Have you ever fired a gun? Would you try it if given a chance? (sh.itjust.works)

I do target shooting as a hobby but I'm genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it's culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences

Having spent a few years in the Marine Corps infantry, I've fired dozens of weapons a great many times. I also enjoy target shooting. Like many things that take skill and have a bit of a learning curve, the more you do it and the better you get, the more you appreciate it. With that said, I previously sold all of my firearms and haven't shot in ~5 years, but recently purchased two and will be practicing again soon.

I wish I had access to a real military range day!
