I bought my son his Marlin Lil' Bucaroo when my wife was about 5 months pregnant. It was 2 days after the sonagram when I found out I was having a boy.

I bought an unissued Yugo SKS still in the cosmoline over the internet, with the intention of shooting it. When it arrived, I cleaned it up, and it is so pristine and beautiful, I just couldn't bear to shoot it. So it's going to be a safe queen for several years, until my 2 year old son is old enough to shoot it, and I'll give it to him.

This post made me laugh....25 years ago, I bought 4 cases of Bordeaux wine in France,and shipped it home, and gave it to a friends new born daughter.... cost me $130 ..today EACH bottle is worth $700 !!! If your going to get a firearm... do some research.

That is a great idea that I had never thought of before and will follow your example when I have a child. Raising another safe firearm carrying american will be a great asset not only to your family but to our entire country!

My father-in-law gave my youngest son a 50th Anniv. Ruger MKII on his first birthday since he was born the year of the anniv. Still new in the box waiting for him to start shooting but if he catches me with the safe open, I have to show it to him.

My daughter is a member of the "one gun a month club". She's only 3 months old, but Daddy found a Red Ryder from the 1950's, a .22 and a 28ga for her. She still needs a centerfire rifle and handgun.
I'm going to have my brother enlay a engraved siver disk about the size of a silver dollar in the stock of the shotgun.

As a new parent, you have some things to learn. The first is this: Babies drool -- a lot!
So make sure it's stainless, not blued.

let's see
you just asked a board full of certified gun junkies if ______________ was a good reason to buy a new gun. for future referance any reason is a good reason to buy a new gun, some are just better than others!

Who says alcohol and college don't mix???
You paid for her college education!
Your 130 "1980 dollars" in 2003 (latest the online calculator would go) would be equivalent to 314.25.
Now, with each bottle (48 total in 4 cases, right?) at 700 bucks. That young lady's gift is worth: 33,600.oo dollars!
But the gift of a college education (if that's what she spends it on) is priceless!
Now, germane to this thread is the answer to which firearms will appreciate strongly. Easy examples are full auto's and pre-bans w/evil features in the pre-awb sunset days. In common to both besides high general demand is that they are both essentially banned. There is a finite amount of them and no more than that available to civillians- essentially a ban.
So the trick would be to look into the future and see which firearms both have lasting desireability AND are likely to be banned by then. I hear the jaded amongst us saying, "They'll all be banned by then..." We'll leave that alone for now.
I would say the next big attack on civillian guns will be on the 50bmg's and 'assault rifles' (again). The 50 is a big investment, but I think it is the most likely to be banned next assuming a new ban is passed. the big 50 is always on the traitor's chopping block. As for the others, its hard to say which semi-auto will be next, or whih group, or all of them. For certain, they will want the AK-style and doubtful that the law will be so specific but I would feel sure that it will at least cover the AK's.
So perhaps a low initial investment in some low-end AK's? maybe the surplus sks's?
Just ideas.
