What got you into handguns? 2nd Amendment? Or just liked to shoot?

Ive been around shooting my whole life. My father and uncles are all former military so they taught me young. I was born with a cap gun in one hand.

I was always more of a precision shooter and hunter, but had some time with handguns and some sporting clays too.

I slacked off on my shooting during the college years, and only shot prior to hunting season through my 20s. In my late 20s i really got back to shooting, and in a big way, but the pistol permit process was so absurd i didnt bother with it for a number of years. Eventually, i bit the bullet and started the permit process.

Wow, Celt, your story seems almost identical to mine. Grew up shooting, mostly .22s and when a little older advancing to the hunting rounds (.308 and .30-.06). Didn't get around to it much during college years and then in late 20s got back into it in a big way, mostly through getting my permit and getting bit by the handgun bug. Probably a bigger gun nut now than anyone else in my family, minus my uncle who lives in Wyoming, mostly so he can own any gun he damn well pleases.
