shoot 'em up!
I didn't own a gun until Iwent into the service but, on many occaisions before that, I did use my uncle's (a retired police sgt.) .22 rifle. We'd go out to the sandpits and blast away at tin cans and such or go to the dump and shoot rats. I did have a matched set of Mattel "Fanner 50's", a Chuck "the Rifleman" Connors model rifle, a Davy Crockett "Ol' Betsey" and a variety of other toy guns. I also had a Red Ryder BB gun that was my favorite. Sometimes we'd buy WWII model ships, make them waterproof, then take them down to a pond or river and blast them with our BB guns, playing "shore battery".
My first gun was a Remington 870 12 guage. Then came the Winchester Canadian Centennial Model 30.30 lever action rifle, then a used Remington 10 guage, then a Ruger Model 1020 .22 cal. semi-auto rifle. I've since sold all those and now, due to my Rev War hobby, I have a Charleville 1767 model .69 flintlock musket, a Pennsylvania .50 flintlock rifle, and a .45 flintlock pistol.
And, yes, I do strongly support the 2nd Amendment.
