I went back and counted 5 negatives. If a double negative is a positive then 5 must indeed be negative. In other words I have never shot anyone.

That's a lie though, as I've shot two people in my life. I shot a kid with my BB gun for no good reason. He was a friend of mine but he ran across a field and within my sights. I shot him in the forehead and still feel bad about it. He had to go to the ER and have the BB cut out. The other was my cousin. Again with a BB gun. I shot him in the thigh only because that's all I could get a shot at and because he was shooting at me.

Those incidents were years ago as I am, as you know, very old. I'd like to think if I ever pulled a gun to shoot these days it would be a body or head shot, to kill.
