I enjoy shooting... I have quite a few antique guns which I enjoy shooting. Some of them are expensive to shoot, so I don't shoot often!

I also have modern guns which are just fun to shoot (for me). Some of them are "tactical," But I don't ever expect they will ever shoot anything more aggressive than a steel target.

I admit, however, that lately, I've taken the practicing a bit more seriously. Not that I expect a civil war or anything THAT dramatic, but I live on the outskirts of town and I do not put it past some drunk yahoos deciding to try a bit of initimidation (my town is a blue speck in a sea of red). But this is mostly for peace of mind.... I don't really expect that to happen, and if it did, it would take 20 minuts for me to get a gun ready!
