a good parent

QFT


Damn right in this instance. It's not a parent giving a six year old child a gun. It's a parent giving a grown child with a wife and family and protection needs a gun. Pull your head out your butt.

He's just an 8 year old kid, he's can't kill all the adults.

Just kidding. Honestly though, it's really better to be exposed to guns and feel comfortable around them. People kill people not guns.

My dad is ex military, so I've been schooled in firearms since I was about 14. THis is my first gun of my own though. I do agree that children should be taught the PROPER use of firearms early on. Better for them to know than to find one around the house and start playing with it.

Holy crap. I didn't know how expensive they were. I'm not really sure if it's a 22 or a 23. I remember him telling me that it had night sights though and I BELIEVE it is a hi capicity.
 
I want a parent like that. "Son, i thought of getting u a letter opener, but i thought that this would be more useful" *hands kid a minigun*

LoL, you know nothing about firearms do you? You dont even know what model you have when its on the side of the gun. You dont know if you have nightsights which is fairly easy to figure out, turn out the lights.

And lastly, theres no such thing as a low capacity gun, just a low capacity magazine. 😛 You can purchase glocks with nuetered 10 rd mags or full capacity mags, theres no difference in the gun itself.
 
You said he wanted to take you out to dinner and give you your present. I'm hoping he didn't have it all wrapped up and had you open it at the restraunt. I can see the waitress walking up as you opened the box and pulled the gun out, "Is everything alright here folks?"

My birthday is the first of August. My dad is going to be out of town then, so he called and invited me and my wife out to dinner last night. He said he wanted to go ahead and give me my gift. It was a Glock .40 :Q He knew I had been looking at getting a pistol for target shooting, home defense etc.. Kinda shocked me, cause these are pretty expensive right?


Hmm, wonder what he is trying to tell me?:shocked:
he wasn't trying to tell you anything except that he knew you were looking to buy a pistol.
so he bought one for you.

<- gun noob. what does "OD", "night sights", and "compensated" mean?

OD = green (probably stands for olive drab or something like that)
night sights = tritium sights, glow in the dark
compensated = gas vent on front of barrel (on the top) to counteract recoil

BTW as far as decent guns go Glocks are cheap. For the price they are quite good, but they are not expensive guns.

Viper GTS
 
Compensators reduce muzzle rise. The felt recoil remains the same, the compensator just redirects it , so that time to sight on target is better.
