And just so people do not get the wrong idea about me (never happens, I promise...)
I only target shoot, and collect. I do not hunt (no time or desire, I do like eating wild game though!) and I do not carry a gun (need to do the concealed carry class). Just another hobby, and I like the weird and wonderful mechanical designs that various guns have! Plus guns generally go up in price, so it is a bit of an investment.
Ah, I got my very first pistol, last year at this time. A brand spanking new Spingfield XDm 9mm with 2 free extra magazines! I don't shoot it much as I don't feel like blowing $20 for ammo at Wal-mart often, but its alot of fun. If 19 9mm rounds doesn't kill someone, I dont' see what will :P
See what I did to my step folks old computer with it
