Paris Vega is a member of the NRA, USPSA, and the USCCA. He has been shooting guns for 30 years. He began as a young boy shooting BB guns and .22 rifles. Then moved up to shotguns and rifles as he got older. As a teenager he was paid to kill snakes at catfish ponds. From training at shooting ranges to hunting deer, wild boar and other invasive species, he enjoys and respects the great equalizing power of firearms as a tool for self-defense and survival.
