    one of thoese pump-up air powered BB guns when I was 9

    Although if that doesn't classify as a gun, then a bolt action 22lr (no idea what make) at my grandparents farm or boy scout summer camp...can't remember..

    I honestly can't remember the first gun I shot. I can't remember not shooting. My guess would be one of the older .22's that we kept on the farm. I know I was shooting a 12Ga at a young age.

    A .22 bolt action single shot rifle on the farm in Dyer. Purchased at a small hardware store in Dyer when I was around 9 or 10.

    Old Smith and Wesson 32-20...Thanksgiving, down in Greene County circa 1966 or so...Pop bought this right after WW2. I think it dates to the 20's.

    My dad kept this by his bed for years..As kids, we knew it was there, but never messed around with it...(OK, maybe once or twice..:cool:)

    Cool thing is I still have it!

    I think it was my dad's old .22 squirrel rifle, when I was 12. I then got to shoot his 20 gauges that same day.

    Thus began my love affair with guns!
