So, a lighter thread....
When did you get into firearms? How old, and who was responsible for getting you into firearms?
Personally, coming from a military family, living in Alaska, I grew up around guns. Got my first rifle, a single shot, bolt action Springfield 22LR ( with scope, woo-hoo) when I was 6 or so. We had a range near our home and I have many fond memories shooting with my dad, brother and grandfather under the lights on weekends....That rifle felt like a cannon. When I was older, I went into a gun shop where they had the same model of rifle on consignment, it was a tiny little pee-wee junior gun! I regret to this day not buying it....
