Today, I went to the shooting range with my step-dad, and fired a 9mm for the first time.
Now the only time I had ever fired any gun, was when I was 8. It was a stuffty 12guage, and I was shooting at a cup. Here, there were a lot of people around, and I was paranoid of just about everything.
He took a few shots, and told me I'm up next. I was nice and calm.... Until the gun was in my hands.... I trembled so much, I almost completely missed the target. After taking the first shot, I thought, "Why was I just pissing my pants?"
After that, he got out a 30-30 rifle, and had me shoot it. The bang made me crap my pants, and I held the gun wrong, and ended up bruising my shoulder.
I was embarrassed after he got out the .22, and said, "Here. Those other guns are for men. You shoot this."
