Would you sell a gift?

[Candy Corn Rocks]

Just wondering out there. Say you get a gun as a gift from a friend. It's not your style and it might be more difficult to maintain than most of your other guns. Would you sell it to get something you wanted or keep it as it was a gift from a friend?

Can we get more specific on the gun? Are we talking Hi-Point or Wilson Combat?

In all seriousness - I'd say sell it if you don't like it, unless it has some kind of special meaning to either you or the friend. Also, depends on your relationship with the friend, and if they would get offended by it.

I'd just ask them if they wanted it or what they thought about it.

New gun or used gun?

I have gifted the kids some guns that the wife and I don't enjoy but kept because the kids liked them.

I have gifted my siblings and parents weapons when they stated they would like something like that.

But, I have never given something that I didn't know they liked or wanted.

Now, I have received weapons that were redistributed, sold, traded, or bartered because they didn't fit into my overall collection. But, I always check before proceeding with the person I received it from.

Generally I'd sell it, it's a tool and there are very few firearms that I have a special connection to, such as a love for the M1 Garand as a piece of WWII history. If we are talking about a family heirloom, that's something different.

It's a beautiful nickel S&W Model 36. Some minor pitting but in overall very good condition. Just not my cup of tea.

EDIT, I am a dummy, it's a 36, not 16.

I'd probably sell, but I'd bring it up to the friend first. You don't want an awkward situation where y'all are out shooting one day and he asks where it is.
