you know the fear of the gun when you see it. they try to get every part of themself as far away from the gun as possible while still holding it to shoot it
i constantly have to remind people that the GUN shouldn’t be feared, it should be respected, but not feared. you can’t build skills confidence on top of fear. understand what the gun is, how it functions, how to use it, clean and service it. understand the consequences for its misuse and the finality of its purpose. with understanding we conquer fear by removing the unknown.
