I hate guns! I would never own one even if it were possible to own one in my country! Fortunately for me nobody is allowed to own a gun, let alone hold one except the army and the police!

I wish I had taken a gun safety course so I could own a gun now. I rely on other protective devices which I will not disclose on the net. Well done article. You do such a neat job of presenting even guns.

My dad taught me to use a gun and I even had a license to carry one and did for a long time. Then I had children and I didn’t want one on the house anymore. Good article, Nobert.
