Why didn't Peggs like to shoot guns before?

I think most dirty hippies would warm up to guns after seeing a few friends devoured by the living dead. Her fear is of a different nature than the typical idealist. Maybe she watched her brother accidentally shoot himself as a kid, or she accidentally shot someone. This could produce the feeling that guns have a mind of their own.

maybe she got shot or something? or maybe in a previous zombie apocolypse, she got turned into a zombie, and people were chasing her with guns... then she got cured by jesus?

This might be one of the ridiculously amusing theories I've ever heard of in my life. Very rarely do things make me literally lol. Job well done sir!

Nik,
Do you think this thread should go Exit Stage Left since she's clearly pulled a 180 on the gun thing?

Perhaps, however there's still the possibility that a backstory explains why she didn't like to shoot guns so this can stay open for the time being. But for now, yes of course it doesn't necessarily apply anymore. Perhaps we change the title to keep up with the information.

So far she shot 1 person, and that was to protect her and michael, and it was a last resort. Now she shoots zombies. But zombies aren't people. She just broke her firearm cherry and she's now desensitized enuff to them in respect to protecting herself and others from the non-human threat.

Could she shoot another non-zombie? Doubt it. Atleast not without having a mental breakdown.

This issue is not over. Not by a long shot.

I'm a pacifist and one thing that bothers me about it is that it basically can only happen someplace where other people are defending you. It is a ethical stance that has its limits. As long as you have threats to security that are primal in nature (I want your stuff, and I want you to hurt and die) if no one responds with authority, you all hurt and die.
