Question

Signific. quote "In the time i realize that my father who never ever shot a gun, is the bravest man ever live"

Answer 1

It means that you are far braver to not give in to animal instincts and violence. If you need no gun to protect yourself it means you have enough brains to know you can do without and know how to use the brain you have to figure other ways out. Gun is the easy way out of the coward who will not use his head to protect his and other people's life.

Answer 2

Meaning that , in time, the person figured out that his father was brave because he handled problems without resorting to violence, although that was probably a difficult and dangerous thing to do.

Answer 3

Other than having to shoot the mad dog, Atticus Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird) didn't need to use a fire arm to quell the disturbance outside the jail, abeit with a little help from Jem, Dill and Scout. When Bob Ewell spit in his face, Atticus merely wiped off his cheek and walked away. Ewell was more humiliated by the rebuff. I'm assuming that you were referring to the above book.
