Ok, I'll answer that with a 'no'. But hear me out. What kind of fond memories do you have? Which brings the biggest smile when you think back? Most women don't understand our attachment to our guns. Yes, a gun is a tool and a 'tool' has no spirt. But what we are dealing with here is not just a tool. We are dealing with memories. Memories of happy times and places. Memories of things done together. Memories of fall leaves, warm sun, a good dog, and quiet walks in the woods. Memories of a younger body, more stamina, and better eyesight. Of times long past when you could shoot cans and rats at the dump. Or dirt clods as you walked in the field and no one would get offended. Or possibly that one exceptional shot in front of your friends that won you their respect for years. Some guns are a reminder and a symbol of those times. Like a picture of your someone you have loved. It is just a picture, but it envokes strong memories of times long past. A gun that has traveled on your hip through many adventures is that kind of old friend. No, you don't worship it or fantisize over it. But it does bring a warm smile and a bright heart when you look at it or pick it up. That kind of friendship is to be honored. When the opportunity comes to share those things again, a gun is always ready and willing. Life is short, the good times go by much too soon. Maybe I can find some time on the next sunny day to go out again..........
