Who here has been shot by a gun?

Ricochet from a pistol of some sorts when I was young. Sitting on tailgate with my dad and he didn’t clear it I guess - shot right into driveway - not sure if the stuff that peppered my leg was bullet fragments or driveway- not sure if this counts 😐
Shot by a BB gun many times. We used to put swim goggles on and have BB gun fights when I was a kid.
The police would probably be called if kids did that today.

Not really, but decent-sized welts.
No but a guy I grew up with while in high school was harassing a kid up at Okoboji (completely believable as he was a dick) and the kid pulled out a BB gun and shot him in the head. He had to have brain surgery and it was pretty bad, like life threatening.
He should have had goggles on.😅
Same thing when I was a kid too.
I was 16 years old or so, and my brother and I were walking a grove pheasant hunting. One of my brother’s friends was with us, who had never hunted with us before, and he decided to shoot at a rabbit running through the grove.
Thankfully he was shooting a 20 gauge and I had on coveralls over my jeans, but felt the birdshot hit my leg.
In hs some kids in the town near me had a party. One kid loaded a 12 gauge shell with fruity pebbles and shot another kid in the ass. Had to go to the hospital.
Same - except I didn’t wear goggles. Got hit once right by the eye when I was about 10 and was bleeding pretty good but didn’t think it stuck. Turns out it did and when the skin healed over you could easily feel it. Was in there for a few years and finally got it cut out a during a sports physical
I was shot one time while working a security job. I was breaking up a fight between 2 guys in the parking lot. I didn't know they were fighting over a gun. The gun went off and took me down. One guy immediately ran away with the gun. The other guy stayed with me until police and ambulance arrived. He repeatedly thanked me for saving his life. I survived and have a cool scar.

That doesn't count that was an everyday thing in the 80's.
Did they flush the wound with milk?
I thought it was going to be you.
What's worse, being shot or head butting a bull?
I was also stabbed once on that same day before Huey arrived. Don't ever let em tell you the NVA didn't have balls too.
It is the waiting that hurts most.I thought it was going to be you.
Just blown up by a mortar round that detonated 20 feet directly above me on the ceiling of our barracks.
I was 11 and brother was 19 along with his GF.
Had an old 22 pump rifle from my grandfather. Pump lock was broken and would not lock forward.
Brothers GF was shooting for the first time and when she pulled the trigger the breach was open slightly causing a piece of the casing
to hit me in my chest. never felt it. GF seen blood and freaked out. Brother got it out with a needle and fingernail clippers as we had not tweezers. Never told mom or dad about it. Don't know what ever happened to the 22. Kinda wished I still had it.

At least he didn't get shot in the butt with Cocoa Pebbles! That would have made it tough on the ER doc to sort out.
It took me nine months to recover, but only four from the bulls.Can't imagine. Glad you made it out alive, now you just have to stay alive...
Sprayed by bird shot from a distance a handful of times only a couple that actually hurt enough to leave marks. Duck hunting public marshes on opening day can be a wee bit dangerous that way.
Shot at, but didn't get shot.
Mugged at gunpoint. As the thieves sped off the one sitting in the passenger side shot at us.
When cops arrived they pulled .45 caliber slugs out of the wall of the building just behind where we were standing.
Have also had loaded gun in my face from the police. Victim of false identity.

Same. My buddy and I had perches built up in a giant oak tree and would wait for his brother to get off the bus and we'd start pelting him until he ran inside. We had a lot of BB gun fights that would not fly today.
