Getting shot for being lost


 Yes, another post about gun control in the USA. In my job, I have to visit people in their homes. Sometimes it can be hard to find the address, not just in new build areas where road signs are absent initially, but also in more rural areas. Most of the time I can ring for directions, but there are times that this has not been possible, or I have not been aware that I have gone to the wrong address. 

I have never been shot for this, something which happens too many times in the USA. I am aware that this is because lax gun laws are valued more than the deaths of innocent lives, and I am grateful that I do not face this risk here.
