First the background...
Here's my post in General Gun on the thread "What did you buy for National Buy a Gun Day?"
_______________________________________________________________
I went to 3 gun stores and then to the range with my dad. And two meals with mom and dad, and a trip to the nursing home to visit an aunt, etc.
No new guns....... yet.
When I called him 2 hours ago (Sunday evening) he informed me that he's going back to the local shop tomorrow to take another look at the 28ga O/U we both liked. I was just sort of fooling around when I started handing him little shotguns to look at.
The suspense is killing me.
_______________________________________________________________
Now the news...
I called home yesterday evening after I got in from work and son of a gun he went back and bought it. He claims he really went back to show a sales guy the handmade balisong he brought back from the Philappines at the end of WWII. Yeah, sure dad. Now, the man had a nice one and I'm sure my father wanted him to see the one he has with the blade made from a Mercedes spring, but I know better. Enough already! Bought what you say? A Caesar Guerini Woodlander 28 ga with 28" barrels and a Prince of Wales pistol grip (not the straight stock shown in the pic below from www.gueriniusa.com )
So, what is a 28 ga good for?
I need to find out soon, because I know for a fact that he isn't going to shoot it too much - he's 83. Then again he's fooled me more than once this week.
