I lived in a far away land from '68 to 2012, far from my ancestry. In this place many had a big mouth, but most of those loud mouths were afraid to pull the trigger, making their guns useless. I don't know if ethnicity is the answer, but it will never hurt to know your history and the traditions associated with it. Unfortunately for me, much of my Heide Volk (saxon) history is lost, but the mid winter horn remains a strong annual tradition, though it started as a means of long range communication and was used year round. Greetings!
