The gunsmith down the street offers gift certificates (the old fashion paper, handwritten kind. Cool.) and you can redeem for anything in the store. That is what my daughter is giving me this Yule. I have always like target and skeet shooting with rifles and shotguns, but it is time to give pistols their turn. I no longer live in the country and there is not any real crime in this village (really), so defense is not the focus of having a gun, it is the sport, which, by the way, for me, does not include hunting; I would not be able to do that safely and with the level of responsibility I would need.<br /><br />Seriously, shooting at a range is just as relaxing as knitting, just louder.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601154555210668680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-16243173639909103782015-12-09T15:10:29.106-07:002015-12-09T15:10:29.106-07:00Ah yeah, that makes more sense; thanks for clarify...Ah yeah, that makes more sense; thanks for clarifying!the craftytravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122562999314308422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-48624912455383882092015-12-09T13:00:55.228-07:002015-12-09T13:00:55.228-07:00Yep!

We know some families where when the boys turn 12 they get their first rifle for Christmas. We know other families that won't give a squirt gun as a gift. Neither way is wrong, it just goes with each families living situation, area, and feelings. One context to imagine gun giving would be these southwestern ranch families who have guns for protecting them and their livestock from predators of varying kinds (a very legitimate use for those families).
