I prefer not to get gun related gifts for Christmas. Its been that way since I got a couple boxes of .45LC, for my kimber, and glock 19 mags for my 17. But I got socks that I'll wear to the range at some point. Dont get me wrong, I like socks, I even ask for them. The less money that's spent on me is more they save or spend on the kids.
Besides, I dont ask for gun stuff, gun stuff is expensive, and if its not, I already have it, and if I dont, they may get the wrong thing. Besides, if the kids in the families have a good Christmas, well that's good enough for me.
