I do target shooting as a hobby but I’m genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it’s culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences

    I’m very anti-gun for myself and live in an area where it’s fairly rare or at the very least open carry is not a thing cause it’s weird to see guns in every day life. I have shot a pistol at a shooting range and I remember it being way more powerful than expected. I actually enjoy first-person shooter video games and whatnot but in actual life I don’t want one. If I ever had to shoot someone…then I have to live with the fact that I shot someone. Not really how I want to be. I’m sure I’d shit myself in the moment but if it came to having to defend myself and I died cause I didn’t have a gun…well I guess that was my time.
