TBO, i never cared much for guns until a few years ago a polite young african american male came into my job to rob it of merchandise and money. he thought the best way to get my cooperation would be to put a mossberg in my mouth. this guy was clumsy and just as nervous as i was.
ever since then i wanted to learn how to use, fire, clean, and assemble every gun someone would be kind enough to let me learn on. i am not the guy grabbing guns, shooting off a few rounds, and tossing them in the closet. I don't drink so getting drunk and shooting shotguns in the country is not my bag of tea.
I shoot competitively with my family in a shooting range that we are members of. My aim is to learn how to properly fire, learn to compensate for and adjust sights at this stage.
the reason for learning the working s and firing methods of the weapons is not meant to be used against anyone in a violent manner, but only to be prepared if i am ever placed in a situation where someone might want to control me with a weapon. I feel the experience I have gathered myself will help me maintain composure and control of a situation like the first if it were to occur again.
As far as wanting to own a .50 caliber sniper rifle... Well that's just because I can afford it, as far as things you buy maintaining value, this has every car in it's price range beat, and with an effective firing range of a mile, the effort of putting together a group, finding a suitable range, setting up, and practicing, i'll probably rarely ever get it out. Well way less than my handgun anyway. :D
