Me too, each time I go in vacation I surely check the local CO2 and pressured air shooting stand.
I also have a big bow, target and arrows. Frankly, I enjoy the bow more, but pistol/shotgun are more rare so more interesting.
Another movie shooting

My local shooting range also has an archery range in another section of the park... I've wanted to get a little bow and go there too. It looks fun. I've only shot a bow like 5 times in my entire life and I was a kid at the time.

No, I'm cashing in my distant relation to the Романовы and employing the royal plural.
"Us" would be anyone sharing my sentiment and not giving a damn about race.
Bad, bad, bad idea. A firearm is only an intimidation tactic to someone that has something to lose. If you decide to show your sidearm to a homeless, methed-out junkie? Well, instead of just trying to rob you now he knows he'll have to kill you if he wants another meal. Go with a taser, or pepper spray. Don't carry a lethal instrument for protection unless you are personally prepared to end another person's life. The "self-defence" line never works.. not for yourself, anyways. You will live for the rest of your life knowing that you consciously decided to kill another person.
Could not agree more.

Not to mention, is most situations it will be over before your able to actually react. If your able to react there's also a greater statistical chance you will still be harmed. You must ask yourself. Are my shoes/etc worth my life and/or his. 99% of the time the answer to that will be no.

Sorry, but terms like "bad side of town" generally have not-subtle racist undertones...

I suppose it depends on who's saying it. Language is a powerful tool, but it's also a crutch. I can take plenty of innocent things people say and twist them racially - but unless I know someone is a racist, I tend to associate 'bad side of town' with 'not the best place to be caught after dark if you don't live there' when they use the phrase, not with any particular demographic.
Truth be told, even living in the deep south it's been a long time since I met someone that actually harbored racial prejudice. At least here, it's a trend that seems to thankfully be fading into obscurity.

My old man taught me how to use a heavy 1962 Swedish rifle, Kalashnikov 47 and colt 38 when I was 9, and he often said to me, "Someday you will be a man. No matter what your job then, there are some skills a man needs to learn. Use of firearms or bows and arrows to protect your family, skill to ride a horse or motorbike or drive a car so you can keep your family mobile when needed, and swimming to keep you afloat."
Being able to use firearms doesn't mean you have to use it if you have one (firearms is forbidden for general civilian here), but the point is you have to be able to protect yourself and your family the best you can.
