Sort of - my dad was pretty much a shotgun and revolver guy, he used them as tools though, although he was a very good shot with practically any firearm he never did much with them besides hunt .
I am the oldest of 4 boys and he started us all of right - when each of us were 6-ish we got a BB gun, then for our 10th birthday we got a 22 rifle.
Being "gunny" almost seems to be a genetic thing though, I can remember at a very young age (pre-school) I was interested in firearms and to this day the interest has never waned. My next youngest brother is like I am - gunny from the start and has always had an interest in them, the next youngest is like my dad, he uses them but they are just tools. And my youngest brother has no interest whatever in them.
