Ah fun!
A friend was a shooting and firearm enthusiast and I used to love going to the range for some shooting! He has a couple CZs (9mil) in his collection and I loved shooting those.
Many people like to mount their soap boxes to protest someone else’s situation, preferences or lifestyle. I know plenty of people who “don’t like guns” for their own reasons but the permit-holding shooters I know are the most responsible and overly careful people I know and I do love hitting the range with them.
Fun and, perhaps not unanimously popular opinion, a neat life skill to have!
It really depends, I have no problem with people having guns, as long as they know how to use them and are not crazy. But personally I have no interest in guns, I have essential tremor no way I could hit a target, probably hit someone while trying to hit a wall. Actually that is also the reason I do not drive a car. So you see, some people might actually be menaces if they have a gun (or drive a car).
It’s good that you know your limits and stay on the safe side as that’s real responsibility, not fear. And honestly, not everyone needs to be into guns or driving because life works fine without both. Thank you for sharing your perspective so openly. 😁
Thanks for sharing this! I totally get what you mean, the people who actually handle firearms legally and responsibly are usually the most careful ones. It really changed my perspective too. And you’re right, it’s a fun experience and definitely an interesting skill to try at least once.
But as I said, I am playing with the airsoft ones, which are basically in between toys and real weapons. A lot safer anyway :)
