I was at a party I should not have been at (back when I was young and very, VERY stupid) when 2 guys got into a fight. One pulled a gun and fired off a shot. The bullet whizzed by my head so close I felt it move thru my hair. At the time, after I figured out I was still alive, I didn't think it was a big deal. (What can I say?? I already told you I was stupid. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤦" title="🤦" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f926.png" />)Many years later, when I met Grumpy, we went out to Harry's. I was doing fine until he gave me his 1911 45. I fired one shot, dropped the gun where I stood, and started shaking uncontrollably. I was very nearly bawling. It was so weird. Why the .45 and not the 9mm or the .22?? Only thing we can figure is that the night I nearly got shot that guy had a .45 and that my brain somehow heard the difference in the sound?? <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤷" title="🤷" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937.png" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤷" title="🤷" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937.png" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤷" title="🤷" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937.png" /> Talk about strange ... <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😳" title="😳" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f633.png" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😳" title="😳" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f633.png" /> I finally got over my unreasonable fear but I am STILL the one person at the range who watches EVERYBODY. And I do mean EVERYBODY. I really don't wanna get anywhere near that close to getting shot again. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😬" title="😬" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62c.png" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😬" title="😬" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62c.png" /></blockquote>
