This is a neat thread.
Like a number of others, I have never received a "real" firearm for Christmas. Not that many gun people in the family. It would be something I would have to do for myself. I've bought a couple that I sort of consider birthday presents, but never on Christmas.
The one thing that I did get for Christmas one year was a BB gun(!!). I am guessing it was a typical Crosman 760 pump, nothing fancy. I was around 10 or 11 years old. My brother has the picture where I am opening it for Christmas and I am literally grinning ear to ear.
That gun taught me a valuable lesson. That whether you are hunting for need or sport, if you are successful something pays with it's life and that is no small thing. I killed a robin and I remember putting it in the freezer; I kind of felt I should dress it and eat it after the fact...
I think about it sometimes, like when I read this thread.
Hope you all had a nice Christmas.
