sorry lemans I did not really give you a complete answer regarding my parents. They don't welcome guns but they are not against it either. They are completely fine with me joining the sport but they are not fine with me joining the army as they know I will be putting my life in danger. I do respect their rules as I respect them dearly.I have to question why a healthy (I assume that you are healthy) 18 year old thinks they can't endure military training.
I'm a bit curious, do you live alone or still under the same roof as your parents. Are your parents simply not interested in guns, or are they against them? If you live under their roof I recommend that you either respect their rules or get your own roof.
