We all know Ted Nugent loves his guns—but some of these other celebrities with gun licenses, rounded up by the Huffington Post, may surprise you:

  • Miranda Lambert: The country singer started carrying a weapon after receiving a death threat.
  • Marc Anthony: JLo's ex is licensed to carry a gun.

  • James Earl Jones: He's a member of the NRA, and once said that "because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."
  • Whoopi Goldberg: Also a member of the NRA.
  • Brangelina: Angelina Jolie says she purchased "original, real guns of the type we used in Tomb Raider for security," and that she and Brad Pitt are OK with having a gun in the house: "If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I've no problem shooting them."
