So my dad has a lot of guns from his family and from personal purchases.
He married and had 2 kids. My mom is very anti-gun so there was no 'teaching the kids how to shoot bonding time'. The guns were locked away.
Well, I turned 18 and said let me at them. My dad and I went shooting a couple times and I fell in love. Started taking out all his old guns and fidgeting with them. Ordered parts for them and modified them. Things he could never imagine would happen to the firearms.
He expected them to sit there for the rest of time to waste away and be forgotten.
I said SCREW THAT. Guns are what family is all about. I got him excited about them again. I breathed new life into his old hobby. We bought scopes and rails and bipods and more guns. He started remembering how much fun he used to have.
I bought an AK-47 and he cries when he shoots it, remembering those that shot at him and hit his squad mates. He still won't tell me about the war.
My dad tells me how happy and proud he is every time we talk about guns. I'm happy that we have something like this.
