I do not own a firearm. Never have. I've considered getting one for sporting purposes. I have not had time to get what I considered proper training. Thus, I have not bothered taking the required exam (where the clerk asks if I will be paying cash or credit).

I have had people point a hand gun at me, twice. While working as a college kid at a fast food resturaunt (is that a contradiction?). Was I scared - a bit - till I realized neither had the safety off and their finger was not on the trigger. One time we just handed the guy the money in the till. He walked out. We called the cops and told him who had robbed us and where he lived. He was an employee's younger brother. (Not smarter, younger.)

I tend to have sharp pointed things about, that I know exactly where they are, and have the confidence in my own ability to use them. Does that make me a knife/axe/sword nut?

Ah well....
