When Did You Start To Use A Gun?

I was raised around them.
Shot my first bottle with a 22 rifle when I was five.
My dad made sure we were all educated on gun safety.
Lets say that I have a few.

I started when i was about 9.. I was living on a farm in Australia and so having a gun was pretty normal.. I have owned a few hunting rifles and after about 10 years i became an excellent shot.. Not being big headed either i am just stating a fact i was a very good shot... I had a good quality Rugar 223 stainless steel rifle with a top quality scope and it was well zeroed in...

Not many pigs of foxes got away if they where close enough for me to take a shot at them.. And i spent some holidays shooting for farmers out west when they had Roo culling quotas from the government.. i knocked down more then a few Roos while they where on the move jumping.. I used to time it to hit them while they where mid jump in the air..

I don't shoot anymore because after you achieve the challenges then there is no challenge left and it can become very boring, even mechanical, like you are a robot..

I was 8. My uncle in Texas let me shoot his .22.

I fired 22-caliber rifles at an outdoor rifle range during the summers, when I was 12-16 years old.

That was it.

A real gun in the 7th grade. My friend bought one from another kid in school . We walked down by the train tracks and shot it there.

Age 10. My Dad gave me a single shot .22, and was only allowed to handle it under supervision.

I started with .22 rifle when I was 6. Began shooting pistols at 8. It's still my favorite thing to do.

I started shooting a .22 rifle at 8 but I grew up rural on a farm too. Where its legal to shoot on our own property. Naturally taught gun safety measures, how to clean and other common sense (to most people) safety measures.

"All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, better run, better run..........................."

i was able to walk at around 2-1/2....when i was eight i shot squirt guns at my friends. when i was 12 i shot a bb gun...when i was 14 i shot a "smurf" with a shot gun but missed... now in my age i hope i don't start shooting blanks....cheers

My dad taught me to shoot a single shot bolt action.22 rifle when I was eight years old. We started hunting small game together when I was ten. He bought me a high quality .22 target rifle when I was fourteen, and I began to shoot competitively.

When I was about 9 or 10, I fired a rifle at a cardboard target while spending time at a hunting lodge, one winter.

I was raised with them and would go hunting as young as five going on deer drives.

I was raised with all kinds of weapons, Knifes of all sizes, swords, bows, hand guns, rifles shot guns.

Not a weapon nut, but I respect weapons

I shot a bb gun when I was a kid. But that belonged to a family friend. They're not my thing.

When I was 12 in vacation visiting my cousin in Mexico

Not American. Never handled one.

My Dad gave me an H&R 20 gauge shotgun when I was 10 years old. I still have it.

My mom insisted that I not be allowed to handle a gun until I was 12. At least, not a real one that shot real bullets. My dad got me a BB gun earlier than that, and I was allowed to plunk tin cans.

Once I was older, I was allowed to learn on his .22 rifle, But we didn't have any other guns. The only other experience I have with guns of any kind was when I was over at a friend's apartment, stoned off my ass, and we went over to his grandpa's house. Old man was crazy. Not 100% in a good way. Racist as fuck. But he liked me, And he asked me if I wanted to shoot off his 12 gauge. Being stoned as I was, I didn't brace it properly. Shoulder still hurts, 20 years later.

Around 9 or ten.
