I grew up around shotguns, rifles, and handguns. I have a glock that we're going to trade for a smaller handgun as soon as the shops around here are re-stocked. I have a concealed weapons permit as well.

I was pretty freaked out by guns before, but wanted to try it. It was scary the first time, but I think it's pretty fun to target shoot. I'm still not completely comfortable around them and would like to go more and get to the point where I can handle one on my own comfortably.

I'm in canada so i'd never even seen a gun until recently when DH started hunting. i didn't like it at all and don't want to do it again! lol Sammyfab on "Have you ever shot a gun?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-shot-a-gun#post-501600 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 11:13:31 +0000 Sammyfab 501600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sure have!

I really don't like shooting anything more than a bb or pellet gun, the kick back hurts too much. MrsBrewer on "Have you ever shot a gun?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-shot-a-gun#post-501559 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 10:32:54 +0000 MrsBrewer 501559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Funny you just started this post! I was going to start a very similar one! I just went shooting for the first time yesterdaY! I shot my husbands glock, and my dads revolver. I didn't like my dads at all or my husbands really. I have tiiiiiny hands so its hard for me to hold them and actually have a steady grip. But all in all I'm glad I went and now I know how to at least shoot one and handle it properly. prettylizy on "Have you ever shot a gun?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-shot-a-gun#post-501555 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 10:28:43 +0000 prettylizy 501555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. never even seen a real gun (outside of the ones holstered by police) but I've never seen an unholstered police gun either. Foodnerd81 on "Have you ever shot a gun?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-shot-a-gun#post-501553 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 10:26:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 501553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. We actually had been planning on going to a shooting range over Christmas, for the first time, then everything in Newtown happened and I just really lost interest in it. I would like to at some point, just to sort of know what to do and how it works, but it's going to take a while before I'd feel comfortable with it. I grew up in a crowded suburb in NJ-- definitely no need to shoot a gun to scare any creatures off there! If you shot a gun to scare a raccoon or something, pretty sure all the neighbors would rightly call the cops!

I've shot handguns, shotguns, rifles, semi-automatics, etc. We love shooting skeet, so that's shotguns, we have a friend who has a range so that's the semi's and rifles, and DH has a dozen handguns and I've shot them all. I'm a good shot if I do say so myself. :)
