Proud of my daughter

[Patriotme]

I'm very proud of my teenage daughter tonight. Actually I'm always proud of her but she really shined tonight. My wife and daughter went to a family Christmas Party while I got ready for shift work. When they got home I was told that my daughter spent most of the party talking guns, hunting and fishing with her uncles. She impressed her uncle in law enforcement with her knowledge of M4's since I recently bought a couple and have taken her to the range 3 times in the last couple of months. He's a AR newbie too so other than disassembly she probably knew as much as him. How many 14 year olds can discuss the laquer on the cases of Russian .223 and why 5.56 is a no no in a .223 chamber? The longer they talked the more she suprised him. I gave her an extra $10 when she got home just for doing a good job. Of course she steered the conversation to what she knew and admitted not knowing about AK's when the topic arouse. That's pretty adult of her. Still....I was pretty impressed even though she's been shooting handguns and .22 rifles for years. Her Mom does pretty good too.

Dude, I think dad should be given his daughter an engraved peronlized scoped macked out custom 22LR or if your cheap just give her one of your M-4's

That day will probably be coming soon. I just bought a very nice Ruger 10/22 (moved up from a youth model Marlin 15) for the kid to use. She picked it out and (wisely) chose the one with the black polymer stock and and grayish barrel over the pink ones. I also put a 4x16 scope on it which is rediculously large but a whole lot of fun. It will officially be hers when she is of age as will a host of other guns. The wife has already layed claim to my Bushmaster M4gery.
