I think he'd enjoy plunking soda cans with a .22, but I don't think he'd carry a Glock .45 for personal protection.

He carried a whip into the Temple to drive out the moneychangers. John 2:15
And he told the disciples to buy a defensive weapon. Luke 22:36
While Christ wouldn't have needed a firearm because if He would have wanted to protect Himself from execution He could have called the Hevenly Host, but that wasn't His objective.

No one can know for sure. Here is the criteria that I think Jesus would use to determine if he would own a gun or not: If we needed him to own a gun so that we could know the father's love he would own a gun. The only reason Jesus came was to save us. Everything he did was focused on that goal.

With legions of angels to protect Him from tripping over a stone, why would He need a firearm?

good question ... and will probably bring lots of answers ... and yes he said 'turn the other cheek' but he also didn't say be stupid and die for no reason ... if he'd lived in this day and age ... yeah ... I think he would of owned at least something to keep in his house ... and like so and so above ... I think he would enjoy shooting up some pop cans and watching them fly :)

Think about it?
There were weapons then, and He didn't use one.
So no, He wouldn't own a firearm.

Yes, he could use it to get food. (they didn't have 7-11s then)
He would use it to kill wolves ( he believed in protecting his flocks)
He would use it for self defense. He told the disciples when they were fearful to sell their cloaks and buy a sword.
Would he use it to do drive bys? Certainly not.

Maybe. If he enjoyed hunting for his own food. Or he might have one to protect Himself. None of these is contrary to Christian beliefs.
