If you don’t, no need to reply telling me you don’t. I live in the woods with some critters. I live pretty far from neighbors/police so having a gun gives me peace of mind. I also hunt and consider myself a gun hobbiest. I enjoy shooting targets, cleaning/organizing, reloading and earning food with guns.
I grew up with shooting sports so it’s normal for me, but I understand the reticence from people who aren’t familiar. Guns are terrifying, and if you own one and stop treating it like a death stick at all times, you should consider getting rid of it.
