I grew up rurally in the south, so I was raised around guns by default. The adult men in my family had at least 3 or 4 guns each, and I’m probably low balling. I got a BB gun around 7 or 8 years old, I loved shooting cans and got really accurate. I kind of got bored of it over time, I don’t own any guns now and haven’t shot anything larger than a BB gun in decades.
Most of my family does hunt, though. It’s a nice break on the grocery bill if you have the patience for it and a good place to do it. A truck isn’t necessary but it’s definitely a lot easier than shoving a dead deer in a car trunk.
