@khanm, to carry a gun is not a matter of pride but a matter of insecurity.Truth is most people are ill trained to own a gun and a country that is irrationally emotional guns take more innocent lives than the target . There are numerous cases of air firing causing fatalities and yet that is not a matter of concern and remains a matter of pride . If you are that proud of your gun please make sure at least you don’t fire yourself the next time you show it off . As satirical as it sounds the second most frequently caused injury by a gun .
