It got me to thinking, how many people would I be around and trust with a shotgun, or any gun for that matter????
Well I shoot fairly regularly with my wife, my children, my nephews, Dad, BiL, and a number of other family members. Say 20 or so people in that group. I feel very comfortable with any of them with a loaded weapon (shotgun, rifle, or handgun).
Well what about other people?
Well I have a number of friends that I have shot with or hunted with over the years. 10-15 men, and many of their wives and children. I cannot recall ever being frightened around them.
What about strangers who are armed in public?
I carry and know many, many more who do, knowing they are armed does not scare me. I have noticed many strangers carrying over the years, and besides making a note of the fact, and (when someone prints, or I can only see the grips) perhaps wondering what specifically they are carrying, I cannot remember ever being frightened, or having a lack of trust for that individual because they are armed.
So I guess my question is, do you distrust someone because they are armed?
Think about YOUR life... how many people would you be around and trust with a shot gun? Not many I bet.
