Tell me when you first shot a gun. Who taught you about guns? What is your favorite gun? Which would appeal to you more, shooting a criminal breaking into your home or shooting an animal for food if you were starving?
My first gun was a bb gun which I first shoot when I was 6. After that it was a .22 bolt action rifle my dad had gotten when I was 8. I don't know what kind it was, it was old and short but in good shape. We didn't do much shooting with it and all I remember is one time. He showed me how to hold it and to keep my finger off the trigger but that is all I remember. It was right before he got with my step mother and she really didn't like when he would do things like that with us.
When my husband and I got married, he only had a .22 savage rifle and would take me hunting with him. He was the one who really showed me how to shoot and taught me the safety rules.
My first time shooting a hand gun was in 06, it was a Taurus 24/7 9mm. We had just gotten back on our feet and my husband was able to get himself a handgun and his carry permit. I loved shooting it! We then started getting another handgun, a Taurus PT111, which is also a 9mm and my carry permit. The PT111 is the one I carry now.
The first time I shoot a shot gun was also with my husband. It was a 410 and didn't really have much of a kick. We then got a 20 gage, it kick alittle more and I love it. We now have two 12 gages and I sometimes crave shooting them. 😀 We keep buck shot in them for home defence.
We also have a 30-30 for dear hunting, just got it in March. And now my husband has just gotten himself an AR-15. I have not shot it yet but he has about 12 rounds(we had to leave the range due to rain). I can not wait to try it out.🙂
I would say my favorite is the 12 gage shot gun with buck shot, I have not tried shooting a slug yet, however, I am itching to do so. 😀

I hope you keep them away from your childern. There was an incident a long time ago in my grannys neighbourhood where a boy shot his best freind, he found the gun under his dads pillow and thought it was a toy.

We are needing to get one of those bio-safes that read our finger prints to open it. We can program a few finger prints which would only be mine and my husbands. The bio-safe would make is faster to get to them if it is needed.
Originally posted by pritybettaGood to know you take that seriously. I never heard of these finger print safes, they sound great.

in addition to what yo said i find it also disturbing. but since your parents bought you a gun when you were 6, i guess it is really not entirely your fault. sure, give a bb gun to a 6 year old maybe she will check the barrel and see if the bb is still in there and blind herself in the process. sure, give a bb gun to a child and let him shoot pigeons. there are plenty of them critters.
on a side note, and correct me if i missed something or added anything, considering you didn't throw away the old firearms, you own a hunting rifle, 2 handguns(the two bulls), 3 or four shotguns, a deer hunting rifle and one ar-15(hope it is not a bazooka).
are you ##%$#!& me? is this normal behaviour for a human being that lives in a country that is supposedly civilized? as a god fearing christian, what would you say to a homosexual who craves sex with another man when you crave to shoot shotguns.
of course, i as a euro who knows not what he is talking about(i think this is the expression no1marauder used to characterize europeans) have one opinion. and as yo said, i cannot understand yours
