My father never owned a firearm, as far as I know. He grew up on a farm, and used guns, but did not want to have any firearms in the house when he had kids, I guess. I'd love to have a .22 or some firearm from dad.

I do have a Hamilton railroad watch from dad, and his fishing stuff and some tools.

I have a few nice firearms to maybe pass on, but none of the next generation in the family seems to have any interest in guns. Even the young men, highly successful in professional and personal lives, seem not interested in self defense, hunting, history, weapons.

Well, there's one nephew who might be interested, but I've probably seen him twice in the last twenty years.

If you go by a bookstore, there's a nice chapter in Black Ops by W.E.B. Griffin that any Lugerforum member would enjoy. Chapter is several pages, but the key page is 93 iirc.
