We are such bad parents

as I am sure you know, we bought Michael his first real gun this past year

A Boy and A Gun

Well for the last couple of months he has been getting upset with his father, because since buying M's gun, E has bought 3 for him.

(All lever action guns, no I dont think he has a problem....  why do you?)

M keeps saying that its not fair and all that kind of stuff.  Well E started talking to M about what he wanted and worked it down to this gun..


I know, another lever action, go figure, apple and the tree....

Well we looked around and couple not find one in the shape we wanted for the price we wanted.  Then E came up with a few more options for M to look at, and M decided these would work also


a pump action rifle....  ok well at least we are expanding our horizons..


a bolt action camo covered Savage rifle...  (Camo is cool, no matter what!)

So we started looking some more, seeing what we could find.  Even looked at a few places in Denver.  (we went to a place called The Gun Room, which was great! and had a good selection, AND we went by Gunsmoke, you know the place where they shoot the TV show American Guns..)

Found some that were close, but they werent quite right  (and having to buy a case to check them on a plane made it tough also)

So yet again M decided that his father was working against him to make sure he did not get a new gun, and of course that is not what was happening.  (really, it wasnt, I promise)  After we get back from vacation the Fort Worth gun show was going on, so we headed over there  (OMG! I have never seen so many people crammed in such small aisles..)   Well what did we end up running across that M fell in love with?




YES, thats right, its a Winchester 9422 Lever action 22 magnum rifle.  The EXACT! rifle he started out looking for...   And the place we ran across it at?  Blast and Past, the same place E bought one of his 94's from.

Good things come to those who wait....

Now if only he could stop being mad at his father!
