I was not raised with a hunting rifle in my hand, nor did my father give me a .22 at the age of ten. I did, however, grow up taking martial arts.
When I was a teenager, not only did a family member get violently robbed, but my teenage sweetheart, Christy, was robbed twice at gunpoint! This made me realize that I needed to do more to protect the ones I love. I picked up an old 1911 and a shotgun at the age of twenty and learned how to use them.
Then, in 1996 I married my teenage sweetheart! Now eighteen years later, our combined love of the shooting sports has given us a hobby we can do "together". To top that off, we have the ability to protect each other and our families as well.
