Hollywoods Brad Pitt, born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, said hes not only a committed pro-Second Amendment rights American, but hes also owned a gun since he was a kid.

Theres a rite of passage where I grew up of inheriting your ancestors weapons, said Mr. Pitt, 50, The Independent reported. My brother got my dads. I got my grandfathers shotgun when I was in kindergarten.

Mr. Pitt said he was first given an air gun and then the shotgun, all by age 6. And by the time he was 8 years old, he had already fired his first handgun, he said, Fox News reported.

Mr. Pitt who recently traded wedding vows with longtime, live-in girlfriend Angelina Jolie said he doesnt really feel safe in his home, with his wife and their six children, unless he has a gun nearby.

The positive is that my father instilled in me a profound and deep respect for the weapon, Mr. Pitt said, Fox News reported.
