As a freedom-conscious parent, here’s how I’m doing Christmas for my kids:
My gifts tend toward good, clean outdoor fun and often include good quality knives and firearms. Almost none of the gifts I have ever given include or need batteries. Few include plastic other than Glock, Magpul, and in the past Legos. In 2-4 years, each of my kids will be getting a gift from Randall Knives. As a bonus, they all get (and use) lots of ammo. Self-defense is not the only thing that matters in life, but ensuring that my kids have that ability is the second priority in my parenting, just behind reverence for and obedience to God.
No bows & arrows?
