Staying with a family in Florida? Did you know these people? I understand everyone is armed in FL that's not uncommon, what is uncommon is for invited guests to start talking about the guns they brought.
No, I was living with people I didn't know. /s
She was the one always bringing it up so I thought it would be fine. I guess offering to go shooting with someone is a crazy thing.
I have a lot of experience with "gun people" now, most of them have no idea how to operate or maintain a gun. They're like that husband and wife duo in St. Louis looking awkward AF with weapons that were so poorly maintained, they couldn't fire anyway.
That's why she was nervous, she knows she can't hit anything and probably too scared to even pull the trigger.
Nice try, I guess. 7/10
Just trying to understand why she would be spooked about you mentioning guns, maybe it was the way you said it. Shooting is a valuable skill, however taking delight in weapons of death is a disturbing thing for anyone to experience. An intelligent person said to only train with weapons, but not collect them, or flourish them more than necessary. It's true, if we are civilized people we approach with words, in a productive way first. No better way than that if you want someone else to be reasonable, you only escalate to that level if the person cannot be reasoned with.
The lack of reasoning is what puts people on edge.
The invention of firearms ranks with the printing press for promoting change in world history. Having an interest in the history of guns and owning some of the historical pieces isn't unreasonable. People who can't appreciate that aren't what I would call intelligent.
She mentioned guns, she did, she did, all the time. She would always say, "if someone comes into her yard she would shoot them".
Anyone who trains with guns is not afraid of going shooting since they do that all the time. For instance, I train with guns so it's a normal thing to go shooting with people, that's why I asked. lol
I think you're just having trouble understanding, that's ok.
Since then, I've gone shooting with a lot of big talkers and they're usually beginners so I get it now.
