    Lets hear it! Have you been shot by yourself, a friend, a family member, someone you didn't even know. If so, where (on the body), where (location), and by what type of firearm or weapon? Even if it was just a pellet gun or something or you were unintentionally peppered while rabbit hunting etc... and even if it wasn't a big deal. Last, what (if anything) did you learn?

    I've been hit by .45 several times, on multiple occasions. Medical attention was never an issue, only problem was I could never get that color out... non-toxic paint my butt! :D

    been peppered by shot while in a tree stand, no injury. However I been shot in the chest with an arrow when I was young, have the scar as a reminder. Also I have been stabbed and have a number of scars on my hands and side.

    Lessons learned: most of this getting shot or stabbed hurts, being peppered does not, at least in my case. Also learned it was a good idea to maybe shoot the guy who points his gun at the tree I'm in before he shoots.:D

    Shot myself in the leg with a Crossman BB pistol when I was ten.:): House. Keep your finger off the trigger 'til the sights are on the target.

    pellet gun from about 6 feet, right dead center at the top of my chest under my neck. my friend got mad because i was yelling at him after he shot me because "his friend told him it was empty so he could pull the trigger" at midnight on a school night back in highschool.

    we later went paintballing... it was about 8-10 years later, i saved about 25 paintballs and lit him up head to toe... left him some good welts!

    Took a rubber dart to the left eye when I was young. To this day, if my body is exhausted, my left eye won't open more than half way! (I think the rubber dart was around .177 stick and 15mm rubber tip btw)

    Took a high powered pellet to the arm in high school from a kid that lived close by. There had been some "bad blood" so to speak between our fathers at work apparently...
