have you ever fired a gun in the house?

Should have shot your parents to teach them a lesson. Seriously, you were eight. Your parents had a loaded gun in the house that a child could find.

I tested homemade silencers on .22's and fired these in my closed garage. I don't know if this qualifies as in the house.

For the sake of the heavily slanted results...I hope you put yes.

My grandparents had a little shooting range in a crawl space in their basement. Had a thick steel plate at the back that was about a 45 degree angle that deflected everything down. Had a wire around two wheels and youe could clip a target on there and then run it to the back of the crawl space. Used a 22 rifle and it was a ball!

I also know of a couple other examples. Both in Montana as well. One incident where a guy went after a mouse with a .22 in his house. Yes he killed it. The other was a guy who needed to drill some holes through a roof to install a chimney pipe and he just used his .22 pistol instead of a drill. Said it worked just fine!

Does the garage count? I used to shoot rats in my garage with my .22 when I was a kid.

Agreed, your parents, and not you, were in the wrong there. Rather than beating an 8 year old, they should have thanked their lucky stars that their own carelessness didn't lead to you or someone else being seriously hurt.

I should also add, I have never fired a gun, period.

Everyone is passing a lot of jusdgement on your parents w/o knwoing this full story, but I think there's probably enough blame to go around on this one.

When I was a kid, we had guns around our house, some loaded some not. From the time i was very young I was taught to treat them with respect. I knew which were loaded and which were not and not to handle with any of them w/o permission. I understood the importance from the time I was very young.

If you did something you weren't supposed to, then yes, you were to blame. But your parents were as well for not ensuring you understood the importance of not handling the gun.

I'll be the first to admit that I know very little about guns, but I do know that leaving guns loaded while in storage, or unlocked in places that kids can get to them is pretty much universally unsafe.

I wasn't there.
I didn't do anything.
I didn't see anything.
I don't know anything about it.

Buddy of mine had an accidental discharge when cleaning his beretta 9mm. Thought it was unloaded, it wasn't, oops. Put a round through the roof of his home and killed a squirrel. Called me over to look at the hole. Good times.

Additionally that was the last time I ever worried about the stopping power of a 9mm hollowpoint, that [censored] tore up his roof.
