    At the summer camp in upstate NY I attended at ages 9-11, there was a rifle range where we fired 22-caliber rifles at paper targets to earn NRA marksmanship certifications.

    I've never had one work for me, but if it did and was a slacker, I'd definitely fire it!

    Owned a .22 for years. Used it for hunting - rabbits, feral cats, foxes. Handed it in after Port Arthur. I could have kept it, it was registered and I was licensed - but fees became extortionate and I rarely hunted by then anyway.

    Pistol and a rifle at a range....shot gun at a Country Fete and also at Clay Pigeon ranges....I gave it up when the Clays  became and endangered species after people there began shooting them indiscriminately..... 
    It was pretty clear to me that they were getting upset about being shot to peices and most all broke down instantly when hit....
    :( 
    Strange thing is ,every one hit just scattered and no one ever see them again....:(

      That's better.  (At least it's grammatically correct.)

    I was a firecontrolman by trade.  On the older ships one of our positions was 'telescope operator' in the gun mounting where the gun could be fired from when the radar/computer systems failed.
    On newer ships it is all remotely controlled

    A former beau of mine took me to a firing range and I shot a rifle.  No real interest in going a second time.

      Yes, several types of handguns, rifles, grenade launchers, machine gun.  All were in the line of duty; I served in the US Marine Corps.

    No. Someone with my mental problems should not even be near a gun. The thing is that I'll fire it, but into my head.

    I must admit, I am not at all a fan of guns or weapons in general. However, I did shoot guns at a range with an old friend and his dad, as a young one.
