Yeah. (Well, they didn't just hand me a rifle and say "go shoot outside now!" My family taught me. Half my family is law enforcement, the rest are just hicks. Everybody owns a gun.)
*is actually a rather good shot, mostly with a pistol* I have a .22 that I'm absolutely in love with. It's tinytinytiny, I can stash it and it's nearly undetectable, it doesn't kick hardly at all which keeps me accurate, and it's so quiet that you can do without a silencer.
Though I do like shooting the .40 too, that one's just.... comfy. I'm used to it.
