Brad Pitt doesn't feel safe without a gun

Actor Brad Pitt says he doesn't feel safe unless he has a gun hidden somewhere in his house and feels owning a firearm is "in his DNA" as an American.

The 48-year-old said he is protective about his family and feels safe owning a weapon, reported Daily Mail.

"America is a country founded on guns. It's in our DNA. It's very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don't feel safe, I don't feel the house is completely safe, if I don't have one hidden somewhere. That's my thinking, right or wrong," Pitt said.

The actor also talked about out how he was exposed to guns from an early age but still turned out to be a responsible adult.

"I got my first BB gun when I was in nursery school. I got my first shotgun by first Grade (six years old), I had shot a handgun by third Grade (eight) and I grew up in a

pretty sane environment," he said.
