i have some experience with guns, art--if you were referring to me---but i did not live in a rural area, and hunting (for example) was not a part of my childhood--except with a bow and arrow, which i would do.
on the other hand, art, you have to admit that if you live in a city the hunting option is kinda reduced and the gun looks quite different--if you are carrying a gun to hunt--that is to kill something---in a rural space, you could be hunting any number of things--carrying in a city means you are most likely hunting people, or worried about being hunted. not the same space, not the same meanings. situation rather than experience, in this case.
