My first was also a Ruger 10/22. Fun rifle but my grandmother wouldn't fork over the transfer fee to send it from Florida to Oregon, so it sadly sits in it's case down there, rusting away. Makes me sad.
I haven't "bought" any of my guns since I'm not of age to buy handguns from dealers so my parents have bought them for me, but I earned my money by doing housework to pay for my Springfield 1911A1. I still think the Browning constitutes my first purchase though, since I worked an actual job for the money to pay for it. My first legitimate purchase from a dealer though has yet to come. I'll have to hold out until I'm 21 to buy a handgun or buy a rifle, but of course I need money to do either.....
