Arms and the American West
I was 14 years old when I first shot a gun. My family and I were at the local rod and gun club and I had just received my first gun safety lesson from an instructor. With my junior NRA rifle handbook under my arm, I took the .22 rifle that my dad had given me and went to the range. There were some boys there that I knew, also shooting, and I was vaguely interested in one of them. I took my first shots at the target.
