My Favorite Rifle And How My Life Changed When It Was Given To Me

Congrats, my father never gave up on me either, and when I was ready to stop (Or at least start stopping) being stupid, he was there.
I have the only gun he owned, a Marlin 39A.

Very nice, thank you for sharing. I'm trying to do something similar with my boy, though he hasn't broken any laws I know of yet!

My dad was a farmer. Never a gun guy. But he did buy me a .22-250 when I was maybe 14-15. I terrorized the local groundhog population. Gave up hunting in my 20's and sold it. I'd pay new price to get it back

Anyway, thanks for the post.

Nice; thanks for sharing the story. My Dad wasn't a shooter, so it was my FIL that really got me into hunting and all that goes with it. My Dad helped me learn about grace in other ways.

How interesting because my FIL is quite a spiritual mentor for me but doesn't have the first clue about any firearm.
