Dad set up a shipping crate in the basement when I was 9 or 10, pulled out a lever action Marlin 22lr and let me bang away. Mom was NOT happy...
Not much until the Marine Corps...qualed really well, but never gothte bug...
I finally (for a short while ) have some money in the bank and a subscription to the Washington Post, when I start getting (more) riled up over Sarah and HCI spouting their BS...and then it hits me that I'm an adult, and can buy whatever I d@mn well please...so I can directly blame Sarah and her pea-brained pals...Oh, the irony.
The rest is history...

My own determination...
I begged for an air rifle for years, and finally got one when I was around 13. Dad always had a revolver that was his father's and a rifle that was his father-in-law's around the house, but had no real interest in them. Then I finally decided to get one when I needed a job and the only thing I could find was working for my friend's brother's security company.

I don't even remember a time when there was not a gun at or near every door in the old farmhouse where I was raised, but I was told that Mom told Dad that the guns had to stay locked up between the time I started crawling up until I displayed a respect for the guns. I think that by the time I was 4-5, they both knew that I had a firm understanding of the killing potential of every gun in the house, including the unloaded ones.
Ancient family tradition was my introduction to guns. My family have been hunters since before time began. It has always been part of us, and will always be part of us. Its our lifestyle and a core element of our beliefs. No doubt the ACLU will protect us from discrimination... right...
Up until the Klinton Aministration, I was only interested in shotguns and deer rifles. Other than an interest in revolvers due to LEO experience, I only wanted to hunt.
Then the Anti-Constitution liberal left wingers started pissing me off. Since then, I have accumulated numerous handguns and long guns, including the Evil Black Rifle. I will continue to accumulate such artifacts as long as possible and as often as possible due to the half-azzed and anti-intellectual attacks by these sub-human morons.
So, other than familial hunting influence, the liberals have gotten me interested in guns. Guess their efforts aren't working very well, eh?

The TLA I worked for wanted me to work CN ops in Peru & some other places. I said fine. They said I had to learn to shoot. So I did. That was in the early 80's. I'm still learning!

My uncle took me for my first shoot when I was about 8. I remember shooting a Ruger 10/22, BHP, and Colt 1911. I've been hooked ever since, and each year since then when he'd come to visit we'd go shooting. Since I've turned 18, I have my own stuff and I can go shooting whenever I want, and my uncle and I still have our annual outing.

Two People-
my father in-law, and my brother in-law. Both are avid
gun collector's; plus the brother in-law hunts on some
occassion's, when his job doesn't have him tied up.
After seeing the collection's of these two individual's,
I knew that this was the path that I wanted to pursue!

My parents are by no means anti, but neither have much interest.
