Yes indeed. Where to begin... I have the first pistol I ever shot. I was about 6 or 7 and Dad had bought a Ruger Standard and he and my Grandfather were on the front porch (in town!) shooting into a pile of newspapers when I decided to see what all the commotion was. Dad squatted beside me and helped me hold and aim. I hit the papers...probably. I also have the first rifle I ever shot; a Model 67 Winchester which Dad had cut down a bit. Then there's a Colt Woodsman which was my maternal Grandfather's and a few others. Plus a few that Dad built which will definitely be passed on with their history.
