Bobby was in the house, and that boy ain't right.
Joseph Richardson
No, it’s because Hank can’t aim
Ayden Martinez
Probably traumatised by Cotton shooting up the living room when his football team lost or something
Henry Long
I'm pretty sure he did. Aside from the rifle episode, Bobby mentions them having a gun safe once.
Alexander Gomez
He probably did, he's just not either a hick nor a douchebag so it didn't constitute a personality trait. No one ever broke into their home so it was never needed if he had one.
Liam Lee
Correct
John Ross
Hank believes in proper home defense. Beyond that and good ol' American pastimes such as hunting, guns have no place in his life, so it never comes up.
Julian Gutierrez
He sells propane.
Cameron Peterson
This. Hank didn't have a gun of his own because Cotton's upbringing made him too nervous to aim one right. After the episode where Bobby discovers his talent for firearms, the Hills definately kept the rifles, because they have them in later episodes. Hank's more of a blunt force home defender anyway. He was going to thresh Dale up with a weed wacker, he keeps a 9 Iron behind the door to beat people who threaten him on his doorstep, and I'm pretty certain he or Peggy broke off the leg of an oak table to use as a club when their thought someone had broken in.
Jaxson Lopez
In other words, you can be a gun owner without being a gun fetishist? Makes sense. After all, notice how Hank doesn't attend Dale's gun club.
Wyatt Brown
I'm pretty sure he does own a gun, he just never brings it up. Hank is an embarrassingly bad shot due to his dad giving him some emotional hangups. Same reason he never talks about sex.
Juan Nelson
This is true
That's actually canon.
Luke Kelly
I think there was a flashback showing that Cotton used to fucking scream at him when he was teaching Hank to shoot, which put him off of gun culture.
Jose Flores
That old lady broke into their home
Also Dale tunnelled into it
Adam Cox
And the the time they thought someone broke in but it turned out to be Ladybird scared of thunder
Elijah Torres
Hank is afraid of guns
Dominic Perry
why do you ask a question that had a whole episode dedicated to, with numerous gags also answering this?
Angel Perez
It's also canon that Dale's aiming is shit
Ian Gutierrez
>Beyond that and good ol' American pastimes such as hunting
Does Hank hunt, though? As far as I recall it only came up in the episode he took Bobby hunting and he wasn't very prepared for the trip, though I know that's more because he didn't want to be around Bobby specifically, so I don't know.
Austin Walker
I'm not saying he does it often, just that said pastime is the only occasion he'd have to be using or talking about guns.
Logan Ross
He knows his nine iron is a much better defender than a gun.
Joshua Clark
5:35, they have a gun safe. Apparently Bobby is more familiar with it than Hank, as he had quicker access and seemed to know the combo for it as Hank wielded a golf club.
Isaiah Bailey
That was a fantastic scene.
Jonathan Thomas
Bobby is a better shot
William Rogers
I mean he owns a Hunting Rifle at the very least, but overall Hank seemed not a big gun guy
Jackson Hughes
The Hills own at least two rifles and a handgun.
Also Hank doesn't need a gun, he just needs his foot up your ass.
Nolan Allen
They do. Bobby's hunting rifle.
David Butler
The look of Hank's face when gets emasculated by his 13 year old boy
Cooper Campbell
Because Guns are for Wussies.
Christian Garcia
I thought Hank was put off guns by Cotton trying to push them on him when he was a kid.
