Thank goodness the boys have their own money...

My two boys are really getting into the gun bug stuff. Not in directions I personally enjoy but at least they are getting into the hobby. Roman loves this tactical and exotic crap that I dislike. Mostly Russian and AK type stuff. But he's actually done well if he would actually SELL while it's astronomical and buy something "good" (LOL). Alas, old Colts and S&W are not his thing, yet anyway. He just bought some special first run, two tone, FN 5.7 pistol at a nosebleed price as a whole kit with ammo. I shot one at HHC and while cool, it's not THAT cool (to me). Maybe I'm just an old coot.

Little Benjamin (bigger than me now) had a piston AR carbine I gave him. He sold it and is building one like he wants. I'm helping him of course. It's OK, I like the AR stuff and we are doing it together. He's into casting and loading for it too. I've been smart with him and transitioned him to J-frame and K-frame .38/357 revolvers. Roman is a lost cause so far, semi-auto exotica. LOL

My dad was only lightly interested in guns and shooting that I loved from an early age. At least we had some around and a good farm to go shoot them on. I was blessed. My hope is the boys (my daughter too) will enjoy a more intensive sport firearm environment than I had. With this comes discipline and self confidence. I'll not sweat the specifics and personal flavor of the types of firearms and just enjoy the time spent together. We have it good right now.
