What type of gun do you own? Having gone through the police academy years ago I started out with a blue steele .38 special revolver. After the police academy I got me a .45 semi automatic. I had that one for maybe a year before selling that one to a friend entering the police academy. After I sold that .45 to him I bought me another gun from a catalog. I got me another blue steele color and it was a 9mm German Makarov pistol. It's the type the East German Secret Police used to carry on them over there.
I remember while in the police academy that our instructor was from Oakland ,California, and it used to piss him off that people would refer to rounds as bullets. He told us that rounds go into the gun and comes out as bullets. Believe it or not, a lot of people don't know this and call "rounds" bullets before the ammo is even loaded into the gun. Another thing that pissed him off was when people called the magazine (where you put all the rounds in) a clip for a semi automatic. To him a clip was something you smoked a joint with. 
So, What type of gun do you own, or would consider owning? 
Bonus question:
Do you prefer the standard silver color, or blue steel for a gun?
This is somewhat of a repost (I added a few more to this blog than what was in the original post) that I did back in Feb. 2007. Enjoy!

After what happened with Mick, I don't have any guns. What Mick had, I gave to my Dad.

I have a .40 Ruger built around a modified 1911 action that was designed for law enforcement. It's double action, has a decocker for carrying hot without the fear of blowing off your foot if something hits it (glocks and other non safety pistols are accidents waiting to happen), and the front of the slide is smooth to allow it to slide in and out of a holster easier. It is blued.
Hey... you know... us computer geeks need protection.

My current weapon of choice is a Glock .40 caliber semi-automatic. Prior to that was another .40 that was very heavy. I have had S&W Chief's Special, Ruger .357 Security Six, S&W 959 9mm and various make and models of .22 pistols. I have had the Glock for almost 2 years and keep a shell in the chamber, but in a Detention Officers class 2 holster.

Where to start?
Old man has a Sauer .32 that he inherited from his dad, who won it in a poker game in France During WWII. He also has a Lee Enfield .303, and a Mosin Nagant (sp?) from WWII. I have an AK-22 and a Hi-Point 9-mil, and the 10-year-old has a little .22 Marlin.

Heheh...while I've used quite a few I don't believe in owning handguns. I own a few replicas and that's about it.
But if this is the "what would you really wish for" kind of question, I'd want the Swamp Angel Parrott Rifle.
I could use a "noon day gun".

Two 9mm semi-auto- both registered as required, scoped .308- great for picking off terrorists but, it is one helluva loud rifle, 12ga. pump and a .22 mag rifle.

...glock40caliber semi automatic...color...doesn't make a bit of difference what color it is...my sexual orientation is just dandy too. I don't have to defend myself to know my pussy is tight...I have the right to own and am always going too. I practice regularly. 8 crimes committed against me and that's all I am going to say about that...

Your Academy Instructor should have told you, that a 'gun' is not always a pistol, revolver, or rifle.
I've seen many pushups done, by those using the term, Gun.
As for what I 'carry', it's a pre-war Walther PPK in 7.65mm that I've had for
about 30 years. Traded an Essex 1911A1 that I put together from a parts
kit for it, guy said his uncle 'liberated' the '007' from a German Officer in WWII.
90% original blue.
For my house, I keep a Mossberg 500 12 GA. 181/2 IN 3 IN double ought.
80 original blue.
To sleep well at night, I have an EAA Witness in full house 10mm 135 JHP @1500 fps. Factory new, blue, but wanted Stainless.
What I actually fire the most, is a Daisey Model 8 with subsonic .22LR
Black plastic single shot bolt.

My dad tells this story about when he was in the navy in the Pacific during WW II. Apparently, a marine mistakenly called his rifle a gun. He had to march around nude except for his boots and helmet with his rifle slung over his right shoulder and left hand holding his cock repeatedly saying, "This is my rifle. This is my gun. One is for Japs. One is for fun."
