So I found out Friday that I'm afraid of guns. Lance and I went shooting so that I can learn to use our gun in case of an emergency and I was so anxious I couldn't even shoot it. I'm a pretty easy going person but I've never shot a gun before and it was loud! I could feel every shot throughout my body and I didn't like that one bit. I did hold it and load it and aim it so I feel like if there was an emergency I could use it. I think the adrenaline/fear would help me over the anxiety. I feel a little wimpy especially because my younger sister shot it no problem. Where did you get your gun savvy, Tracy?

I think I'd be the same way. The worlds need wimps like us.
The key is to point the gun away from your body. It makes you feel... safer. :)
Seriously, I don't know where I got it from. I never wanted guns in my house but then I married a Marine. I guess I just started accepting the fact that they were going to be around. Then I realized that I didn't want a gun in my house that I couldn't shoot. Then it turned into I didn't want a gun in my house that the intruder could shoot better. The first time I went was with Lance and I was nervous at first. I just reminded myself that I was handling it safely and that nothing could go wrong. I braced myself for the sound and the force which took care of the anxiety. It turned into excitement. I would suggest going out a couple more times. I'll bet that your fear will go away. You just need to become more comfortable with it.
Once I get my own gun, you can shoot mine too. Promise.
