Well, I argued with my wife.
We only rarely find anything to argue about, but today, we did.
My son wants his own gun for Christmas. I had not told her how adamant he is to own his own gun.
Honestly, by federal/United States Of America law, he is too young.
I would have to use my own perfectly pristine record to buy it for him. It would still be my own gun, but ...
... And he has asked me many times for his own gun,
Mom says, "NO!." No more discussion. Issue is closed.
However, when I talk to my son privately, HE REALLY WANTS HIS OWN GUN!!!!
Now understand, I have about sixty guns in my safe to quench his thirst, but none of those are his.
He wants his own and I did too at his age. Problem is that he IS too young to own a weapon of any sort.
I tend to take his mom's side, but how do I do so while taking him out every week to shoot, then complementing him on his progress?
Any one have a clue about this shit?
