            When I was 8 or so, I bought (with my own money) a Colt single-shot bolt action rifle (probably was the Colteer, but I don't remember). My parents allowed me to keep the rifle under my bed, but kept the bolt...

            Much later (when I was 24 or so) I bought a Phoenix Arms, HP22 handgun...

                My Dad bought me for Christmas a Remington 512X .22lr which at that time was only $.50 per box of 50

                    Do BB guns count? My parents bought me a Daisy back in '67 or '68. Took it away from me when I shot my little brother with it! First "real" gun was a S&W 9mm.

                      Remington 870. Bought it myself. Then my dad got me a 10/22 a few months later for Christmas. To be honest, I don't really like the Ruger but I'll never sell it for that reason.

                          I bought my very first gun , Colt Mustang Plus II, 20 years ago. It's still in mint condition and now it's my wife's first & only handgun.

                              Received a 20 gauge 870 and Remington 788 .243 when I was in junior high school from my dad. That 788 is scary accurate.

                              The first handgun I purchased was a Glock 17
