Mine was an overpriced Mossberg 500 with cheap ATI furniture. It's changed a few times in the 7 years I've had it, but it's something I could never get rid of.
There will be one. But I'm talking with my artist for a couple of slight changes before I get any more made.
30-30 from KMart. I was only 16, but got that first "real" paycheck, Dad did the paperwork, and for 139 dollars it was mine. Never killed a deer with it, pawned it to fuel an alcoholic binge, lol.
I like your Mosin story much better.
Glock 23 was my first. Then a .38 snubby. Then a .308 rifle. Then a H&R 12G. Started at the bottom Now we’re here
Makarov in 9x18 was my first pistol
RPK74 was my first rifle.
You meant first I shot?

I was living in CA when Sandy Hook happened. The hysteria was absolutely crazy... went up to my favorite local FFL and the walls that were once festooned with all sorts of black rifles were absolutely bare, save a lone Savage 110. At the time I felt like I was in good shape with what I had... about 16 AK mags of different types, maybe another 16 AR mags... I didn't sell much of anything really... bought a PSL in fact. Kept most of my stuff too.
Looking back, I really didn't have everything I could ever want (even though I thought I did). There's a lot of cool new product that has come out since then and it would be a shame if that stuff never came to fruition because of a ban. We might think we're good to go today because we're more or less happy with what we have at the moment, but's always subject to change.
First rifle was a Marlin 60 ..
First shotgun was a H&R single .410
First pistol was M&P 9
First can was Spectre II
First MG still waiting on the $ ship to arrive

First gun I owned was a Tec-9 I gave my dad money to buy for me when I was like 15. That or a Savage O/U .223/12Ga break open single shot. I don't remember which I had first.
First gun I bought for myself I believe was a Desert Eagle .44mag 2 tone. I paid $600 or $650 for it. I traded it for 2 brand new Rugers at a local gunshow, I got a P90 .45 and a P95DC in 9mm. And thought that was a fair trade bc they were selling for what I paid for the DE.
I did some small trading and then didn't own any weapons for over a decade. So the first one I bought after that was a Browning Hi Power Practical in .40.
Speaking of Hi Powers, I'd love to have a GP Competition but damnit are they expensive. My dad had 3 brand new ones when I was a teen.

It's an inanimate object. I'm sure some amount of Yugo surplus was used in genocide in the 90's. Heck, even the lowly Mosin Nagant you have stowed away could have been used to bayonet civilians. There's no way of knowing.
If you're so worried, get an Israeli K98k in .308 and rock that.
As in the Burton snowboard company? All my snowboard gear was mostly Burton over the years, good stuff. Might still have a jacket and a pair of pants or 2 packed away but most all our snowboard gear got lost (stolen) in our move from Colorado to Ga.
I've got so many jackets it's not funny and I gave some away when we left Colorado. Having to wear one 8+ months out of the year I guess I needed one for every occasion Lol.

JDS and I had a talk about this subject. He told me it's not the gun, it's the man behind the gun. When you hear it, it sounds so simple...I guess bc it is.
Yup. Guns aren't bad. People are bad.
I guess where el Shempeon is coming from is kind of like asking if you would live in a murder house. Maybe that pushes the edge of superstition a little more.

I've needed 3 different ones this week, funny you mention it bc I was just thinking about it when I was sitting in the car this morning. Needed the Carhart early in the week bc it was cold, weather warmed up so then I just wore my hoodie, and then today I needed my Gortex raincoat. Ga weather...If you don't like it, hang around for a day, it will change.
I wear Ralph Lauren cashmere coats to flex on poors.
Every day I drive a van in which my wife died, along the same route (hey, it is paid for!). So far, so good, not ghosts.

Oh, I get it completely. The subject came up the first time I met JDS. I don't think he'd mind me saying, I asked him how can he like AKs and other Commie weapons when he was literally being shot at by the enemy with them. I found it odd and couldn't really grasp his perspective until he told me that. It was an eye-opening moment for me, about him and about myself bc I would struggle occasionally with the negative history of some weapons.
I honestly don't remember the 1st gun I bought, I remember being issued a 3 prong flash suppressor M16, when I was 18. Then when I was going to college, I bought a few, but I don't remember the 1st one, maybe a MAC90 or SKS??? Glock 19?

I was in Colorado at the time and pretty much the same scenario. The state was already on a slippery slope and that set off panic buying like I had never seen before. I was pretty set but that's when my gun and ammo hording really started. Thought I was going to be there for a long time and knew things would get harder and harder to acquire as the years went on.
