Wow... That reminds me of the story about my wife (years and years ago back in the late 70's). My wife was only like 16 years old at the time and was hanging out with her sister and a bunch of boys that they knew. One of them decides to go home and get his dad's 30-06 and a box of rounds. They decide to venture off into the woods to play around shooting the 30-06. (back in those days, you could do things like that)...

Anyway, my wife never even held a rifle before. Heck, she never even shot a BB gun before either!! These boys wanted to play a cruel prank on her and her sister and said something like, "here ya go, try it" - with no instruction on how to hold it or what the recoil would be like.

Long story short - my wife pulled the trigger, got knocked about 5' backwards, stumbled, and landed on her butt. [] To this very day, all these years later, she won't go near a gun, rifle, shotgun, handgun, etc...etc... She didn'tturn into an ANTI - thank God, but she is extremely timid and scared to death of firearms. {way to go boys, back in the 70's... way to go... a**holes!!!! [:@]}
