OK, I fit in this category. I was a non-gun owner until about 6 years ago. I didn't grow up with them. I didn't know anyone who had one. I never saw one shot ever. I only saw them on policeman and in movies. 'Middle-class kid from a yuppie suburban background.
I was your typical non gun owner.
I bought my first SIG P229 9mm out of curiosity "just for the heck of it" about 6 years ago. I got hooked. I couldn't understand why society shunned this activity and I've collected guns ever since.
Six years and several guns later (mostly Smith revolvers now), I'm a happy gun owner. I still frequent my yuppie circles, and most of my friends don't shoot, but I have my guns. I don't participate in any formal gun activities and don't hunt, but I do visit my local gun range now and then.
Anyone else fit this category? I'm sure several people do (but I don't know how many would participate in a gun enthusiast forum.)
