I was in a service and evac unit.. we came under fire while recovering a damaged loach. it was not a good day.

I think I covered the salient points.

Good am i glad that i never even saw a real gun yet.

What amazes me is that all guys that were shot at are from north america.
Glad the gun ban works in germany, so noone i know was ever shot at.

Maybe you should rething the "freedom-to-carry-a-gun" idea.

Btw: i forgot i know a guy whose father has a guns collection at home, about 7-9 pistols + 15 rifles and around 2000-3000 rounds of different ammo. But he has them locked away in a safe.

I never saw what happened but he said the landowner was shooting at us with a shotgun. We stayed off that guy's land after that.

well where the hell are you from we were poach many times, we meet ranger few times, but he never fired on us ... well i dont know how things going in you country, but in our land we usualy do not shot on unknowen people

ad. drunken guys .. well i had some problem once with one of those guys, whitch become chief of the world after few tots, well i had bad day too , so when he start to flame me, i jumped on him .. that was all ... he stoped pluck after few slugs...

Germans aren't allowed to have guns because everytime they get their hands on 'em, they try to take over the world! But you guys still manufacture some of the best pistols in the world, too bad you're too mean to tote 'em.

Yes, to end the story completely, Tim was pretty devestated at what could have happened. Me, with my ear ringing like mad, checked my smoldering hat and noticed the pom-pom that was on it some 50 feet or so away. It really didn't sink in until a few days later that (recall Im 12 or so at the time) wholly crap, my brains coulda been splattered across that field.

Tim did tell my folks about what happened and I've got to commend him, he drove me straight home after making sure I was ok, told my parents who then asked if I needed to go to the hospital about the deafness in one ear. A few hours later, it was starting to improve, so we left well enough alone.

I did hunt with him the following year, and there was another gent in our hunting party who bagged a deer I spooked, and ran into his line of fire.

I haven't hunted since. Not that I do not want to, or because of that bad experience. Mostly, because as a pilot, I fly over a lot of the rural areas I'd want to go. And Im amazed how many bright orange dots I see down there. There's a lot of folks in the woods every season, and while accidents are down considerably, I'm just not ready to go back in.

Lepaul,

Check out the muzzle loading season. Far fewer hunters and NO one is going to waste their only shot shooting into a bush, canyon, whatever, just to see what was in there.

I had to go overseas to get shot at.

Besides.. its pretty hypocritcal from someone living in a nation that didn't vote in gun control... it was disarmed.
