I got my first breakover .410 when I was 8. I got a pump 12ga when I was 14; both when Dad felt I was ready. Dad bought them and gave them to me as gifts. I grew up in Texas, and when I moved to a different state I packed up my guns and took them with me.
So how is this different? I'm genuinely curious why you can't just put them in the car and drive them home to CO.
