I was born in 1954, grew up around guns (which were available in every rural hardware store, as was dynamite, fuse and caps). I recall learning with a .22 single shot, and getting to try Dad's Colt Woodsman, later his K-38. I suppose I started shooting around six. Noteworthy in regard to the current nonsense about toy guns, is the fact there was never a time I recall that I could not tell the difference between toy guns, actual firearms, and BB guns (and we had some nice metal caps guns in those days).
