I do not have a single relative who owned or shot a gun. Sometimes things can work backwards. My son bought a shotgun (at the time he lived on the left coast whereas I live on the right coast) and he suggested I do the same. Three months of waiting for my Firearm ID in NJ and I bought one. I knew absolutely nothing about guns and my son checked it out on the internet and said "Dad, go buy a Mossburg 500." So I did, found a place to shoot skeet, three months later got talked into buying a new 687 Sproting Clays II,a few months later a used Citori with all the tubes and two years later discover the world of SxS and sporting clays. Boy, did I get hooked!

The Mossburg is now a slug gun.

So many guns, so little time!
