What Does It Feel Like

As an individual testifying to the sometimes mortal gun shots to a human being I will tell you this. The experience is different for everyone as most of it is initially within the confines of ones own mind well before the physical pain and the position of the slug in the body along with the angle / distance etc of the shooter. In case anyone thinks any of this is cool then please know this. The first response is usually ******* yourself and deficating in some cases, you usually puke on yourself. Your fear escalates to shock and your body begins to shut down. Until your brain puts you in " dying " mode you will continue to be so fearful of death you will honestly begin to pray to a deity , whether you're a religious person or not. You immediately become very humble , you see your entire life including your children and your wife , you hurt for your mother knowing she will learn of your death. Your mind races at a thousand miles per hour and tunnel vision comes into play - you black out and at this point your brain stops your memory from keeping this drama in a permanent record. One of two things happen at this point , either you awaken post surgery ...... Or you never wake up again. You want to know howit feels to get shot ? No you don't ... Trust me , you do not want any part of the experience. Please be careful with firearms and please respect human life.

I feel bad ur thoughts progress to hurt yourself ! U have to remember the world gets tuff life was not promised to be easy but it's what we make it u have to keep pushing !!! Live love an keep ur faith it wasent ur time an that should have been a sight from god u have a personal journey to embrace so keep ur head up an ask god to show u the way see the devil will play games an allow us to believe we must do things like that but gods love is stronger ..don't be weakend by th one misserable u are my brother in spirit an I love u enough to lay positive reenforcment on u god bless u be good.

I've never ever been shot, but my friend's dad has. He was shot in the hip, and he said it was excruciatingly painful.

cool answer

i would have killed that redneck **** later that night for putting a shotgun to my gut

i shot myself in the head as a suicide attempt a while back, and i can honestly tell you at first it doesn't hurt at all. the whole side of my face went numb and i didn't feel anything until later in the hospital when the pain medicine started to wear off. that was the worst pain ive ever felt, and still to this day i have pretty bad headaches in the part of my head from where they removed the bullet.

for me being shot was the scariest thing ive ever experienced, and i have flashbacks sometimes when i hear a loud noise and sometimes have pretty bad nightmares of being shot at. the worst thing though is that it blinded me in the right eye, which took me some time adapting to the changes in depth perception and driving.

Amazing story, ballz. Thank you for sharing it, and for your honesty.

I have never been shot, but came close a couple times.. I have horrible nightmares still, and I agree.. knowing it's going to happen is very terrifying.. I wrote one story here about it ..being held hostage, but there is another one I might write about.. Glad you lived and everything turned out.

It's not a dumb question. Many people are curious about how it felt! I would be. Good story.

In response to the answers to the more difficult questions people don't ask:

I'm glad you pissed on his grave.

Yes, you can be a ***** when you need to be.

I'm glad you are in business and not putting your life on the line.

I believe you were angry for a time but it amazes me how you let go of that and don't let it dictate or define your life.

And you, Dear, are the one with the guts. I love you.

Perhaps I overstated things when I said the question was stupid. It is better to define the question too obvious and after too many times quite tedious.



On rare occasion someone has become aware of this, something I rarely tell anyone and then asks more difficult, but also more interesting questions.



Where did it go in and where did it come out? Here and it didn't.



What did you do later when you were better? Not long after the shooting the shooter died. I pissed on his grave.



Are you generally mad at the world and total ***** because of this? No, but I can be a ***** if I need to be.



Did it change your life for the better or worse? In many ways it was the most important thing that ever happened to me because it led me to a great new career and eventually a great wife.



Why don't you tell people about it more often? Because many people define me by the fact it happened and immediately expect me to be mad at the world and a *****.



It takes more guts to ask these questions. It also leads to a more interesting discussion, so when you meet someone who has been shot, have some guts.



that is meant for everyone else, I know Myonis has guts, small ones wrapped inside a tiny waist.

It's not a stupid question, really. I think it's not uncommon to wonder about something like this. Therefore, the answer really isn't all that obvious. I'm glad you didn't feel anything initially, but what you went through following the shooting was pure hell. That was obvious.
