My dad did not hunt or own/shoot guns. I did have a Daisy BB gun, but I shot my first real gun and hunted with my stepdad (Deer and Rabbit) when I was 12. Didn't go off the deep end collecting until I was 28, been on a terror ever since 30+ years. Took my dad to his first gun show and to a range to shoot two years ago when he was 80. At that show he bought a 20 ga shotgun for home defense. One of my daughters deer hunts with me every year.
