An interesting question for me because I have no idea how I ever got interested in firearms. Nobody in my immediate family shoots or hunts nor gives a hoot about guns. Yet, at a very early age (guessing around age ten or so), I became very interested in firearms (all kinds; from air guns, to black powder to AR-15s) and, at age seventy, have never looked back. It's just in my blood I guess (there have been times when I've wondered if I might be an adopted child...
).
