Dad took me down there and I was privileged to fire my very first 12 gauge shotgun in the presence of the family warriors ~ men who'd been on the Front in WWI or in WWII in various capacities, but mostly as Rangers, Infantrymen, or flying around airplanes. Had a grandfather there, and a Great grandfather.
That's my culture. People who don't care for it can go back where they came from.
Exactly......
That is a big part of our culture. I have been passing it on to my 2 children and now my 8 grandchildren. My eldest granddaughter (she is beautiful, talented, responsible and brilliant) recently tuned 12 and she received her very first firearm for her birthday, a .22 rifle. That is what she wanted. She is a good shot too.
This past Sunday I bought a new 12 GA shotgun for myself... it might be a bit big for her to shoot yet, but I have no doubt that she eventually will.... and someday, it may very well be hers.
