i had a hand gun for years that my dad gave me but never shot it, i lived alone in apartments and always planned on shooting someone if they broke in.. i kept it loaded.. but, i acctually tried to shoot the stupid thing this year w/ some friends and it didn’t even work!! so i gave it away.. i guess it’s a good thing no one ever broke in!!! but i would like to get a new one and acctually learn how to shoot it!!!!!!!!!!!!
