So I tell a lot of stories about my life here

But some stories I avoid because of how people might react 馃槵

Like tbh I wanna tell the story about a shootout I got in that made me walk away from street shit as a whole.
But with all the gun hate here.. it makes me afraid to tell the story because I don't want people to think I'm evil 馃ズ I did shoot someone... but he shot at me first & if I didn't have my gun I might've died that night.
I do think the world would be better without guns.. I do think we need to regulate them way more.

I took many classes for mine & have my license for it. Even though where I live thats not even necessary. I did that because I believe it's important. I'm very well trained to the point I can take apart any gun & put it back together no problem. Which is surprising to many people considering my background.

But since I own guns & I'm not afraid to defend myself.. I've received a lot of hate for that in the past.
I also don't side with the "pro-gun" people either. & They typically hate me as well.

I'm a weird "in the middle" type I guess. & The last time I talked about guns on here, I got my first & only blocks from that 馃槀 so I'm not writing this post to talk guns or argue. I won't engage in any of those comments. I'm just venting about how it sucks I can't write certain things out of fear of being judged 馃し
Which might sound funny considering how open I usually am on here 馃槀

If you only live your life a certain way for fear of being judged, then are you really living? Have you just not made yourself submissive to anyone who disagrees with what you think or like. Where is the freedom or joy in living only to not bother others?

I own guns, lots of them. Grew up with them and an adoptive father that was a Marine. He taught me how to shoot, stab, throw a knife, fight. All good things for someone to know, especially now. The fact that you chose to become proficient with your gun, train, and get certified says all I need to know about your character and demeanor. Having guns does not make you a gun nut. Honestly gun nuts in my view are the ones running around calling other people gun nuts. It is your right in this country to have one, and you have chosen to accept that awesome right and responsibility in the absolute best way. Kudos.

@TexChik good points. I don't really live to please anyone but at times I do notice I avoid the touchier subjects because I don't wanna be hated.
I'm glad you learned any of that & feel very comfortable with it. All of that stuff I had I to teach myself so in the beginning I was slightly nervous. Which is another reason I wanted to be trained & have my license. Because that helped me with all the things I didn't know & I became familiar with the tools instead of fearing them. But thank you for commenting.

@ChiefWalksWith40oz There are training courses....Dare I say the NRA has videos on their website. Law abiding gun ownership is a strength. Still , worrying about being hated by anti gunners is a moot point . They already hate you sight unseen. Relax馃槈

@TexChik very true 馃槀 the ones who hate will kinda hate no matter what. I understand it honestly.. but I'd rather not argue with them lol
