I'm somewhere between hunnychile and lindy on this one... I've learned how to shoot guns (and sort of learned how to use a bow, although I wasn't good at it), but I don't have a need to use them in my everyday life. The most dangerous place I go is Dayton, and while I carry mace, I don't really see the need for a gun. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at competitive shooting, but I'd never use one to kill something (or someone) unless my life was severely threatened (as in, it's them or me.)
I live in Southwest Ohio, and my stepdad's an avid hunter (he's the one who taught me to shoot), so guns were kind of always a part of life.
I certainly trust my stepdad (and his hunting buddies) with guns, and a few of my friends that are into shooting. If I was just, say, at a party or something, and I found out someone was carrying, I'd probably leave. In a situation like that, too much can go wrong.
