Default Your shooting background

I know people who have grown up hunting and shooting at an early age. I know people who start later in life. I almost never shot, family doesn't like gns but I always had a fascination with them, shot a couple times with 22s in boy scouts when i was too young to remember. Then I shot in basic with the p229 DAKs, came home, now 18, and got an 870 and savage 22. Shoot with friends all the time. So I basically had to wait till age 18. Some of my friends on the other hand have been shooting since age 8 with 410s and 22s. When and how did yo start shooting?

At age 7 when my family moved from Kentucky (where there are only white people for as far as the eye can see) and I was given a single barrel .410 (the same one seen in Napolean Dynamite!) and a Browning .22 semi-auto rifle http://store.valueweb.com/vintagepap...alog/AB015.jpg

I've been around guns my whole life, and I figure the best way to instill good safety habits is to start teaching the child early in life

Totally agree. Most effective form of gun control there ever could be.

When I was living in Kentucky, we had an unlocked closet full of guns that was situated where no one really paid attention to it. I could have went in there and messed with them at any time, but even as a very young child I knew better
