We are getting used to all the guns in Alaska. Signs are always shot up, and you often see people walking around with their handguns. The first time I shot a gun was in Darwin at a range, using a shotgun to shoot at pellets. I really enjoyed it, and I'm really looking forward to shooting guns again. I can definitely feel your excitement—I would shoot guns any day of the week.
Yeah, there's parts of the world where they're commonplace every day. I mean, they are for me here too I guess, but most people who don't have them don't think of guns from day to day...other to fear what they don't actually understand.
I hope you get to shoot again soon.
