My SO hated it. Like most people who have an irrational fear of guns, she got over it once she learned to shoot and gained some respect for them.

Interesting read.
It's a bit long, so those with an irrational fear of guns, as well as words, should be warned.

Note to randay: A kevlar vest wont stop half the stuff most of us are shooting.
Better to get your own piece or stay clear. ;)

I think gun owners tend to be vocal. I would be very surprised, however, if the majority of AT members are gun owners, as the poll would currently suggest.

you have to take into account a few other things as well though.

1) gun owners would be more likely to post/vote because its about guns.

2) non-gun owners would be less likely to post/vote because they probably don't care

3) i highly doubt that there has ever been a comprehensive poll to gauge anything on ATOT because some people don't visit OT, some people don't vote, some people don't even look at the thread, some people lie, etc.

So I would take the results of the poll with a grain of salt.

Right....that's the long version of what I meant. :)

I've got 8 hand guns and haven't fired any of them in about 14 years.

What a shame.
