We just got back from a trip up north to see family, and on the way back I stopped to see my son's family.
In the truck was a Glenfield Model 60 .22 semiautomatic rifle my father got for me when I was 15.
I gave this same rifle to my granddaughter. She is 12, but even so is a much better shot that I was at that age. Her main rifle was a small single shot cricket, but now she has a rifle she can carry on with into adulthood. The non-detachable tube magazine holds 18 rounds, and the Bushnell Banner scope I mounted on it is wonderful.
She told me she loves it after going out to the shooting area and spending two hours out there with her dad (my son). She could hit targets at unknown ranges all the way out to 100 yards with it. Her grandpa could not be prouder. :mrgreen:
So our family shooting tradition is passed on with this gift to her. I also included 555 rounds of ammo.
All over free America family traditions are being passed on in this very same manner.
Kids are being given their first .22 rifles after PROVING they could safely and accurately handle a BB gun or a pellet rifle.
Be it Nebraska, as in this case, or Tennessee, KY, AK, TX, or any other FREE state you choose to mention, this is how it is done, and this is how family pride and the tradition of free American gun ownership is passed on.
Smell the freedom.
PS...I got her old BB gun to take home with me and plink with.
