My oldest daughter and her husband have just moved from an apartment into their first house and I have decided to set them up with a nice starter set for basic plinking and home defense needs.
I started by getting them a decent 10-gun safe and a dehumidifier can. To fill it, Im going to be pulling stuff from my personal armory- given the price/availability of new guns and ammo.
They currently have a single 9mm XD and a scoped .22 Mossberg (which Ive been keeping at my place since they lacked secure storage at the apartment). For these, Im going to send them 500 rounds of ammo, each.
Then, Im going to throw in a nice stainless Mini14, with 7 mags and another 500 rounds of .223. They both like revolvers, and she likes .22s, so Im giving them three more Rugers, a 4" Security Six, .22 SP101, and a MK2, along with 300 rounds of .357.
I dont have much in the way of smoothbores, but Im thinking about putting a high-power rifle of some sort in there too- maybe one of my '03s....along with some ammo.
Of, course, Im including a cleaning kit, with chemicals and patches.
To top it off, Im trying to source the last few parts I need to finish another AR9 since she shot her sisters example and loved it.
They already have a small range bag with ear and eye protection. Any suggestions for other guns or accessories they could use?
