Let me start by saying, PLEASE do not jump all over me.
I'm 17, and when I turn 18 I want to get a shotgun. My uncle collects guns, both legal and illegal, and I've always had an interest in them. He has told me that he will teach me EVERYTHING I need to know, cleaning, handling, safety, taking it apart and putting it back together etc. He was in the Seals so he knows his stuff. What do you guys recommend for a first gun. I've never been hunting or anything, and it wouldn't be for hunting, just a first gun to start my collection. I would like to take it out to a shooting range every now and then to shoot. I really don't know anything about guns in general, so anything would help. Also, is it true that I have to be 21 before I can even get my concealed weapons license? Any other guns besides a shotgun that I can buy at 18? I want to start with something good, and I want to learn everything about it, any recommendations?
