Ok, so We moved from our house where I grew up back in 2002 when I was 25. I was a gun guy even before then but when we moved there were 2 rifles that were my dad's (who passed in 1999). At the time I was more into handguns but had somewhat lost interest in any kind of gun, maybe just the point in my life I was at, I guess.At the time, wasn't married, didn't have a good job, no place of my own, decent girlfriend who I had just started dating (turned out to be a stupid bitch). I don't know, maybe I was just down in the dumps that day. I had never been hunting (actually still have never been) and didn't want to take the guns with us when we were packing up, so I gave them to the guy my suster was dating at the time. He was a good enough guy, a gun entusiast, (heck, he may even be here on this forum), and didn't really want to take them, but I insisted. They were a .22 Bolt action (can't remember the make) and a Savage .300. Well, fast forward to now, I'm married, now have kids of my own (young kids) and have been back into the shooting/collecting/carrying arena for a few years and I always have thought it would be nice to get those guns back, even if I had to pay the guy for them. Part of me just wantes to have the .22 to give to my son who's 3 years old in a few years when he's ready to shoot. My sister had communicated with dude maybe a year ago via FB but I can't find him on there at all. So I mentioned to her that I would like to chat at him and she messaged him again yesterday and told him why (although I would have rather done it as my sister lacks tact usually). The guy from what i remember is a nice enough dude, we got along pretty well back then, were mutual friends of another guy that i went to school with and I'd like to believe that if he still has them, that he'd give them back or sell them back for a reasonable price). What do you all think? |

called Indian giving I believe. I probably wouldn't give them back or sell them. Yeah, i don't think there's a tactful way you could come out of the blue and ask for them back. Now if you bumped into him for other reasons, maybe in conversation something may come up. |

So you were always a "gun guy", but you give away two rifles your father gave you to some random guy who was plowing your sister at the time? Fail... My father didn't give them to me. They were in a closet we were cleaning out as we packed. If they had been pistols, I would never have given them away. |
