I guess I've always just been interested in guns and knives. I grew up in the country and we were pretty poor, so a lot of my formative years were spent running around in the woods. Knives always came in handy and shooting kind of went hand in hand with that. I don't really hunt anymore, and am really not interested in carrying a firearm for personal protection. I just really enjoy going out and shooting as often as I can. I get some flak for being interested in firearms from some of my friends that did not grow up with the same type of experiences that I have had. They've been told all their lives that guns are bad, and they have no idea why anyone would be interested in them. After all, according to what they've been told, only rednecks and criminals find guns to be useful. Funny thing is, after I've taken most of them out and taught them how to shoot safely and properly, they make me promise to tell them the next time I go out. A few of them have actually purchased firearms as well.
