Do you own a gun?  No, I own several.  For what purpose? For every legal purpose that one would own a firearm. Where did you get it?  I've purchased guns at shows, over the internet, from individuals, and from dealers.  If you have it for protection do you keep it at your bedside, or locked in a safe?  Both.   Have you ever pulled it out?  No.  Have you ever fired it?  Many, many times.  If you have kids, what do you tell them about your gun?  I have nieces and nephews ranging in age from 6 to 20. I tell them to not jerk the trigger, to pull through smoothly.
