Have you ever fired a gun? Would you try it if given a chance? (sh.itjust.works)

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

Yeah, I shot a lot of BB and pellet guns as a kid and fhen shot actual gunpowder funs a few times as an adult.

Ut is really, relly fun. Like fireworks, or a a small engine, it is harnessed explosions and just a barrel of fun. Never went hunting or anything, just target shooting. Would do it more if I chose it over other hobbies but the nutball conservatives that run the shooting ranges around here is a big turnoff.
