Allie, Roseburg, OR. DWM Luger military model of World War I period, in 9mm Parabellum.

Guns can be about finding confidence and gaining a sense of accomplishment."

Pamela, Monte Sereno, CA. Freedom Arms .454 Casull. "I've had several men mention to me that the .454 Casull kicks too much for them. My response is that they're fighting it too much."
Jessica, Bozeman, MT. Abercrombie & Fitch 20-gauge side-by-side. "I'll never forget the first time my father put a .22 in my hands."
