I came from a no gun background and no family or friends owning guns. I bought my first handgun and AR15 just a few months ago, I thought great I got my Glock and a black rifle, I'm a gun nut now..... how wrong I was.
I then found these forums and it's really infused my interest and passion in the hobbby and most importantly opened my eyes to politics.
Seeing the beauties and collections you guys have just drops my jaw. Made me regret not getting in to this hobby 17 years ago when I turned legal age. After being convinced on here to build my own AR, I've built 3 in different calibers since. After being convinced as reliable as the Glock is I need to open my horizons so I drosed a CZ, and I don't even want to look at the prices of 1911s and magnum caliber pistols yet. After people showing off your carbines I bought a Kriss Vector just to learn how gimped it is here in California. Plus all the expensive accessories like scopes and sights and mags and slings and multiple holsters for one gun.
I have a son that's 2 years old, I'm hoping to get him in to this hobby as I wish I had guidance at a younger age. With these ridiculous laws passing where I won't even be able to pass on a AR15 to my son is ridiculous and I wouldn't be surprised if it got more ridiculous where I wouldn't be able to pass a semi-auto handgun to him. I hope it gets better and will help fight for hopefully what is not a lost cause.
Thank you Calguns, I have learned so much more about firearms then I ever thought I would and have much to learn still. These forums are invaluable for our firearm community and for newcomers.
