Depends on perspective I suppose (father and son time).
I like your collection of funs so far, keep up the good work 
I don't have any guns, never have. I don't like the thought of registering a gun, so I will never have one as long as I live in my current state. If I had to choose a first gun, it would probably be the CZ 75 SP-01, because of the cheap supply of 9mm ammo to continue to use with the gun.
My favorite gun that I have fired is the .357 S&W 586 Revolver, however the Colt AR-15 is pretty thrilling too.
Does ammo pricing influence your choice of weapon purchases?
I would have have pursued charging the person who was invading your property with theft and trespassing.
Thanks man
The CZ 75SP-01 is a great pistol and has a perfect grip that fits even the biggest and smallest of hands. A buddy of mine sold his regular CZ 75 and bought the SP-01 just because of how it looked, they performed the same and had fantastic groupings from 10 and 20 yards. The only 9mm I have is my Beretta 92fs, and I bought it because the guy behind the counter kept telling me to buy a Glock, Glocks are the greatest, Glocks never fail, etc. etc. and I really don't think they look as pretty as a Beretta xD If a Beretta is good enough for the Marines and a 40 year track record with police, its good enough for me. I think Glocks are so overrated, and I don't like plastic.
The only registered weapons that exist in Canada are handguns and automatics (if you already owned one from being inherited). My rifles and shotguns are not, which I like a lot because I have more freedom to transport and shoot them in more areas that our heavily restricted laws on registered guns do not allow.
A lot of buzz has been going around about getting an AR-15, no matter the brand. The 5.56mm cartridge is probably my least favorite though, so I've never seen the urge to drop 1 or 2 thousand on a rifle that my country deems more dangerous (and puts it in the same class as handguns) based on aesthetics. I run all forms of 7.62mm rounds through my SKS, M305, and Mosin because I love the heavy russian ammo that is just as accurate and more effective at penetrating steel, armour, and concrete. 7.62x39 ammo is also cheaper than 9mm, whereas 5.56mm will cost about double that of the Russian bulk ammo crates. In my opinion, 7.62mm caliber rifles are much more economic, durable, and just as modifiable as an AR.
In terms of ammo cost being a factor? It is for me, definitely. I'm poor as a result of my hobbies taking over my purchases. When I buy ammo, I don't just buy a little, I save like 20 bucks by buying hundreds of rounds at a time. I dropped $300 on 880 rounds of Russian 7.62x54r military surplus ammo for my Mosin. That should last me until next summer. I spend $150 on 175 rounds of Federal 12g buckshot for the range because you can only use buckshot or slugs and slugs cost more than buckshot, which lasts maybe 2 weeks if I shoot frugally. My SKS has had the most bang for its buck, literally. I paid $200 for the rifle plus some $200 on mods and 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 for under $300, which all together is normally the cost of a single decent firearm...
I just realized how much money I spent on this stuff and it's physically hurting my head. It's an expensive hobby for sure, but if you can manage even owning one gun you love to shoot, it's well worth the money.
ALSO,
Anyone interested in the martial arts of tactical firearms training needs to see this. It's crazy.
