Traded around and got us an M1 Garand (finally!) They all just watched the Garand Collectors Ass'n video on the history of the Garand and are ready to hit the range!
With everything that's transpired the past few months, Portland, Connecticut... I have not questioned teaching my children about firearms. They will not be trained killers, they will be responsible shooters and courteous citizens.
My mother isn't anti-gun, she just hates them. The Grand Architect of the Universe has a sense of humor giving her gun toting sons, daughter in laws and grandchildren who all shoot. Now, she has warmed up more over the last 30 years, but after losing her dearest and closest family in a mass...
I find myself blessed and cursed with a wife who is a firearm enthusiast. Former Marine, shoots competitively, and knows firearms far to well (hard to play the "oh I have had that one" card) So, after talking to rOmiLaYu I figured I would post this and see how many out there are the same way?
You really have WAY too much time on your hands. Ya need to get that Lee loader... Can occupy you more productively.
BTW, looks great buddy. Nicely done.
