Yes; & although my gun ownership does not incite me to conceal carry or otherwise act like a dumb hillbilly or redneck; & are kept in secure storage for safekeeping. Miles away.

Those were never bought for personal protection; aren't assault weapons or clones made to impress the underendowed members of an insecure crowd. I've taken official firearms courses for backcountry situations where you may have to use a shotgun with slugs or #2 shot, near people under attack from bears or moose. 

My friends & neighbors growing up, were aware of firearms; kids could take-apart, clean, repair & use their own guns. But never carried them as toys, or to make our genitals appear larger than our brains. 

We were raised in a different time in small town Alaska. Sad to say most of the decent role models have passed on. Some of them real heroes; not just former military who have benefit of trained skill who know how to shoot to kill. Hunting is different, if solely looking to get meat for food.
