Is it normal to be scared of guns?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to feel scared of guns. They can cause serious harm, so being wary is a reasonable response—not something you need to get over.

Guns can feel frightening because they’re dangerous, and news, personal experiences, or simply not being familiar with them can make that fear stronger. Plenty of people feel uneasy around them; others feel more comfortable, often because of their background or experience.

You don’t have to handle or be around a gun to prove anything. If one is nearby and you feel unsafe, move away and tell someone you trust. If the fear is taking over parts of your life, it may help to talk it through with someone supportive.
