(814 posts)Haven't touched a gun since. It was my brother's gun, he used to shoot at me from the upstairs window when I was playing outside, hit me once, still have the dent in my forehead.
When I was 16, my drunk neighbor shot his wife's former employer when he gave her a ride home after she went to see about getting her job back. Gut shot him with a deer rifle, guy never lost consciousness, I can still hear the man screaming and picture him laying on the lawn and my neighbor's wife on the porch, screaming as well. Bullet went through the guy, through 2 walls of the house and lodged just above their baby's crib. I was sitting in a car across the street and saw the whole thing from beginning to end. My friend got out of the car and took the rifle away from my neighbor because she was afraid he'd shoot his wife next. You never forget something like that. I was their babysitter, I still question why I didn't intervene when I saw him with a rifle. The guy survived, the neighbor never went to jail, he died a year later when a load of lumber fell on his head at work. Karma or payback? We never knew.
Would never have a gun in my house.
