My first gun was a .410 single Stevens - my Dad turned it over to me when I was 12; he got the gun new, when he was 12. I shot Doves, a duck or two, rabbits, and bushy tails with it. I still have it of course. It is now my go to Grackle gun.

At 15 I got my first Hand Gun, a S&W Model 10, and my first Rifle a M-1 Carbine - I still have them also.

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
