I'd probably run and duck for cover! Back in the day, I participated on two rifle teams. The guns were always locked up when not in use - ammunition separately - and when the teams traveled the guns remained in their cases until we were ready to use them.

Before we were even allowed to pick up a gun, we had to learn - and understand - numerous safety rules. It frightens me to think of anyone who isn't sufficiently trained can own and use a gun. These days, I believe in strict gun control and would not own a gun. As we know, accidents can happen - with deadly results. And a gun in the wrong hands is deadly.
