Was out in the middle of now where (I thought) behind a hill once and someone on the other side started shooting target practice. Some of the rounds were ricocheting over the hill and I could hear ‘em whizzing over my head........that’s as close as I wanna ever get to getting shot at.

Been on the correct end of a gun many times. Hunting, plinking, range time. I know the damage it can do as I field dress mammals that weigh as much as me. I would not want to experience being on the business end of it myself.

When I was a kid my brother and I were walking down a creek bed in Alabama. We didn’t know there was a woman up stream sunbathing in the nude. She yelled at us to leave. We still hadn’t seen her or understood why she was yelling at us to leave when she fired a pistol 8 or 10 feet over our heads. That’s when I saw a naked woman pointing a gun at us

I hope she got skin cancer from too much sun. It was a completely inappropriate response to being walked up on by two preteen boys.

You can believe this or not.

Getting Shot at - Whats it like?
Ever wondered what it feels like to get shot?

Ummm....two entirely different things.

The former is quite a bit less nice than eating ice cream. The latter is probably at the bottom of most people's list of Things To Do Today.

Usually, it feels like a little tiny sharp stick.

Except for insulin pens, you can barely feel those at all!

Taking fire in combat used to be referred to as “seeing the elephant”

I've been shot at, Haven't been hit.

Damn, Jon, why don't you just post graphic images of gunshot wounds under the category 'humor', like you used to?

Dumbass...

I was accidentally shot in the chest with a .22 rifle from a range of about 8 inches. I was 15 years old and it happened in my bedroom. The bullet went completeley through me (luckily) and it felt a bit like a pulled muscle at first. When my lung collapsed it was extremely uncomfortable, and while I recovered fairly quickly, I spent one very miserable week in an ICU.

Had a gun pulled on me in Mexico, but at that time, I didn’t care and just walked away from the guy. Also was in a real-life car chase with someone who may have been armed. Nerve-racking, but managed to fake being armed myself (which bought me enough distance to shake him off).

“Hopefully, being shot by a smaller caliber has helped me build my immunity up towards larger bullets.””

HUH?

Shot at and missed with .22. Sounded like a bee buzzing by my head. Horse never seemed to notice a thing. never saw the shooter.

Shot at: several times, mostly by security guards while in my “young n dumb” days. Shot: once, by my brother (negligent discharge that hit the concrete floor and splashed lead striking me in the leg).

Shot at? Rifle fire sounds like fence wire being whipped in the air. A high-pitched “whish”. Thankfully, I’ve never been shot. I gladly take others’ words for it.
