I reckon so, here I wuz thinkn guns wuz fer shootin bulets at bad guys, and thet chicargofarmer feller tol us thet they wuz fer making clickin noise to scar em off. Who'da thunk it?

[Travis McGee]

Thet klikin' and rakkin' sound kin tend to put the skeer inta a feller if'n he's in the wrong chikkin koop after midnite.

That's what my bruther dun told me. An he's still got that buckshot in his backside.

... you should always be in control of your gun....

Absolutely!

Assume a good stance and grip, control your breathing, and sqeeeeeeese.

Nice, if your lucky enough to have a target that will pose for you. On the other hand, if you're half way up a rope ladder when the threat comes, you better have some experience shooting off-hand.

I replaced all of the rope ladders in my house with stairs just last week for this very reason.
