We had a request to post a gun thread to share what various members own because some people have and enjoy them. Since gun, religion, and political threads usually go off the rails quickly, be aware that ANY of those posts WILL be deleted on sight. Don't care how little of the post is a violation, the entire post will be deleted because we moderators aren't going to spend our time parsing your precious words one way or the other. This goes for BOTH sides; those going on about how having guns is bad, owners licensed, yada, yada, on one hand - OR the "God, guts & 'Murica gave us the 2nd Amendment" on the other.
Again, this thread is NOT about YOUR view on the subject. Opinions are like butt-holes in we all have one and nobody else really needs to know about yours. Yes, this is intentionally blunt.
This thread is for those wanting to want to share what you have and what you do with it. Want to show your custom Kimber, icky beater Ithaca, most comfy holster, debate who makes the best 45/9/10/etc, photo of your kid with his 16 point buck next to your little doe, tree stands, 1,000 yard paper targets? Share where a meet or some activity is going to be held? Results of your last IDPA meet? (Be careful that some shooters do not want their faces shown. I used to compete with a very pretty FBI agent who did not.) Knives and other LEGAL weapons too. Go for it.
This is a trial so tread carefully in what you post to keep this thread from being deleted.
June 27, 2020 ADDITION:
A couple of people have asked about why have this thread in a motorcycle forum, Freedom of speech (1st Amendment) in the thread by not allowing discussion of 2nd Amendment issues, and a member just quit because of feeling that deleting his post was 1A censorship. So a few notes:
Regarding Freedom of Speech, the forum is privately owned and you agreed to forum rules when you signed on so just like entering somebody's house, you agreed to the house rules. While we try to be as open as possible around here, we technically could put any limits on speech that seem necessary. The limits for this thread are clearly stated in the first post.
The thread is here because a member asked for one, and it is really as simple as that. He could have started it himself but wisely recognized how fast this could go off the rails and asked in a pm to discuss how we could do this. While we are indeed a motorcycle forum we do have the Lounge for stuff like this and in The Lounge are all sorts of threads about Food Porn, Random Rants, somebody's 40th Wedding Anniversary, and all sorts of other stuff not really related to motorcycles. And we clearly have a number of members carrying in places where that is legal, so this fits in this sub-forum.
Regarding why this thread is going to instantly delete opinion posts, I've seen an entire gun forum implode on 2A rights and threads get locked over on ADV. But the one gun thread which did work for those wanting to discuss their guns is also on ADVRider and this thread was intentionally set up similar to to the first post in that one. That thread is now at 2,214 pages illustrating that a thread for gun owners can be successful.

If you don't like the topic, please simply pass this thread by and don't aggravate yourself or others. The bottom line is to play well with others, as AvGeek wrote in 2014:
