Quoted: Happy Birthday and congratulations on the new purchase.
What's your family got to say about it? or did you forget to tell um?

My first rifle was a Ruger 10/22. I told them I was getting it, they said it was alright (not like it would have matered, though I wanted to be curtious for many reasons) finally got it, they were infuriated. When I mentioned I wanted to get a second rifle, a bolt .22 or all things, they told me if I ever got another gun, including that one, I would not have their blessing anymore (just minutes after talking about marrying my fiance). About 15 days later I had my CZ452. About a month ago they said if I buy a handgun, I will not have a job or a place to live. So I haven't said anything about it yet.
In all honesty, I don't really care at this point. I spent my whole life trying to please my family and what did it get me? I didn't go to the Marines like I wanted to since I was a kid, and I spent 3 years after high school not knowing what I want to do. Well now I am going to school to become a gunsmith (hopefully) and fuck it, if they would rather have no son then a son who likes firearms, then I guess I won't have a family. Besides, I am getting a better one soon anyways, and her sisters and mom LOVE guns.
ETA: I wonder if I can talk the guys at Turner's into giving me a discount for it being my 21st....
