LOL! That’s your story and your sticking to it I’m sure. ;-)
My dad was a Detroit cop and he used to let my brother and I shoot his service revolver at the lakes. I shot the M1 in the USAF, then later as a civilian. I shot M14 s, M16s, UZIs and AK47s. I bought my first handgun in 2007, a HiPoint 9mm and then I got a .38 S&W (my carry weapon).
