One of my first major interest was firearms. I still have a love for fine antique 17th-18th century guns. In that time frame, firearms were an expression of art of the highest order. I have a few fine examples in my collection.

Shoot, I own long guns, they are in fact designed to kill, but I've re-purposed them. Target shooting is a fun pastime.

I owned a 16 guage shotgun as a teenager. My Special Forces Team used AR-15's, UZI's and M-79's. Since leaving the army i've bird hunted a couple of times. I'm familiar with firearms but i think that the obsession with weapons in the US is appalling and that the NRA is evil incarnate.

Many threads, all contentious and political in nature.
Anyway, back to the topic...
Interest and proficiency in firearms is no different to me than organic gardening, stained glass work, carpentry, scuba diving, or building an anchor.
Lots of black powder folks... Interesting. I had a TC Hawken, but just didn't shoot it often. I still have a repro 1860 Army, I cast balls for it, and enjoy shooting it.

So that the next time Ron is attacked by a meth-ed out tube of biscuit dough, he can give it four in the butt & two in the head faster than you can say 'Poppin Fresh!'

Edited to add:
Before I get labeled some gun hatin' pinko liberal, let it be known that I own the following:
.50 cal Knight endloader muzzleloader (I prefer the endloader style for hunting as the caps do not get wet as easily and the hammer design is just simpler to work with than the more traditional hammer style shown upthread. My dad has a Hawken .50 cal, nice gun but the endloader is more modern).
20 ga over/under Investarm, excellent rabbit gun, taken many deer too
Remington 7mm mag rifle
Ruger .22
no handguns

I owned a 16 gauge shotgun as a teenager (JD)
So did I. A "sweet sixteen" single barrel - single shot. Loved it. Gave it away recently to my stepdaughter.
At one time I belonged to the NRA, but they are now too radical for me.
Didn't have much to do with sidearms or rifles or shotguns in the military, but lots of A-bombs close by.
