Regarding gun as a necessity, before i dont believe normal citizens need it. I dont own a gun. Pero a few months ago, my former colleague got kidnapped, robbed and murdered. The money they took is not really that large, probably not more than 100k in atm. Last week, it happened again to my friend's colleague.

The thing is, this does not happen at a regular basis before. I felt secured before knowing that these things does not really happen within my circle of peers or profession as an IT professional. But now, I don't feel safe.

So yes, legally acquired and registered guns are a necessity in today's society for self defense.

sa panahon ngayon siguro.... if the government cannot enforce the laws properly... ordinary citizens will need to defend themselves somehow. kahit na pang-home defense man lang...

btw off topic question lang... anybody here na may alam kung saan nakakabili ng parts ng hatsan air rifles??? nawala yun rearsight. having a hard time shooting without it.

Homicide, Rape, and Robbery counts only 179 for the US, and 470.4 for the UK (England, Wales, North Ireland, Scotland) per 100,000 population

That reminds me. The sheriff's department of my hometown in Nevada (where I keep my guns) called me and asked jokingly when I'm going to pick up my guns.

They've been sitting in the armory there since 2003. I didn't want to leave them at my uncle's house because my nephews might fire them and break them. Or, they may simply disappear.

The wife doesn't want guns at home, period. I'm not worried because we have a quiet neighborhood and everybody else are heavily armed. We also have one cop who lives a few houses down and a cop station a few hundred feet away.

Any good gunsmith can fabricate one for you as long as you know the stock height, problem is its a pain to zero a fixed sight.

I've only bought one gun in my life: a Savage .22 rifle.

The rest (Remington 12-gauge, .45 mini Desert Eagle, folding Ruger Mini-14) were given by my uncle. It wouldn't look proper if I sold my guns.

Besides, I didn't know my wife was afraid of guns until she actually saw them. Before her, I had my ex-fiancee (Caucasian) back in Oklahoma. She loved V8 cars and she loved guns. If I had married her instead, I'd have an arsenal at home and I'd be driving a Charger R/T.

But, I can't really dwell on what might have been.

Noob Questions lang po sa mga Professionals natin..

1. Paano ba gagawin sakaling hindi mo natapos yung processing ng renewal ng Firearms mo sa expiry date nya? Delikado ba ito?

Natanong ko lang, kasi yung pinsan ko hindi nya natapos yung process kaya ang ginawa nya ibinigay ata muna sa pulis yung Baril nya(surrender).. Pwede ba yun.

2. Pwede pa din ba ituloy pagprocess ng renewal kahit nag-expire

Nagbabalak or interesado na din kasi ako magkaroon ng isa lalo ngaun parang hindi ata bumubuti kalagayan natin.. Talamak ang mga magnanakaw at pumapatay ngaun..

Salamat sa lahat ng sasagot..
