Nope! My father certainly wasn’t anti-gun, he was just a poor boy that couldn’t afford unnecessary firearms. He wasn’t a passionate hunter, and probably only went hunting a couple dozen times once he had a family. Most of his adult life he had 2 firearms.....a S&W Model 10 and a Winchester Model 12.

Though, he recognized my passion for hunting and firearms, and gave me my first gun for my 7th birthday....a Benjamin Pump in .177 caliber. This was the beginning of my desire to hunt as much as possible and to aquire a few firearms over my lifetime! memtb

You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel
