Message: <blockquote data-quote="TerryMiller" data-source="post: 1584348" data-attributes="member: 7900">In spite of my Grandpa homesteading in the Panhandle, I never remember seeing a firearm in his house or his vehicles.  My dad's fishing and hunting equipment was stolen by the son of a friend who was keeping Dad's gun cabinet for him.  So, I had no opportunity to inherit any weapons.I do still have my first rifle, a Remington Model 514 single-shot .22, that I bought with $16 when I was about 10 years old.  First shot out the barrel got a jackrabbit.  It can't really be used as the bolt handle was lost long ago, and I can't find a way to get it fixed.  Sadly, because of that, it hasn't received the care that it should have.As for the rest of my firearms, I have two sons with only one which would be interested in what I own.  I have two grandsons, but their dad probably wouldn't allow any weapons in his house.  With 3 kids now and another on the way, I won't argue with that.  Too many cases of a curious child shooting another.So, if my youngest should pass before me, I'll just sell everything I have, put the money into Traveler's Checks, and then have those and my weapons buried with me.</blockquote>
