What age were you when you started carrying a gun?

As far back as when chamois was cool.

Great pic buddy. And by the way, chamois is still cool.

I guess I was 12 or 13. Late compared to some of you but my pops felt like a BB gun in the hands of a kid was a problem. I started with a Remington 552 that I still have to this day, then a Fox 20ga SXS and finally a Remington Model 11 to hunt with. My first real dove shoot it was ball feezing cold and my fingers were so numb and raw that I had a hard time feeding those shells into the gun. Dern shoulder still has a tick thinking about the beating that old metal butt plate put on it that day. Good memories of hunting with my dad, thanks for bringing that one back up. Sure do miss Dad these days, though I'm sure he's laughing his ass off at me and these two boys of mine.
