I would thank him, and make a date to go target shooting. I am not into hunting or anything, but it might be fun to go target shooting. I would also start pricing gun safes.
never heard the term target pistol but im no military man either – but guns cost alot of money so id be happy – thats i oretty nice gesture – aslong as its not stolen
I would be confused. My friends know I’m not a fan of handguns – or any guns for that matter. My friends would be much more likely to gift me with a yew longbow or a longsword.
I’d be upset because guns are icky, nasty things that shoot cop-killing, fully automatic, baby-seeking teflon coated bullets from extended banana clips~
I would be thrilled. Most target pistols are really expensive, and I collect and shoot guns, so it would be an appropriate gift for me.
What are we talking here, something like a Ruger Mark II, or one of those funky Olympic pistols?
KENT STATE. I graduated from there as did several of my family members. My first year there I stayed in the dorm that housed one of those whom were shot. The memorial was just outside our backdoor.
What’s wrong with the gift? Return it if it is something you dislike or pay it forward to someone who would like it and use it. A target pistol (assuming it’s a p22) is a really nice gift and it’s not designed to kill, it’s designed to peirce paper targets backed by ½ inch wood. You’d be lucky if you could kill someone at almost point blank range with it. Guns are safe in the hands of knowledgable users.
That’d be sweet! I’ve really been wanting to book some lessons at the local range to learn how to fire a gun… and target shooting (the kind where you just shoot plastic targets, not cute little birds) looks like fun!
I recently bought a P22 for the wife unit and found it to be a great little pistol. Been earning NRA Rockers with i( breaking it in 3;-). The factory laser is an added treat.
I’d wonder if he was hit in the head given that he knows my extreme dislike of anything having to do with guns whatsoever and I’d give it back to him and tell him that such an object does not belong in my house and I will not have it anywhere near my children.
I just got the basic p22 with the laser. it is black, but I think they all are. I heard of problems with the slide on the long barrel so stuck with the short barrel, better for CCW anyway and plenty accurate to 25 meters
