I've been around guns most of my life, my mum coming from an Army background and boy scouts.
In scouts we broke the rules a little, i think there is a limit to what guns you can and can't shoot. But I shot, .223's, black powder, 12 gauge, M1 grand, AR's, M4s. I few other ones too. The man who let us shoot these was a lawyer, his basement was gun heaven, He was the only man i missed from my troop.
My father owes a .44, .22, and a 12 gauge, i want to try and get into a trap league at the range we belong too.
