I personally have not fired a real gun before, although I have held one.

**I was warned that anti-gun sentiments would be deleted, and yet I chose to post mine anyway**

The circumstances were never flashy, never exciting. The end results was always the same. Like I said. It was a job.

He's right. Insist he take you to the range a few times anyway. You need to be comfortable with the entire process, from load to discharge.

No.
Other than hunting rifles, guns are not very common in Canada.
It would seem that in the USA it is as easy to get a gun as it is to get a driver's licence. I certanly hope they shoot better than they drive.

In high school I was shot through my knee in a drive-by. Had I had a gun and the person in front of me ... yes, I would have shot him.

BTW, they never caught the people. It was at a party with 30 people around me and about 5 shots fired. I was the only "lucky" one.

When I was younger, my grandfather took me out to the desert and taught me how to shoot. He instilled in me a few rules that I carry to me to this day, rule one was never point a loaded weapon at anything other than the ground or whatever it is you're intending to shoot, and the another rule was to never point a loaded weapon at another person. I have not had to break those rules yet in my life, but feel fully prepared to do so if the need arises.

The only time i have pointed a loaded weapon at anyone was paintballing, but that really dosen't count. It dosen't carry any of the consequenses of actually being able to take a person's life with your weapon.

I would reccomend that all parents familiarize their kids with weapons at an appropriate age, and more importantly, instill in those kids a respect for the weapons. I garuntee, any kid who already knows his way around a weapon and has been taught respect for that weapon isn't gonna mess around and "accidentally" hurt someone else out of curiosity.

I have aimed and fired my loaded weapon at many women and they all lived to tell about it.
