I started late I guess. Firstly, I don't "collect" guns, every gun I own serves a purpose and is used every year for hunting or self defense, but this maybe why I didn't start buying guns until later. Not that I have anything against collecting, someday I might do it someday.
I didn't buy my first gun until about 2007 when I was back from the Corps and 28 years old. So I think that I got a much later start then most. I bought these guns in this order:
1.) Benelli SBE II Shotgun (2008) - Use it for duck, goose, pheasant and grouse hunting.
2.) Browning X-Bolt Stainless Rifle (2010) - Use it for deer hunting, hopefully elk, bear and other big game animals later.
3.) SW Bodyguard .380 Pistol (2011) - Use it for CCW everyday.
4.) SW MP15X Tactical AR15 (2011) - Use as a patrol rifle for work.
So that made me think, when did you buy your first rifle and how old were you?
