This comic totally reminded me of my first experience shooting guns when I was a teen… and sadly the adrenaline rush mostly outweighs the rational respect that guns are weapons who’s main purpose is killing someone / something!
My husband wants to get a small handgun, “to go shoot at the range.” I have mixed feelings about it, most of which feel pretty similar to what you captured here. I guess it’s good to know some basic firearms skills, but it’s also pretty scary.
