I've been shot at. It hit my ear, so it mostly missed.
The fact that someone would hate you enough to shoot at you is a kick in the head at 12. I worked with a woman who was beaten to death by her husband; he killed himself with a gun. I heard about that after the fact. I missed the Eaton's centre shooting, although I did witness the 'riots' in Toronto around the summit. And this is in peaceful Canada; I have no wish for it to become worse.
Most of the handguns here come from the US. And yes, it's illegal, but it happens.
