I used to live for a short while in Colorado, and have returned numerous times to occasionally hunt, but mostly to visit with my dear friends there, maybe 8-9 times over the last 25 years. When pondering how much my friends mean to me, and how much they have done for me (put me up, fed me, and even guided me hunting, along with the great gun talks and shooting), I felt compelled to send them some guns. I gave one a Browning BDM, another a S&W 296, another a Russian Makarov (military), and lastly a CZ75 Pre-B model. One of the guys alsked the other why I was giving them guns (as they met and signed for them at a local gunshop that I had sent them to), and the other guy laughed, and said "He loves us!". Well that sums it up for me! I do. I have also given my local friends a S&W Model 10 with Farrant grips, a Beretta 1934 .380 Commercial, and my one brother a Colt 1908 .25 with ivory grips, and my other brother a Beretta Model 418 .25 from the year he was born (he's a Democrat, so I didn't want to over-do it). I could have kept and played with those guns, but we only get one life, and I wanted each of them to have something from me. Something that when they go out and shoot it, they think of me. Oh, yeah, gave my daughter a Walther P99, and my son in law a CZ75 Pre-B model, both 9mm.
