|  Quick Poll
I am writing a report in psychology and have decided to write about patriotism and how it influences behaviour. Someone I know mentioned something interesting about how people, specifically americans, who fly flags outside their homes almost always have at least one gun. I am trying to get a feel for whether or not this is true
This is not a question on gun control or anything of the sort, it is simply an investigation as to how people behave based on pride toward ones country

Yes I have a flag, and our family owns a couple of firearms for target shooting, clay pigeons, and bomb targets and such...
Interesting topic....wonder what the final results will look like.

Fly a flag but have no real guns. I own a paintball gun and an airsoft gun so I voted fly a flag but don't own any guns.

Um. Is the gun only counted if it is used as self protection, or does it count for hunting as well?

nope, just whether or not you own a gun...doesn't even really matter if it's just on display or whatever, simply whether you have one...or not

I dont fly a flag, but my family and I own quite a few shotguns, and a couple of rifles, all for hunting except my 30 odd 6.

Well my step-dad has a Colt M1911 and we used to have a US flag outside before it got too tore up and needed to be taken down and be replaced (which we still have yet to do). | |
