One of my chief issues with her side of the family has always been that they cuss like sailors. They talked to him like that when he was a baby, and I complained about it. Her mother really got on my case about that and told me that he was just a baby and they would never talk to him like that when he could understand. Today, they’re worse than ever (his mom included).
So, I should just take that, I guess, because she’s his mother, but I have to be worried that I don’t offend her sensibilities by getting him a gun and teaching him to use it safely.
We had a great time building AR’s. They got to choose what stock, forearm, barrel, bolt, Bolt Carrier, barrel, sights/scopes, trigger type, furniture colors, slings. The mix-n-match and swapping between the two boy was great.
We had many days of fun out at the range shooting them. The competition of targets, then they moved into sporting clays. And we still shoot together all these years later and my oldest brought is brother in law to our outings and it has grown into a “dad’s family” pastime.
