I was about 10 years old a long time ago when I learned that a gun can cause pain. My grandpa gave me a hammered 12 gauge sxs and told me to go back to the bean field and kill a groundhog. The hole was in a corner of the field about 10 yards from a tree. I sat down against the tree a waited for him to show. When he finally decided it was safe to come out of his hole, he came out of the hole facing away from me. Not wanting to miss my first groundhog, I cocked both hammers. When I let him have both barrels, it hurt for a long time. I got the groundhog and hate them to this day.
