Since you said air rifles don't count, no. I fired an air rifle at cadet camp, but you said that doesn't count, so yeah no. Don't have any real desire to own or fire a gun, except maybe an old-style revolver, those are about the only guns I like. Oh, I live in Canada, Alberta to be specific.
There's no 'I shoot but do not own the firearm' option!
Also, yes I have shot real live guns. I've fired an L98 cadet rifle, a Remington something or other at a Deer (which I missed), a bunch of Webley clay pigeon 'rifles' that are really shotguns and a Mauser 98 Karbiner, that one was lovely.
All in the UK, except the Mauser, which was on Crete, there are shit loads of Mausers on Crete.

I've gone to a range when I was in the US and shot a 9mm, but I live in Canada. It was way louder then I expected it to be, and the shells burnt my exposed skin. No one told me that it was a bad idea to wear a tank top in the range!
I ended up giving my headphones back to the dude at the counter, telling him I was from Canada as an excuse and sitting in the car waiting for them to finish.

My dad started teaching me how to shoot when I was four. I get ot pat myself on the back for being a crackshot. Which is good, because my physical aptitude is shit.
Mostly honed my skills hunting, so I prefer guns with high accuracy, though I've allowed myself one indulgance. Own a 10/22 (this should be every child's first gun), a remington 700, a mossberg 500, a taurus revolver and an FAL (my indulgance: in case the zombies show).
For all the liberal hoplophobia that gets toted about most of the European media when they aren't jacking off to photos of Michael Moore, there's nothing to worry about if you're actually TAUGHT how to use them properly.

I live in the US and I own a Mossberg 500 12-gauge shotgun. I've only been able to take it to the shooting range twice because the range time and ammo is so expensive. Once I find a cheap and safe place to fire it, I'll probably take it out a lot more often.
If I had the money I would also love to get a Springfield XDm 9mm.

I only got to shoot one gun in my life (Irish Gun laws are very strict) and that was a c96 Mauser. God I love that gun.
i love guns! i own a .22 CZ 452. its wonderful really, but ive shot an assortment of rifles and a few handguns. I live in alberta, canada, so i had to get a licsence for rifles. I also frequently go out to ranchers horse and cattle fields and i shoot gophers for them. fun stuff, and if ever get a chance to do it, try it. its ALOT of fun (shooting gophers)
I don't think that's the objection people tend to have, it's not that have a gun makes you a 'crazed redneck', it's more that fact that being a crazed redneck isn't a hindrance to actually acquiring a gun.jpoon said:
