Mine is a Winchester Model 90 pump action .22 born in 1906. It was my Grandmother's first firearm when she was a child. I might not be here but for that rifle. They were living in the then small town of Tucson, AZ during the 1930's. When my mother was about 6 years old, she walked out into the front yard only to be confronted by a wound up and hissing Rattle snake. My Grandmother saw what was happening and stepped outside with her trusty Winchester. She made a head shot on that snake only inches from my mother to be.
My second oldest firearm is a Belgium 12 gauge A-5 made in 1929. The barrel was long ago cut down to 18.5 inches. It has the old suicide inside the trigger guard safety. I keep it loaded with 00 buckshot for home defense. You just stick your finger inside the trigger guard then push forward to release the safety then pull back to start launching five rounds of hell on earth.
