Mine is two fold: My ex-stepdad got me into hunting which in turn got me into rifles and shotguns at about 12 years old. I got my first 20 gauge on my 13th birthday and my first 30-30 rifle on my 15th birthday. I was never interested in handguns until my dad (ex-LEO) bought me a .38 revolver and took me to the range to shoot it. A few months later, I went into the Air Force as a Security Specialist and had to become proficient on all types of weapons. I got expert ribbons for several small arms, including M-16, .38 and 9mm. I also got to shoot weapons like the .50cal, .81mm mortar and stinger missile. My love for ALL types of weapons just grew from there.
