I went through the same as you it sounds, though the 12ga that knocked me over was shooting a thrown corn cob. Then went through it again with all my uncles and again with work buddies and friends dads who hunt.

My dad was a sharpshooter in the air force and died doing signal intercept in Viet Nam. My male relatives from Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas and Illinois considered it their duty to make sure I could hit a bulls eye at 100 yards. Even my anti-war uncle (Wisconsin) felt that way. You want to see a nervous man, take a hick into NYC without his gun.

Of course most your work will be with 22's cause the bullets are 3 cents each, you only get to fire the big guns 2 or 3 times since the bullets are expensive even when you hand reload the shells.

No they make no bones about the fact that they are shooting long range weapons at human shaped targets. I expect that by now they have laser and night vision scopes.

I think they expect to need to defend their property from mobs of city-folk fleeing a riot or an A-bomb attack.
