[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1581322, member: 105102"] Well, here's my take on it.......My Father passed away not to long ago, and his guns were spread through out the family. Dad never had much in the way of extras in life, and everything that he owned was a tool. However, I have special memories attached to each one of his guns from times when he spent time with ME! I highly doubt that my children will have any kind of sentimental attachment to his guns, unless I take the time to get them shooting them and pass on the stories and memories that surround them. Another thing that I have thought about is different generations have different views on guns......Ar-15's are the new cool, and Grandpas 30-30 isn't worth much to them......Especially if they have nothing personal tied to it. I just hope that I create enough memories with my children that when they pick up one of my guns after I'm gone, a special time comes back to them, like I get when I pick up one of Dads! [/QUOTE]
