My father gave me an old Mossberg bolt action .410 shotgun for my 7th birthday. I was awfully proud that day, still love that gun. It's been in the family for about 50 years now. My first handgun was a Glock 21 (full size .45) that I got for Christmas a couple of years ago. I love that gun too. Come to think of it, I love all my guns...
-Dostoevsky
