I haven't been shot at. My brother has while I was nearby. His friend next door flipped out. Got his Dad's 22 and brought it out to threaten my brother with. The kid was only about 11 at the time.

I really see the value in gun locks and teaching children to respect firearms. That's the biggest risk to have guns around - ignorant, playful use.

I have fired so many different kinds: Blackpowder, police issue handguns, revolvers, Jap assult rifles of many kinds, then of course the standard hunting rifles and shotguns. I started hunting whitetail by the time I was 12. I sold guns at local sport shop when I was 18 and 19. I've reloaded ammo. I've taken guns apart and cleaned them. There's very little that I haven't done with them besides harm another human being.

Gun's may be designed to kill but the human pulling the trigger does the killing. As for killing animals. I only kill animals for food or protection.
