I told kids at dinner table that I bought a pair of Parabellums for them. Everyone's reaction was different.

Younger kid asked "What is that? Never heard of it" -- he's too young to play these anyway.

Elder kid asked "Luger? I thought that you don't play Lugers..." -- well, I don't play Lugers, but you can play Lugers. It's your gift. Keep yours NIB in future though. Save the box well don't throw them away. Don't shoot it. And, going Springfield gunshow with your friends is OK but don't spend your money on any gun before consulting me.

Wife asked "if it's cheap, why did not you buy more?" -- well, missed that Navy pair on Day 2... on Day 3, what else worth considering? And, investment requires diversity, fewer can limit the risk of future uncertainty.
