I've heard more than one account of a "friend" helping out a family by either buying or selling for them their dearly departed's guns. Occasionally a resentment results that either the "friend" paid too little or sold them for too little. It becomes the classic no good deed goes unpunished. Gil

I guess I'm lucky if you want to call it that. I have a son who is waiting in the wings and would love to have my guns. So, I guess he's the lucky one. He doesn't mind me buying all the guns I want.

The title of this thread means something different to me. I visited the coverts we used to hunt together back in the "old country" yesterday. It was a cool and pretty late Fall day and it was fun to see all those places again, and yet... bittersweet.









A nice tribute for Veterans Day. Not surprisingly, seeing his name and likeness up on that pole yesterday afternoon was still painful for me. Too fresh yet.

I'm back at home today, and back to work tomorrow.

Last week my niece's husband woke her at 2am complaining of a sickening headache. Within moments, he was unconscious from a brain aneurysm rupture. He never regained consciousness. The family removed him from life support at 3pm that afternoon. He was 52 years old and an avid outdoorsman. Fortunately, he has a son who shared his interests. Tomorrow isn't promised. We all need to have our affairs in order for those we care about.
