[QUOTE=silentmusic]and I take martial arts lessons but I wont accidently shoot someone with it..

Statistically, I won't either.

In fact, going by the statistics, you're more likely to have a gun accident should you stumble across one than I am (because you probably don't know how to handle one safely).

Personally, I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do -- to me, shooting is just another martial discipline that utilizes a little bit different set of skills, but I'm very much in the same frame of mind when I do either. [If you're doing it right], they're both very much about form, mental focus and self-control.
