...learned most of what they know about firearms from their father, and how many had the exact opposite? I grew up with firearms, which were my fathers but I tell ya, in the last two years I've played the role of mentor and he's been the stubborn, hard headed student. Four years in the military, twenty-two years of hunting and he still sometime talks and acts like a newbie. "No, I'm not lying; you CAN fire .38s out of a .357." "You know, to maintain your 870, every once in a while you have to do more than just removing the barrel." "It's a magazine dad, for the last time, A MAGAZINE!" (I hate that one).
Of course, growing up in these times gives me a vital recourse, the internet (in which I get most of my information from The High Road, so I know it’s accurate. )
Now it's not like he's a complete twat with a gun, but some of these things I consider common knowledge and the fact he is completely unaware is somewhat funny to me.
Does anyone else here share my experience, or am I all alone on this one?
