family don't never become a victim of one, I don't want to be responsible for another becoming a victim of one. Getting rid of guns may not solve all the world's violence but it will go a very far way to reducing it.

I first fired a real gun when I was a young child in the area around black water creek. As an adult I became fully aware about the importance of guns on many occasions. The NRA is valuable organization in protecting people rights.

I own a few guns. Own a 12 ga. shot gun, a long 22 rifle, a colt 44 magnum. I also own a little pellet gun that uses .177 lead bullets. My brothers own handguns and have conceal and carry permits. I want to buy a 9mm.

i made a wooden gun once and we played cowboys and Indians. I swore  shot everything that crawled with that toy gun.

The first gun I fired as a boy was an Astra semi-auto. I could not remember the caliber but I remember it making lots of noise. I have always preferred double action revolvers

I was thinking firing real guns would be like in the movies. I did not know how loud the sound of real exploding gunpowder was

That should be 0.177 caliber lead pellets, British made John Bull brand. My Crossman uses the same size pellets, Crossman brand.

The Astra semi-auto pistol uses 0.38 caliber bullets. My brother-in-law had one. Each shot fired made a loud bang, naturally. He and I did some target practice in Republic Park one day.

For my gun loving lady friends, the best nice small gun is the Baby Browning but they don't make it anymore.  It was replaced by the Lady Smith made by Smith & Wesson.  It even comes in pink casing if you request it.  It fits perfectly in your purse, with your lipstick, and that extra set of "his" car keys that he never knew you had!!

I had one. Out in Long Island, you don't need a permit to buy a long gun.

One time in Paramaribo I fired a shot gun to shoot down coconuts, as I fried the gun, it  hit my shoulder so hard and it  fell like  like four feet away from me.

That was the first and last time.

Sorry, after that I fired a licensed  pistol that our family had for the protection of our Gas Station in Guyana. 

Lee Enfield - 303

Cain, that was the rifle Guyanese policemen used during the 1960s riots. Lee Enfields were also featured in those war comic books I read as a boy. All the same, those rifles carried a big punch with long bullets. One night in 1963 at Meten-meer-zorg a policeman shot an Indian guy who refused to obey a "HALT!" order. His back got a small hole but his belly literally burst open with a big hole. That's a Lee Enfield 303 for you. I think you had a policeman frenno in GT, Cain. 

there is this one guy who tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head wid a sling shot he ended up wid a blood shot spot pon him forehead

was that Ohab gas station

I used to shoot competitive pistol and trap.  I own a 50 cal S&W plus many others pistols and shotguns.  Remember to call before you visit me before I make a mistake :-)

50 cal s&w That is a lot of power. Not alot of people I know own them I prefer the Ruger super redhawk. 44 magnum as a backup gun just as a precaution if I meet a Grizzly when I am in the wilderness but it is not a gun That I like. One gun I would like to own someday is the baby desert eagle by Israeli arms. It is a powerful beauty but has a bad kick.
