So I'm sitting around home today. My 16-year-old daughter (Morgan) has a guest over, and they're talking...firearms. Morgan asks me,
I informed her that in Michigan, at age 18, an adult can receive a transfer handgun from a parent. If they buy one, they have to be 21. Morgan smiled and asked if she could see inside of the vault. She was tremendously careful, assuring each handgun was not only empty, but magazine removed as well. She handled each and every one like a pro. She concluded that she wants me,
Next, Morgan asked me,
Angel's step father (may he rest in peace) was a retired LEO sniper. He passed about 6 months ago. So, I take out the 19-pound, M700 Police .308 Win, with B&C adjustable tactical stock, Ferrell 20 MOA G-Force rail, Leupold Mark 4 30mm rings, with a Nightforce 12-42X56 scope, a 4 ounce trigger, and a Harris swivel bi-pod. Angel recognized the M700 Police as,
The girls took turns trying the rifle on the bi-pod, and literally counting the needles on the pine tree about 200 yards out. Of course they had to turn on the illumination feature. And now, they want to travel to the family farm this Christmas break and target shoot. Of course, they each had to dry-fire it to test the trigger.
Evening sets in, and Morgan is staying over night at her friend's house. Morgan texted me tonight from her friend's house,
Oh yeah! This Daddy is the king! I raised that girl the right way! And don't even get me going about how vicious of a fighter Morgan is in Chang Hun Taekwondo. Daddy ain't gonna have to worry 'bout his lil girl.
Brag button off. Sorry guys. But when you have a day this good, you know durn-sure, you done-did-good!

Dad, when can I get a pistol, at 18 or 21?

...to transfer the G26 to me when I turn 18...maybe one of the Colt 1911s too...the one with genuine ivory grips.
Next, Morgan asked me,
Dad, show Angel your baddest gun...I mean, baddest-@$$ rifle you have!

...what my father used! How the h@ll did you get one?! You're not a cop!!! (She followed up with a grin and approval. In fact, Joe (her dad) loved that rifle.
