ok my mom... so she wanted something for when my stepdad went hunting. i got her a marlin three years ago. she shot it today, lol. i bought her a pistol too. a 22 tip up. i told her to watch the slide. well last week she shot it for the first time and the slide bit her. i think its almost a year since i bought it, lol. so i made her put a few boxes thru that to get her used to shooting it. took my ruger and a few pistols. she liked the beretta 87T and my ruger 10/22 but didnt want me to leave them there. anyway, she made tamales so it was a fun day
