Well I have been making holsters for knifes,swords and guns since about I was 10 or 12. Learned leather craft in VBS!, started fixxing guns (for real)about the same time. Had to, I liked to take them apart and see how the worked.
My dad was not happy about that. Don't get me wrong I knowed what a gun could do,a gun was allways loaded,never point one at anything you did not want to kill and don't "play" with a gun when I was alot younger the 10 or 12. Sorry for rammbling.
