yep, in canada! when i lived in quebec we would pheasant hunt. the rifle kick always killed my shoulder (the pad on the jacket was on the wrong side, as i'm left handed). we hunted to eat. other than that, i have not fired a gun. we have won a couple of rifles at sportsmen dinners; all are registered, and still in their cases, locked in a trunk in the attic space. i wouldn't know a 22 from a bb gun these days! i always wanted to win a beautiful rifle to hang over the mantle (and never have shells for), but i always won the tommy guns or 22's or air rifles, not a silver inlaid work of art! seriously, we won a tommy gun that had been redone in 23 carat gold and sold it to a licensed gun dealer (whose wife just happens to be our real estate agent, LOL, at these small towns!) for 2,500 smackers just a month before you could no longer sell assault rifles in california. what the hell would we have done with it? hang that monster above the mantle with the long line of shells and the round middle section? i think not! the only 'fun' part of winning it was that there are only 250 of them like that one and ours was numbered #25 and the ticket we won on was #25 out of 250.

Good morning everyone! Hope you're all having a good week. Some interesting stories yesterday! Thanks so much to everyone for participating. Here are the results of: Have you ever shot a gun? Today's question is: Have you ever been unconscious? (Don't include sleeping, or passing out from too much drinking) My answer is Yes. When I was around 10 I guess, being the clever kid that I was, I decided to show my mom how long I could hold my breath. So, I'm holding...and holding....and holding... and then I pass out on the kitchen floor. My mom and my sister think that I am just goofing around, so they are apparently laughing and just ignoring me for awhile before they realize that I have indeed passed out. lol So mom shakes me awake and I burst into tears because the whole ordeal scared the crap outta me. That'll teach me for being a show off. I was also unconscious during surgery once.

Yes. Twice. And it had a lot to do with the "bad girl" I was in high school.

Passed out 3 times in my life - 2 from illness and one from trauma. Been out for surgery or other medical procedures 12 times that I can think of right off hand.

Yes, twice for surgery and another time when I was 19 - let just say I overexerted myself then I got up too quickly and promptly fainted. I was unconscious for about a minute. Really scary stuff!

Remember my answer from yesterday, lol. Clumsy! Even so, yep, once when I was three and fell down some concrete porch steps. From the way mom tells the story I wasn't even doing anything particularly stupid except walking and I just fell. Once during surgery.

Legalboxer, I flew off the monkey bars too, but I only sprang my arm(hurt really bad). Yes, I was unconcious when I had my tubal ligation and I woke up to some very loud moaning, I was embarrassed when I figured out I was the one moaning.

Twice. Once after getting up out of bed too soon after surgery and the other by an abusive boyfriend. (When I got up, I knocked the crap out of him and left for good. That was the one and only time he hit me.)

Hmmm, surgeries count, eh? Okay, 4 for surgeries and once I passed out (just for a few seconds, but out, nevertheless). So yes.

Yes - Once at 20 yrs old due to an auto accident. I also had amnesia for two weeks afterwards. That was the really weird part. And during 3 surgeries - minor stuff.
