sounds like someone needs a straight jacket

I can't format. rip

Yay

Im a Canadian thats never been near a fired gun

But Jesus christ man

i feel like these people don't know what ptsd is

This is embarassing

I think they're not lying, it's just how sheltered they are

"i was anxious and irritable for a few hours" =/= PTSD

It would've been amazing if the person filed for government assistance for the "PTSD"

Well they did say 'temporary'

I think they were just genuinely shaken by the experience.

if you had PTSD fireworks would do to you what the fire alarm did to my cat

And failed to describe that well

Still, being so terrified of a firearm you yourself are firing is quite embarassing

i can see it for some types of older guns from before we figured out how to reliably make them not explode in your hands

but for a modern gun... yeeeeah

Well, vulnerable little animals are startled by loud noises.

Yes they are vulnerable little animals.

I can imagine that happening if i fired a musket

I dunno

Maybe actually knowing how a gun works mechanically

Really dispels alot of this

He probably has zero idea

Being irritable for hours?. It's usually a liberating experience

... Is it?

probably depends on your mindset going into it

Long term irritability rarely happens for healthy reasons

Often its due to stress

It's definitely liberating

i haven't shot a gun in a looooooong time but i remember my dad letting me shoot cans with his .22 when i was little and my reaction was just childlike wonder

I've shot a lot. Very fun.

"this is so coooOOOOOOooool" -me, age ~8

And if it feels intimidating, just imagine what you're shooting is Karl Marx

lmao
