Some people own guns simply because it is a family legacy. When the parents teach and demonstrate correct gun-handling skills to their children, there is likelihood that the legacy will remain vibrant in positive way. However, some people are afraid of guns for several valid reasons.

3. Hunting

This is among the top reason why many own guns. Owning a gun for hunting is pretty common in many states. Through exposure, many hunters become accustomed to guns and often desire to own firearms for their personal use. Guns are normally necessary when it comes to hunting, but it is important that you observe safety precautions at all time.

4. Target shooting

People own guns for several reasons, and one of the most popular reason is target shooting. Just like any other hobby or activity, target shooting is a fun activity that many people enjoy.

5. For social events

Some people own guns to that they can participate in social activities like cowboy shooting, sporting clay and so forth.
