My Daughter's Father in Law from England had never held a gun, much less fired one, before he came here for the wedding. We took him out in the side field and let him shoot .22, .380, 38 special, 9mm, 40S&W, .45 and AR15. He did not understand why anyone needed a gun or that many different kinds until he fired them. He was converted to the fun of shooting targets. He still has the, "I couldn't kill anything, but that is a blast to target shoot."attitude. I asked him if could he protect his family and he said no one has guns in England so it isn't a question he has had to confront. He feels that the police can handle protection. He had to think when asked if he would rather face an assailant with a knife or a gun on his side? It is a big deal over there because where there are bullets there are guns. A .22 in the land of no guns is an elephant gun.
