I left a perfect fingerprint on the barrel of a smoking hot one. Took the outer layer of skin off in an instant and baked it onto the metal.
It was actually kind of tough to remove it and some still remains. Something about the oils in my skin reacting to the finish of the barrel maybe.
I grew up with guns,was actually a gun owner before I turned one because my great grandfather willed all of his outdoor equipment and literature,including guns to be given to me. He died 3 months after I was born. Living and growing up where I did in Northern Michigan all I did was wander the woods,camping,hunting and fishing.

You learned, like I did, hot stuff hurts.
Gravity makes you fall and get bruised.
Pointy things cut.
Don't drink stuff from containers under the sink.
You always had that fingerprint to remind you. It's as good as a scar.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
