Jewish Law and Firearm Ownership

Question: Is a Jew permitted to own firearms according to halacha? Answer: Yes, Jewish law allows owning firearms, but relying solely on them for protection is misguided. True safety comes from God and repentance. While owning a gun is technically permitted, it's not recommended for most, as genuine protection is found in studying Torah and performing mitzvot. Be cautious with firearms, especially around children, and consider moving if you feel unsafe. Remember, no weapon can defy divine will.
