"Love Gun" is a song by the American hard rock band KISS released on their 1977 album of the same name. The B-side is the album track "Hooligan", a song written by drummer Peter Criss.

Sung by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley, he has claimed in several interviews since its release that it is one of his favorite KISS songs, even stating that "... "Love Gun" is quintessential KISS and is probably one of the five signature essential [KISS] songs."Leaf, David and Ken Sharp. "KISS: Behind the Mask: The Official Authorized Biography", Warner Books, 2003. ISBN 0-446-53073-5] Stanley has also said that "The Hunter" section of the Led Zeppelin song How Many More Times inspired the lyrics of Love Gun.

"Love Gun" has been played on every KISS tour since its release, and has made numerous appearances on KISS greatest hits and compilation albums despite the fact that it stalled at #55 on the U.S. singles chart. [ [http://www.kissfaq.com/charts/scharts.html International Singles Chart] ]
