Shooting a Family Heirloom (story and pictures inside)

[Suprtek]

This is one of the great things about getting to know people on this board. These kind of values and family heritage are pleasantly common.

I shoot family heirlooms nearly every time I shoot at all. Several of my firearms were given to me by my father. My kids were still very young when we lost my father. Shooting his guns brings up great opportunities to talk about "Grandpa" and keep his memory alive.

is anyone else wondering where the UZI went besides me?

I'd also like to 2nd Ranger's question about the disposition of the UZI.

Dale's entire collection was willed to another family member on his wife's side of the family.

It's great to be able to remember those who are no longer here as we also exercise our God-given right of self defense!
