Went down a rabbit hole.

I started shooting in more of a regular frequency when I started getting into USPSA competition shooting back in, gosh, 2017.

Don't laugh too hard, Tony.

Back in the day, yeah, it was around 2019 when I started getting into competition shooting.

And then from there, I just really fell in love with it.

And yeah, I've kind of just been a gun lover since.

Raised conservative, Christian household.

And, you know, kind of just a part of that is usually that type of demographic gets involved in guns at some point.

It's kind of funny because my entire childhood, because my dad's a 14-time felon.

uh, my entire childhood, uh, I never was really introduced to firearms because you couldn't have them at our house.

Um, and so I think part of it might've been a little bit of a rebellious, uh, thing for me where like my dad was always kind of against guns.

Um, and I don't think it was because he couldn't own them.

I think he actually thought that, uh, they were like, he had a big misconception.

Like a lot of people do that.

They, you know, they were way less safe than, um,

They actually are, as long as you know what you're doing.

Um, and so probably a little bit of a core, there was some rebellion there saying like, you know what, it's, I can exercise my constitutional right to go purchase a firearm or handgun.

And so that's what I'm going to go do.

Uh, quick question.

I'm a 152-time felon.
