She said: "I used to think that firing a gun was no big deal, and I see it in shows all the time. But after firing a real gun, you will know how seriously anti-narcotics officers treat guns and you'll respect their profession more."

She works and lives in an environment of make believe, and yet still thought firing a handgun was no big deal. This illustrates just how out of touch the acting profession is with the real world.

“At that moment, I understood the might of a gun. It was really terrifying!”

The headline says she was Terrified from firing a real gun.

It seems from the article that she “learnt” the proper way to handle guns and treat them with respect, hear how loud they are (I did the same with my kids for a few shots each time at the range), and she fired numerous times - so she couldn’t have been that scared, if at all.

But she did learn the “might” of a gun - and how serious guns are - and that they are “terrifying” in the amount of damage they can do.

Heh - I just came up with a saying based on some of my favorite song lyrics that has the phrase “love and respect”.

I treat my wife like I treat my guns - with love and respect.

Very astute comment, which bears repeating.
