I got my first handgun license when I was 22.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am a southerner who grew up with and around guns. I own some still. My father gave me a .22 rifle when I was 9 and a single barrel .410 shotgun when I was 10.
Starting at about, I guess, forever, I've always looked forward to getting older. When I was 14, I couldn't wait to be 16 and get a driver's license.
I was in the Navy as an enlisted man, started my first business when I was 21.
I was 20, I was an amateur from 14 but my first professional role was at 22.
At 18, I guarded the parking lot at the Catholic Church bingos. Now, my dad made sure I could take care of myself. I carried a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum - that gun weighed more than I did!
I knew, at a very young age, that I was supposed to be a gunfighter.
No matter where I go, in this country or outside of this country, there are young people, and I'm always surprised that young people know about me and Colt 45.
When I was 17, I signed my record deal and passed my driver's test. It was a very good year!
I got a car when I was 16. I didn't even have a driver's license.
I never saw a gun until I was 24. I didn't grow up in Mayberry; I grew up in Southern California.
