My dad, brother, uncles, cousins, husband...I could come up with a substantial list.
Do they hunt in McDonald's?
Seriously, military and hunters are two groups who are more likely to be aware of their surrounds and the lethality of their firearms. And hunters still have a lot of blue-on-blue incidents.
You asked how many people we would trust and I answered.
McDonald's isn't even in the equation.

I would like to back up and ask if you are saying you are mentally ill...it certainly sounds like that's what you are saying.
If you were ever to get a gun, I would hope you would be issued a single bullet that you had to carry in your pocket, a la Barney Fife.
Again - it's "klutz".
I am not "mentally ill" I have "mental illness". Too much of society treats "mental illness" like the character in the movie psycho. There is too much stigma attached to those words. Most people who have mental illness are not violent. But there certainly are those whom are not self aware like me that end up committing suicide, and others who do hurt others, even if in the minority.
Most firearm deaths and injuries outside suicide are a combo of ego, narcissism, power and control and entitlement which can be combined with things like greed, economic problems, sociopathy and most of those people are not mentally ill.
Why would I want to carry a single bullet? Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon carried a "special" bullet just for suicide because he always thought about it, and made excuses not to do it. I am sorry, but if you seriously think that is a sane way to cope, that is nuts. I don't want bullets or guns.
