[QUOTE="Nomad458, post: 3040007, member: 126914"] I don't have kids, I have several nephews a couple nieces and some boys I mentor. My nephews grew up like us so some of them have a love and enjoyment of guns. The ones that don't, or don't yet have other things of mine that would be valued. My oldest middle nephew will enjoy my library and chess board more than my 6 gun collection, the younger will favor my motorcycles and cars. I've sat down with the boys and talked to them about this, I'm only in my early 40s, but I'm also an idiot that rides motorcycles a lot, and climbs rocks. They know why certain things mean a lot to me and others don't as much. I tell them if it's something they want they best speak up because if I don't care much about it they may just get it when I make room for new stuff instead of me selling it to someone else. Sit down with your kids and have those conversations. If nothing else it will make Christmas and birthday shopping easier. Some guns hold more value because of family ties. If your kids don't want them find boys to mentor. Many, many boys are growing up without men in their lives to guide them. They are stuck learning masculinity from women, and that doesn't work. The men I've had mentor me through my life mean a lot to me and if I was passed on something important like a family heirloom rifle, I'd be honored to preserve it for the next generatio. Family doesn't have to be based on genetics. [/QUOTE]
