    I was 24, my first date with my now husband :)
    Shot his glock, and the damn thing kept jamming on me, apparantly I have weak wrists lol So he had me shoot some kind of revolver instead...I cant remember what it was for the life of me. It was so fun though!!

    26? I shot a .22, 12 gauge and 8 gauge and some kind of pistol. My BIL is a gun nut, so he had lots to choose from.

    I remember my shoulder looking like it had been hit with baseball bat the next day.

    I'm fine with guns for target shooting or hunting. I think it is a bit counterproductive for protection. Also there are a lot of idiots running around with guns. I can't say I feel safer for that.

    I was about 13 and beretta had some pistols out for test shots at a range I was working at. Then it continued into the military and now range shooting for fun. My son will be 7 this year and just got his .22

    I was around 16 years old. My first boyfriend used to take me out shooting for fun.

    My kids all learned much younger. My 6 year old knows how to shoot if someone holds it with her. My 13 yr old daughter started shooting at age 8 and my son at age 9/10. I wanted my children to know about guns from a young age so if ever in a position around one they know the danger in them and won't be curious.

    8ish. .22. Shooting gophers in ND. Got marksman in Air Force. They tried to say I cheated and had the ditz next to me shoot my target. Pretty sure she didn't get a shot off while she was crying.
