A thread recently made me think this might be a good topic, who was your initial influence that got you started or made you interested in firearms collecting and shooting guns?
For some it would be grandpa or dad on hunts or on the farm taking care of critters and land/food plots, for others it may be Josey Wales or some other outlaw character or an untold number of westerns, lawmen vs bad guys, action films, etc...
My uncle was the one who really exposed me to firearms and when I was sent there as a kid, I could pull out any number of different handguns after I was able to show that I understood safety, function and basically as soon as my thumbs were strong enough to load mags, he'd let me take them out unsupervised which was pretty awesome at about 10 or 11 years old.
