Ever been shot at?
As I understand it, America is full of guns. Perhaps this is just the media portraying americans as gun crazy notjobs but it seems to me that America has a little bit of a gun fetish. Coming from a country where only drug dealers have guns It was a little wierd to see police & security people carrying pistols around Madrid (where I live now). Ive seen people in America with guns all over thier houses, loaded, under pillows etc & it seems a bit extreme.
I was wondering how many of you (mostly Americans?) have come into contact with firearms. Have you ever been shot? Ever shot/killed someone? Ever had a gun pointed at you? Have you ever needed to use a gun to protect you or your home? etc. Are people more cautious about who they "fuck with" because they might have a gun? Do you or would you carry a gun? Although I dont agree with violence I think its not my place to tell you or anyone what they can or cant do.
Personally, I have fired guns, I have also had a gun pointed at me once, but thats another story.
Note: I realise the subject of this thread is firearm realated but I figure if I posted in tilted firearms I would only get replies from gun entheusiasts & im looking for the opinions of everyone. If Im wrong in posting here, I ask that mods move the thread.
