My dad took me to the range when I was 10. I shot his SW model 41. I was hooked. I developed a fascination with guns.

Bought a Ruger 10-22 when I was 16.

One of my old man's friends taught me to handload when I was in college. I quickly became the ammo supplier to my brothers, dad


10 years later I started working as a cop. Spent a few decades as firearms instructor, armorer.

My dad is 82 now. I took the day off a few weeks ago and took him to the gun club.

Next time we are going to shoot that model 41
