I've always been around guns, had guns around me. I grew up being tought a healthy respect. I would get a woopin' for pointing my cap gun at anyone or anything living. Started shooting at about 4 or 5 and never realy looked back. I could be trusted to use a rifle or pistol on my own by the time I was in junior high. I remember the first time that I saw on a movie when the cops found a gun on a guy and he protested "Hey I've got a permit for that", I looked at my dad and said "daddy, what does he mean a permit for a gun?" He just said "alot of yankee states make you get one"
. Well I guess that we've come full circle, dang yankees.
