I've been aimed at before, but never shot at. My dad has 2 guns in his house, one is a very old family heirloom (that probably doesn't even work properly) and the other is a .22 he's had since he was 20 or so.

I'm a firm believer in the right to bear arms. I don't think guns kill people, people with guns kill people. I don't think there is any reason to take guns away from people. Idiots, yeah definately, but you can't just take them from everybody.
However, I think that regular hunting with guns is silly. This is just my personal take on hunting and providing yourself and your family with food.. The reason you have a job is so you can use money to provide things. If you want to hunt using firearms purchased with your money, you're still mostly providing with your money. If you really want to oldschool it and earn your nourishment, you should make your own weapon(s) and really hunt your prey.

Oh, btw, I saw a billboard a few weeks back that said "30% of homes have a bicycle. 42% of homes have a gun." which should give you something to relate your statement "As I understand it, America is full of guns." to. Assuming those percentages are correct.

edit: just read the post before mine.. "It's still the wild west--anyone can carry anything legally unless it is concealed, and then you need a permit." Well of course it is.. Arizona is in the US, where it's legal everywhere =)
