Not I but We were given a kick aise gun @ age 17 with a sawed off Shotty DB old school ,blowing holes in garbage cans brings back years of memories. I don't even see my old school boys from then. Had a little .22 pistol too @ that time.All gone now besides my New Shotguns with pistol grip and a 15 year old AK put together with a Bannanana clip n round clip Put together that I will NEVER let go it is a old school Put together in breafcase.Been 10 years since I have even pulled it outta the case though. First time shooting it blew me all over the place I only weighed 150 lbs @that time.And it just sprayed everywhere.. Lol

You might want to give Tannerite a try if you enjoy blowing stuff up when you shoot at it.  It can also be detonated in other ways if you are creative.  Tannerite is a binary explosive used primarily as a target for firearms practice, and is unique in that it is exceptionally stable when subjected to less severe forces such as a hammer blow or being dropped. It is supplied as two powders which are combined to produce the explosive.  Tannerite detonations occur at a very high velocity, producing a large explosion and cloud of water vapor. 

Since the two components are not explosive until mixed, they can legally be purchased and used in the USA without any kind of license. Storage of the mixed Tannerite for commercial purposes may fall under federal regulation unless stored in approved magazines.  I'm a big pyrotechnical enthusiast (4th of July is my favorite holiday).  So if you are familiar with the electronic, remote detonators for multiple fireworks.... well, you know.  /default_wink.png S-

Good stuff to know.

I think I got a bb gun from Santa when I was 10, I cant recall if it was a red rider or not. A daisy?

I had a BB gun at 16 but in the UK we don't have much gun ownership.

BB gun at 12. Then hunting rifles and shotguns at 15.  All of which included state required safety courses prior to touching and using.

I must be the only hippie around here who doesn't own a firearm.

Guns and Birkenstocks just don't mesh well, do they?
