I live in Russell County. Burkesville is the adjacent county over (Cumberland County). There isn't any difference between the two in terms of gun culture.
Honestly, I know a lot of redneck motherfuckers around here and none of them would give a five year old a rifle. A person around here usually gets their first rifle between the ages of 12-13 and won't be allowed to go hunting on their own until much later. This isn't an everyday thing even in podunk Kentucky.
Considering you've admitted to eating raw salmon today, the Wendigo has probably already possessed your soul. You're about 10-12 hours away from consuming human flesh, more than likely that of your loved ones. Enjoy the wild ride!
I had an uncle like that. He went through a phase where he was trying to move things with his mind. Apparently he dreamed about being like Magneto. He'd set a pen down in front of him, put the index finger up to his temple, and begin concentrating. After about five minutes of trying to move the damn thing he'd give up and go get drunk. Then he'd beat the shit out of his wife and daughter. Also, he used to carry around a book of lotto numbers, constantly looking for patterns between the weekly drawings. He thought he could predict the future. Finally, he had the bright idea to invent a remote controlled pool ball so it could be used during pool games played for cash.
