SoulSearch_CO Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Chicago is an amazing city. I wish I still lived there. I made the mistake of moving to Floriduh. Oh, yeah - I have nothing against Chicago. It was the combination of "I own guns" and "I'm from Chicago" that caught me up. LOL Guns+Chicago=Illegal. But anyway - I'm going to Chicago this weekend and SO excited. That's the only reason I know about guns being illegal there. LMAO
itgirlragdoll Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I have never liked guns; they always scared the crap out of me. My current boyfriend told me he had one the first time I was at his place, so that if I came across it to "not be alarmed" as it was unloaded and locked. Still, I have to admit, it really creeped me out. We've been together for over a year now and I now know how to shoot it. It's really just for target practice in most cases and he doesn't carry it around with him. I also was very shocked when he told me because he is another example of a college-educated, liberal, suburban, progressive-thinking individual who happens to own a gun. I previously felt the same way, that owning guns was for psychos and rednecks, but I guess some people just have a genuine interest in them.
Lostgurl Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 What does he use it for? Do you live in a city? From where I come from, guns are pretty much a given. It wouldn't scare me a bit. My brothers have guns, my Dad has alot of them. But they are for hunting purposes.

Well, a big city is where you need it the most, and ironically is also the place where you would find them most likely to be banned.

LMAO Guns are not illegal in Cook County if you have a Firearms Owners Id card and register your weapon with the state.
Author alclarkey Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 No. Unless he's crazy. What if he's crazy in love?
xBellax Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 it would creep me out unless he has one for a legit reason like, he's a cop or he lives on a farm etc
MeMyself&I Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 If owning a handgun creeped me out, I couldn't date half of the people in Northern Idaho, Eastern WA and Montana. So not sure where you are from but no, it doesn't creep me out.
