As of three days ago all parents and siblings are gun owners

The place for beginners, or anyone else, to talk about gun, gear, and shooting topics with a minimum of jargon and/or geekery. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask that blows up in your face later.

As of three days ago all parents and siblings are gun owners

Post by Aaron »

Brother was the last hold out, and that had more to do with cash flow than anything else. He got himself a Rossi wheel gun in .44 special. Nothing fancy, but still a very nifty little lead slinger.

It's a beautiful thing.

Wiped a tear from my eye. It's only Wednesday but it's 5 o'clock somewhere so I'll have to toast that.

It's all good, he drove up here and we toasted it already. :mrgreen:

Took the better part of a decade, but I'm feeling pretty good right now.

Outstanding! Good on you, and good on your family. :D

My siblings are trustworthy, and I've been gently working on them.... but sad to say it's for the best that neither of my parents owns anything firearm-related.

Congrats and may there be many memories!

Great Job! Now go get some more. The family has friends, right? :mrgreen:

Indeed they do...most seem to have armed up before the last of the adults in my family did.

Aunts and uncles are next on the list, shouldn't take too long, about half are already there.
