I'm going to throw a monkey wrench into the "Does everyone have to start with only a Default in Guns" sideline:

The Dabbler perk. I'd be happier justifying an investment in Dabbler for eg playing around with toy guns as a kid than a point in the real skill. Unless you're some sort of Nerf assassin, and I know some folks who at least fancy themselves one.
