I Outsmarted Myself!

[Char-Gar]

Seeing a Hillary win ahead, I told my kids that when they came for Thanksgiving I was going to give away guns to their sons, wanting them to be well supplied when the great gun crackdown came down.

Hillary lost, the kids came down and I kept my word. Each went home with 6 long guns and 5 handguns.

I am glad it all worked out the way it did!

You wouldn't want to adopt a 528 month old boy would you?

[runfiverun]

sounds to me like you have some storage room now...:lol:

[DCM]

You should have room for that asperly you've always wanted now. :)

Done good!

Giving guns away to grandchildren while you are still alive and can enjoy the guns with them is the best possible disposition of your years of accumulating treasures. It also stops any arguments over who gets what before they start.

Me too!:drinks:

[Plate plinker]

Now you can go buy more guns to replace those.

[Bzcraig]

I think it was an elaborate plan to get new guns to replace ones he didn't really like.........lol. Excellent!

[kingstrider]

Good for you, hopefully you can spend some quality time with the grandkids showing them how to shoot those guns.

[lightman]

Good on you. I bet they were excited. The will free up some space in the safe.

I've been working on a similar path,on a much smaller scale.While I'm pleased with the election results I don't believe we're out of the woods just yet.

Just can't see the LEFT and elite going quietly into the good night.Southern border,Europe,Bond market,public and private pension.None of which fills me with confidence no matter who is in the W.H. .

I'm sure you also sent ample supplies of ammo for each gift :Fire:.

Good for you Char-Gar ! Well done.

Got an extra safe you don't need?

I'd like to apply to become one of your grandkids. I promise I'll take good care of them forever!!! lol. Good job man, I have two grandsons so far. I bought each one a Cricket for their 3rd bdays. Then started teaching them firearm safety and discipline. It is fun to shoot with them, the 8 year old is dead on with his and the three year old is pretty good.

I hope they are legal residents of Texas.

Char-Gar, ya' done good, my friend. HAVING a gun, and knowing how to USE it are two different things. Keep 'em comin' back and teach 'em how to hit what they want to. THAT is paramount with any sort of gun. Ironically, my own weak spot is with the scattergun, and it SHOULD be the easiest! My chief problem is being cross eye dominant. We all have our crosses to bear. This one's just mine, and I've learned to cope with it to some degree. Perhaps not ironically, when I shoot a shotgun, it's the most gleeful type of shooting I do! Ain't it funny how all that works?

[toallmy]

Joyful memories last a long time , and then can be passed to the next generation on and on ...........a gun is not just a gun when it comes from a loved one . Good man

[jeepyj]

Well played sir!

[Char-Gar]

I hope they are legal residents of Texas.

Nobody in my family lives outside of Texas

I hope they are legal residents of Texas.

I am not sure what you are getting at here?

I don't think you really belive you outsmarted yourself.
This sounds more like something you have put a lot of thought and planning into, and was coming no matter what the political future holds.
You are a fortunate man to be able to do these things, and your grandkids are fortunate to have you, hope they always realise it, no matter what life throws their way.

Do not be upset if some of them get sold or traded.
I was fortunate enough to buy my cousins their first deer rifle, they were all several years younger than I was. They sold them, some within the first year, at first I thought this was not right, but come to the conclusion that they were theirs to do as they wished, as I had given them to them, not loaned them.

I knew a guy that totally frame off restored antique corvettes for all his grandkids. At least one of them sold his pretty quick. I ask him what he thought of that, and liked his answer. He claimed it showed the boy had common sense, he had much greater use of the fifty grand than he would ever get out of the car, infact he was proud of him for selling it and putting the money to good use.

Good Job! I have already started this downsizing and making sure that the right person gets the right gun. A good friend of mine passed on over a year ago and his kids are still fighting over his extensive S&W collection. Turning into a real battle.
