Lifetime shooter and student of shooting, particularly defensive shooting, and have had the chance to train with some top guys. I hunted a lot as a younger man, but not for a while now. Avid IDPA shooter and SO (I've gotten to SO some nifty matches, including the inaugural World Match). Have shot other competetive disciplines inlcuding three gun and USPSA.
I represent a couple of firearms related companies in my practice, as well. (Note my avatar.)
I'm a history buff and so have spent a good bit of time on the history of arms, including firearms.
I deal with issues of liberty and self-defense a lot at my blog,
Suburban Sheepdog, where I have also written a lot about guns. (Hope you'll visit and read some of those posts.)
I made sure that every gun reference in my novel was precisely correct, because nothing makes me more nuts than ". . . he flicked of the safety on his Smith & Wesson revolver. . . "
I own a a fair number of firearms including -- and this may seem odd to some -- no fewer than three Glock 19s, which is my EDC.
So yeah, a gun guy.
