Living in the past.

[Lonesome Dove]

Talking with my Son in law and got on the subject of guns. All is going fine then at some point I asked if was interested in an older gun I have and he was quick to say I don't live in the past. I didn't know what to say so I just pretended it didn't happen. Evening went on as planned.















When we got home I told my wife what he said and she replied with Oh crap!







Exactly he is Not to receive any of my firearms, reloading crap, animal mounts, tools, optics, vehicles Nothing!

Mind you I've given him a few and boughrt him his first

That hit me like a tonof bricks.

Hope you never have to make decisions you never planned on making with family.

That sucks. I’ll be your new son in law. Jk lol. Hell I’ll mow your lawn for ammo.

That does suck though. As my son gets older I’m paying attention to see what he turns into. Hopefully respectful and pro gun. A lot of times kids are the opposite of parents just cause. Rebellious? Don’t know. I did that with my dad. He’s a democrat and doesn’t understand the second amendment. Whatever…

You can tell me off as it ain’t my place but your son in law sounds like an ungrateful prick. Ain’t no reason to scoff at kindness.

I can understand you being upset, but some people just don't care about them at all.

My ex son in law is detective now, he only had his duty pistol when I met him as a deputy sheriff.
He didn't care much about them.

Mind you I've given him a few and bought him his fist.

Very disappointing.

For what it is worth, I am a big fan of single action army revolvers....just in case your wife is looking for a place to get rid of them!

 

[Sam7sf]

Do the mature thing. Call him and say: “f@&? You”. Then hang up and enjoy dinner.

That is disappointing. On the good side at least you know where he stands now. And you didn’t waste a family gun on him.

Btw, I think if you hold out, you can do better than @Sam7sf as a SIL.

No shit. I mean…hey now.

That was you?!!!

You can swing by my house and drop off whatever, buddy. Well not the taxidermy and the reloading stuff.

 

[General Zod]

Heh...luckily my sons are adamant on inheriting my older models as much as the modern stuff. I'm pretty sure they won't kill me off for any of it...but the Winchester and the M1 Carbine are quite coveted between them.

 

[skfullgun]

That is sad. If he doesn’t possess an affection for older “things”, he should at least be willing to show respect for his “elders”.

At the very least, he was insensitive and egotistical in his response. I wouldn’t give him a darn thing, as it would not be appreciated.

 

[Kar98]

I mean if it was a beat up, zinc cast Roehm .25 or a Clerke First or garbage of that kind, I could see the refusal.
But I'd jump on a OG 1911, or a 93 Borchardt...

 

[Vaquero]

I don't know what to say.

I like to think I'd remain civil and he comes around.
I'm not sure though.

What is his age?

I’m sure another relative can be found Dad.

Next time you're around him try giving him a big roll of 100 bills and when he holds his hand out..pull back and look at the dates on the bills and say.
Oops..sorry..these were ALL printed in the past and I remember what you said about not living in the past.

When was his car made?...in the past
When was his home built? In the past
When did he give his wedding vows to your daughter? ..in the past

Hell..he has given you a gift that keeps giving..I would rub that in from now on.

 

[Sam7sf]

I think his sil needs a sandwich.

He'll be 34 this month.

I'll take the reloading stuff.
