He told me he didn't trust himself with a gun.

I'm not sure that I trust myself with a gun because I've a bit of a temper and a tendency to act without thinking things through properly, but I've no desire to take your gun away. Some people are apparently too arrogant to realise that their insecurities don't apply to everyone else.

Your honesty about firearms is commendable. I think you sell yourself short. Part of marksmanship is kinda "Zen". Therefore, knowing ones self is a big step. As for the rest of your post, I concur. Firearms are a right protected by the Constitution. Until the 2nd. is repealed, I will avail myself of this right. When the 2nd. is repealed, I will become an activist to repeal the Bill of Rights entirely. Starting with the 1st.

As GI Joe says..."knowing is half the battle." That includes knowing our own limitations and mastering our impulses. It's what separates us from the animals.
