Oweo, when I went to HS in your city, every pickup truck in the parking areas had gun racks in the rear windows. And never once did any of the “kids” think of shooting each other. In short, I didn’t know any irresponsible gun owners growing up.

I did but that was due to it being more common to leave firearms lying or easily accessible around back in the day. People didn't worry about it as much back then.

Like I said, it was still like that.. Until my senior year. If I recall, they didn't even announce they would be enforcing it, one day they just started calling kids out of class and sending them home if they had a gun in their truck. Everyone thought it was insane that they started enforcing it, because it was normal for people to have their guns.
I also remember every once in awhile someone would actually have a hand gun on them...There were times when people would buy a gun illegally.. "off the street" and the transaction would go down at school. That wasn't really something normal, but I just remember being in the back of class a few times and someone sitting around me would lift up their shirt to show people the gun they bought from someone else.

I agree. Most of the people that grew up around guns or hunting are the most responsible guns owners around. Typically when you hear about a child being accidentally shot around here it's in the hood and the gun was stolen.

I would say that most people who drive, have never been in a wreck that wasn't their fault.. Would you agree with that?
I would say that if people had any real situational awareness the accident rate would be cut by 80% or so. "Fault" is usually shared to some degree whatever the law might say.

Yes my former upstairs neighbors in Statesboro, GA.
Situation One: Wife picked up husbands .22 pistol in their airpartment, thought it was empty, husband agreeded, shot the floor. Didn’t not break through but was above our living room.
Situation Two: Same couple were visiting his parents house. They were going (or just returned) from shooting skeet. I’m the process of racking the shotgun in the kitchen, fired off a shot. Broke shot through the window and damaged a vehicle and water heater. Wife was realativley close to being shot again.

Leaving a gun in an unlocked vehicle used to be the norm. With all the vehicle burglaries nowadays, I'd say that's irresponsible.

Guns being reported stolen. It’s irresponsible for gun owners to not properly secure their weapons and let them get into the hands of criminals

Yep. You are so correct. They shouldn't feel like victims for having their vehicle burgled. If someone steals your TV out of your home it's essentially the same situation. You should have had thicker curtains baw

Over the years I’ve hunted with a few people that I’ll never hunt with again. And I’ve heard the “it’s not loaded” line before. I was taught well at the age of about 8 how to handle a weapon and had it drilled into my head all my life. I’ve done the same with my kids.
also many times when my son was younger he would want to bring different friends hunting.. some we let shoot some we didn't///// funny same thing went for their dads...
but I have several very good friends.. i don't hunt with... period....ever again..

Went shooting with my father and one of his friends recently.
Friend just began to become extremely infatuated with guns and has since bought a glock in both 9mm and .45, as well as an AR-10 and a bump stock.
I have hunches that he has a grudge against somebody but I keep it to myself.
Scariest part of the story: after spraying down a dirt with 2-3 massive clips, he points the gun in a “safe direction” and pulls the fricking trigger and it “CLICKS”.
I said wtf?! “I pointed it in a safe direction to make sure it wasn’t loaded!”
Looked at my dad and said “get me out of here before I’m accidentally shot, PLEASE.

I’ve known unethical hunters, but never really been around anyone irresponsible with firearms. If I ever witnessed it, I would get away.

Plenty.
