That is such a scary notion, and it really shows me the difference between US and Europe when it comes to guns(In most countries atleast). Had something like this happened to me over here, I would not in my WILDEST dream ever considered that he could have a gun. Im 25 years old, and I have yet to even see a pistol or revolver in real life. Closest is the one shot per load hunting rifles my uncle have.
