Is your dad considering adopting any new children any time soon? Where does one apply?

WOW! Your dad sure set the bar high for next year! My dad gave me a slap on the back and told me to drag the christmas tree out of his truck and to set it up for my mom! "rlol"

VERY nice, indeed! You're a lucky man to have a dad who loves you that much.

Yes, dads know how to do it right. I ordered ONE OF THESE yesterday for my son for Christmas. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Then I've got to figure out where to hide the box until Christmas day.

I wish I could find the video clip from A Christmas Story where Ralphie finally gets his Red Rider BB Gun from where it is hidden behind the desk. :mrgreen:

My son is getting an XD-40,my daughter an SP-101 in .357, helping out on son-in-laws DPMS Sportical .308 and wife is getting Sig P238 .380.

If I don't get a pistol for xmas would rocks as gifts next year be appropriate?

Thanks guys! He is a keeper of a Dad for sure "rlol" I won't ever forget this Christmas thats for sure. My dad has been a Colt fan for his entire life, and I think his eyes lit up just as much as mine when he gave it to me! He gave up a Colt Ace, Colt 1911 (true WW1 vintage from great-grandfather), and a Colt Hamerless .380 to fund the .50BMG so I know it was torture to be getting this as a gift instead of for him. Now he got bit BAD by the 1911 bug cause he went the same day to go finger a Colt Defender. :smilelol5: Luckily for me, he still needs to replace the Colt AR he gave up a couple years back :thumbs2:

Very Very nice. Bought my son a Marlin lever action .357 rifle in stainless. Guns are great gifts.
