Where did you buy your first gun?

[Viper22]

My first firearm was a S&W Model 36 - given to me by my grandfather. He carried it as a back-up when he was a LEO and later CLEO.

The first firearm I purchased: a Mosin Nagant M44 from ZHA.

S&W MP40C from First Defense...Good gun, Great shop.

 

[Skald]

Norinco JW15A .22 LR rifle at M&M's in Plymouth when they were in Cordage Park.

Number 2 will ALWAYS be the rifle I remember purchasing til the day I die. Bought an SKS from M&Ms. Turns out I fit the description of a VERY VERY bad person and they sent a LOT of police to interogate me.

It is not reassuring when you see a police officer walking up to your car, hand on his gun and shaking like this is the end of his life and the friend saying to you "Dude, don't ****ing sneeze cuz I think they got SWAT out on us." (Besides the 4 cruisers a UPS type truck pulled up hard and fast with them.

And even though this thing happened. Once it was confirmed I was not the guy in question, the officer thanked me for beging cooperative and apologized for what happened.

2 SS Ruger Vaqueros 38/357 cons # transferred from Kempf Gun Shop Michigan City IN to Sparky's Guns in Webster MA. I felt like a proud papa picking those pistolas up. Never forget it. Made believe I knew what I was doing. Sparky knew different, but he let me have my day.
