Like most people their first gun was something given to them by their father. In my case, I'm the first one in the family who grew up and became a gun addict with no family influence. My dad had a single shot shotgun witch he still has, but that was just for putting down an animal on the farm. I never even owned a .22 rifle growing up. My first ever fire arm was a Springfield XD witch i purchased the day i got my CWP, so at age 21 i finally had something i could use to defend my life with.
A Savage single shot, shotgun for hunting.
Mossberg 500 18in. barrel. Bought at age 18 for my high school graduation. Anti-gun family was not too happy. Oh well

Ruger 10/22 many many years ago when I was 12
I had shot guns owned by my father prior to owning my first gun, including a Gov't 1911a1, a Tokarev TT33, S&W hand ejector .38 special revolver, a Ruger Mk I and Bearhawk .22LR, an 8mm Mauser, 7.62x39 SKS, Marlin lever action, Beretta Silver Hawk 12 gauge side-by-side, and others (all inherited, and mine now) but the first weapon I owned, was the one my father bought for me when I was about 14, which was a Marlin model 25 .22LR bolt action, with a very nice leather sling. I still have it to this day. Great little rifle, and very accurate.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

The first gun I ever owned was a Marlin 336 that my Dad got for me for Christmas when I was 15 or 16. It still is one of my favorite rifles. I'm 32 now and it still looks NIB.
