So who on NS has actually shot a gun

I just watched turbo and kind of did a double take when Stefan Thomas said he hadn't shot a gun.  So I got to thinking.. how many of you guys shoot, have shot or whatnot with guns?

Probably will start a huge debate but I'd like to see it again.

I myself have two 12 guages of my own and a 30-06.  I shoot in a trap league at our local club and am an avid duck hunter.  And hey guess what? I'm liberal and utterly detest the NRA.  But all that aside I want to see the rest of NS and how experienced they are with guns.

Cheers

I went shooting on x-mas day, it's almost like an unspoken tradition that my dad and other family members have done for the past few years.  we've got: a 30-30, 12 gauge shotty, 4-10 shotty, 7.62x59 bolt action, a russian sks, a .457 (bear rifle), .38 special, .357, a couple .22 rifles, and a couple BB guns.  Buy up people before Obama lays down some new gun laws

I had never shot a real gun powder gun before I went to Europe. Actually now that I think about I have never shot a gun in the US.

And the weird thing is I have 3 shot guns and an old Japanese WWII rifle that my GP gave me. I would shoot them but I have no place to go that I know of. I like guns though. I wanted to buy a sniper rifle after I saw shooter...

I used to shoot trap, I shoot rifles pretty frequently, and I deer hunt.  And I agree on the NRA, they suck.  Im somewhere in the middle on the gun control issue, the nra is for no regulation whatsoever, and there are plenty of people who would ban guns all together if they could.  Anyway everyone whould shoot a high powered rifle, handgun, or a shotgun at least once.

That test is so easy.  I think to be an "Expert" you should have to hit 99% or better.  But that medal is neat-o either way.

I wasn't bashing you by the way, I just don't think that I am what you would call an "Expert" and I thought it is fairly easy.

I live in VT, it is a lot easier to ask who hasn't shot a gun here.

Shot:

.22, .308, 30-30, 4-10, 12 GA, 20GA, .357 Magnum Pistol, and my favorite, my grandfather's original 1944 M-1 Garand Rifle.

My step-father's great great Uncle acutally invented the M-1 so my grandpa has about 5 or 6 M1 Garands, but only 1 is working.

I spent a few years as an infantry soldier so I fired my fair share of weapons (from pistols to big ol' machine guns) and blown a lot of crap up.

I gotta admit though it's been a while since I've fired a rifle and I miss the feeling quite a lot!
