My first gun was a Daisy lever action bb gun if that counts. I was 6 years at the time. At 15 I had a 22 h&r pistol and a Webly 45 acp conversion. My father worked for the army and could get me 45s and 22 long ammo.
My first gun was a Montgomery Ward, single shot 410 that my father was raised on, when he gave it to me at age 8 he still had some of the paper shells that he had as a kid. The next gun was a winchester 22 lever action, and at 14 I stole his Rimington 870 so with the money from a summer job I purchased my OWN shootgun at age 15 an Ithaca SKB 12 gauge auto loader, and a couple dozen guns sence then.
Couldn't vote as you don't have an age bracket young enough. Used my lawnmowing and hayfield money to buy my first shotgun at 13 or 14. Western Auto 16 gauge pump shotgun. Sold it to make the down payment on my wife's engagement ring and have never let her forget it.:image035:
first .22 at seven, first shotgun and 30-30 at 12, deer hunted with grams .44 carbine at 10. first gun I bought was at 19. unless you count giving my dad the money to buy my 30-30 at an auction. I'm 31.
Not counting my Red Ryder BB gun, I didn't actually buy my first gun until a year ago. All my guns/rifles previous to that were handed down or willed to me.
The first gun I bought myself was a 22 Ruger pistol when I was 19. And, I had no business having that gun. I was pretty wild back then. Luckly, nothing bad happened.
I am older than dirt now and much more responsable. A little smarter too. :duh:
technically the first gun I bought was when I was 17 after there had been a string of armed robberies locally. I didn't keep it long and the next gun I legally purchased I was 31.
First gun was in my early 20's, H&R single shot 12 gauge. Then nothing for about 10 years, of course 4 of that was spent in Germany. Right after I got back (I was 30) bought my Ruger Mark II and a Ruger Blackhawk .357 as well as a Marlin model 75c .22. Collection has continued since then.
first two guns were presents from my dad(he was never into gunswhile i was growing up, and has now found the enjoyment of them through our playin cowboy in his town hes built up in his back yard), a .44 1860 army blackpowder revolver, then a winchester model 94 30-30. the first gun i bought was a remington 870 12 guage
