I haven't, but my dad and uncle were both shot. My dad was shot by one of his friends who was playing with a loaded .22 revolver. Dad tried to tell the guy that the gun was loaded but he didn't listen - shot him just below his left collar bone. This happened when my mom was pregnant with me. By all accounts, she was not amused.
My uncle got shot when he got in a bar fight when he was in the Navy. The guy shot him in the lower abdomen with a small pistol. After getting shot, my uncle nearly beat the guy to death and got thrown in jail for assault. It was only after he continued to bleed profusely in his cell that they realized what had happened.
I'm assuming alcohol was involved in both instances. But when a guy who can show you a bullet wound tells you to be careful with guns, you do listen a bit more intently.
