I don't remember being asked ridiculous questions although many of them, using logic, didn't need to be asked. But I have been asked invasive questions. The kind that I don't like at all, alluding to my privacy or intimacies, for example about the size of my bum or other parts, or the question about how many men you've been with .... how could they think of asking that? !!!! Of course I don't answer or in a diplomatic way so that they don't ask anything else.
In reality, I don't know about guns but they really are a good tool, which should be respected and taken care of. Excellent photography.
