I learned to shoot as a kid and we had the target pistols.  Then my Dad took 
us out to use the 30-06 he had (brought it back from the Phillipines, Korean 
War).  Blam, had a bruise from that thing for a month!

In high school, the gal that my mother worked with had her husband take us 
all out to the sheriff's range.  We got our Jr. Expert Marksman then.  Tried 
a lot of guns but still like my old faithful target pistol <g>  It works 
real well for the 3S's!

Used to have a cute little 410 over and under.  They're more a toy than 
anything else.  Don't know what happened to that gun.  The ex probably 
hauled it off in the dead of night with everything else he decided was his.

I also have a .22 pistol, with a 4.5" barrel.  I love mine.  I often
carry it in a thigh holster.  I'm 'dead on'-meaning I can put it in a 4"
circle- at about 50 feet, but my barrel is shorter. ;)

People say .22's don't have any stopping power.  I understand the
argument but a well placed round to the groin would have pretty good
stopping power, I think.
Just this week an 8 year old shot his father and another man with a .22
rifle.  Sad story.  Apparently the father had given him the gun and
taught him to shoot it.

We also need a shotgun...
We got a 308 last year.  Officially it belongs to the kid, but he won't
be using it until 2013.
