Ive been wondering how many of you are alone when it comes to people you know & guns. I was always interested in guns as a kid and had absolutly no exposure to them. I bought my first gun when I turned 21, a Ruger 9mm. It started as a hobby but soon led to a lifestyle where I obtained a CHL and over the years have bought about a dozen weapons. I carry whenever possible and have learned so much over the years, but I have done it all alone. I don't really have many friends, mostly hang around my family and my In-laws, the only person that has any intrest in guns is my younger brother in law (19yr old) who has been my best friend and has taken to guns. Even has a good practical collection going. But if it weren't for me he'd be the same as the rest.
Other than him however I don't know anyone who takes it serious like I do and Im sure all of you do as well. The internet and magazines are where all of my knowlege has come from, everything else has been self taught.
Now I have got a good sized family in the area and for the most part they are all sheeple. Not against guns or the use of them, just kinda indifferent. Most of them all own one but it is the kind that gets buried in the closet and never gets used. They just don't understand why a person would have more than one gun or even carry one around all the time!
Ive talked to them about it but they just don't seem to care. And I really wish they would, they just have no intrest. Its taking years to get my wife to the point where she has her own gun for (home) defense. But she always thinks Ill be there to protect her, which I cant. Obviously.
I guess the point Im getting at is I have enough guns to lend to all my family members that dont have any but a weapon isn't much good in someones hands that dosen't know how to use it. Most of them seem content that Im around and Ill be able to protect them or they can dig out their closet and find their unloaded gun to protect them.
Just interested, are any of you in this situation?
