Diego, someone pointed out that you are from Uruguay - that makes a difference! Americans ordinarily love guns or hate them but if they don't like them then they usually won't defend themselves with a firearm.

I must say I'm a bit surprised.
Don't you know anyone like these folks?
No, actually I do not. I know plenty of people who won't go near a gun and many, many people who are shooters but, offhand, I don't know anyone "scared ... to have it loaded and ready". The anti-gun folks I know are afraid of guns in general but those are the same folks who would never have one loaded and ready.

Do really all of your acquaintances go shooting regularly?
Every one of my shooting friends either shoots regularly or has shot so much in the past that while their skills might be rusty they are still competent with their guns.

I imagined that from 10 people owning a gun, not more than 5 practice at least monthly with it!
That might be true but a truly skilled shooter remains competent even if he or she has not shot for awhile. It doesn't take much practice to be able to defend yourself with a gun at your home.
