My Father's Gun Collection
My father has been passionate about weapons and hunting since he was a kid, he always tells me about how he and his brothers would go with their father to their ranch and hunt over the weekend, and since those days he developed a passion for guns and hunting. His grandfather also had this love for guns and had a big collection of them, and when he died he gave some of them to my father, and to this day he still has them, and has gotten new ones over the years. He’s always constantly buying and selling guns, and always trying them out in the shooting range, sometimes he takes me to shoot, but I don’t feel the same love for guns as he does, I´m not very good with them anyways. My father is really good, although he doesn’t do it to improve his skill or to be better than everyone else he’s good because he loves to use the guns as much as he can, he sometimes competes but his main reason is usually just to meet and have fun with his friends and fellow gun lovers. Since I was a kid my father has constantly kept me in contact with guns and trying them out, always making sure I follow all of his safety rules, but even though I don´t have that passion, it’s still a lot of fun to use them, he has showed me how to handle and put together double-barrel shotguns, pistols, and rifles, which are all really fun to use but the most fun would probably be either the shotguns or the pistols. My father has always kept gun safety as priority number one when he lets me use them, and stores them in a locked room, only he has the key to, but even if he didn’t have this room he has always made it clear how serious and dangerous guns can be, so that I would always be careful and aware of the consequences and never dared to use one without his permission and consent. My father also loves hunting with these guns and when he brings me with him in these trips we have a lot of fun because we get to connect with nature and disconnect from the modern world, we also spend a lot of time with friends and cousins which we don´t get otherwise, this is why my father loves guns and hunting.
