Are you nervous if you see a gun?

No. My father collects pistols and I own one myself. You'll stop being scared if you spend enough time around them.

Depends on who is holding it. I have a few relatives in the (legal) arms dealing business and in my area of origin guns are pretty normal and most people that I know that own one are well trained and qualified to own one. Now if I were at gunpoint, I'd be afraid, but guns in general only make me about as nervous as the person handling them.

If dick cheney is holding it.

That would be silly since I own a glock 22 .40 S&W

We don't fear guns in America we embrace them!

In the U.S. it is fairly easy to get a conceal and carry permit, and I keep a .38 revolver in my car. Shooting sports have always been part of my life as well so I am exceedingly comfortable around guns, even in the hands of criminals (as I have one too, and I use mine more efficiently)

Guns are so much a part of life for some in the U.S. that a large portion of my inheritance from my grandfather included about 30ish guns, and an AMAZING gun safe that costs more than my car!

I've been around guns my whole life. Shooting sports are a way of life for me. I'm as comfortable around firearms as automobiles...which are considerably more dangerous.

Guns don't kill people, rappers do,
I seen it in a documentary on BBC2

Not really. When I se eone, I just want it.

..[lllllll] I got a gun and I aint afraid to use it!

I'm really not exposed to guns. I know a few people who have one but I've never seen it. I've shot some before, I'm special, I know. Dont fuck with me because I'm actually a really good shot. With little guns anyway :) bang bang

Yeah, guns are a lot more restricted in europe. You have to have specific licenses or reasons to be even allowed to have one, and then only a select few jobs may even CARRY it in public.

So yes, seeing a gun except in the store front of a gun shop makes me nervous.

I get nervous around most potential weapons, especially fire.

doesn't bother me.. it's just a gun. Worst case scenario-I'll die. I have a licensed weapon too, but it's a shotgun.

Although i never happened to be at gunpoint myself, just a met a lot of bad people who carry guns.

I've never actually seen one, but if I saw one here in Ireland, I'd be terrified!

This is a great question. I had a similar post recently because my boyfriend keeps a gun in our house. Honestly, I still find guns frightening, and unsettling, but if the gun is being used by a trained professional whom you trust, there isn't tooo much to be worried about.

Er...if it's at my head.

I use to love handling them and shooting them off until my 14 year old cousin was shot and killed now I don't even like seeing them

Coming from a guy who has been robbed at gun point twice, yes, I am terrified of guns.

I'm scared of anything that could end my contentiousness in a fraction of a second.

If it were someone I really trusted then I wouldnt be scared but with a stranger... Well you get the picture. Guns have never been my thing and the people around dont have them either. Not my cup of tea.

i ain't a scared of guns the police have them and my uncle has one who works for the PSNI as a Traffic Warden i have held guns a few times in my life the police and a man around the corner allowed me to hold their guns.

Never seen one in real life so wouldn't know.

There's very little that inspires fear in me, so no!

(Except bees. I hate bees)

It depends who is holding it.

I don't like to look at the front of them.

There are several. Or is it three?

Sometimes. It's so hard to have a gun here that the people who have them are a bit dubious. Or they're police. Not that it's mutually exclusive.

I get slightly excited. I really want to get a pistol license but the only gun range near where I live shut down. It's a lot harder to get one in the UK but it's not impossible.

screw that a metal bat, a chainsaw and a machete lol .

I actually feel safer around police officers, especially in unsafe areas. I do not get nervous when around police, security guards, soldiers, etc. However, when I see a gun or any other weapon being handled by some random stranger, that's scary!
