I had to share this because I'm kind of excited about it. Have you ever gotten a gift for someone and been so excited to give it to them, you don't know if you can actually wait until their party?
My long time (12 year) coworker, mentor, and good friend and shooting buddy, is at long last retiring. He will be missed in my office, and I'll miss seeing him every day. But he has really earned his retirement working in the woods for 30+ years.
Well, for the last 2.5 to 3 years, he has been talking about wanting to buy a 22 revolver. He is a very frugal guy, and has a hard time parting with money. He's been drooling over a 4" S&W 617 this entire time. Well, since I basically owe the man more than I can ever pay back, I decided to thank him as properly as I can.
I did research to ensure legality and make sure I wasn't breaking any federal or state laws, I know he is not prohibited from possessing firearms since I've been with him when he bought one before, and told his wife to stop him from buying anything himself. I'm pretty dang excited to see him open it. I just picked it up, and will have to hold onto it for 2 months.
And lucky for me they had CCI mini mags behind the counter too for $11 a box. Certainly not the best of prices, but I haven't seen mini mags anywhere for less than $10 a box in quite awhile, so I grabbed 300 rounds. They also had FMJ 45 Colt ammo made by Northern Hills Ammunition for only $26 a box! I've never shot their ammo before, but I'm going to give it a try.
I was wondering though since I've never given a firearm as a gift, would anyone recommend a certain type of documentation that I transferred the gun as a gift when the time comes?
