Why we really own guns

[Alan]

Yeah hunting. Yeah home protection. But also I just think guns are cool and shooting is fun. That's valid too. We don't need some deep reason every time., sometimes the answer is just "because I want to."

Sometimes it's just fun to shoot. You don't always need some deep reason for a hobby. Just liking it is good enough.

Yes hunting, yes protection, and yes FUN. Also pest control (we raised sheep and currently have 20 chickens). I have a .30 cal PCP with range-finding night optics and there is no sport involved in dispatching vermin. A couple flintlocks I own are just because I wanted to see if I could have met that challenge (they work for hunting just fine). And some surplus centerfires for heavy-duty plinking and one of those, a Finnish M39, I harvested two whitetail deer with. Something about plinking with full battle rounds is very satisfying.

And should SHTF a 10 round .303 Brit No4 Mk2 with two bandoleers of ammo might not be unwelcome.
