This is the first time I heard someone treating their guns like their pets.
He said, "I want them to go to a good home,"
Thanks for sharing 😊

Firearms last a long time and the operator/owner can become quite connected to them, or one particular one, the favourite, and so letting them go can feel quite odd. I sold one of my long range rifles a little while back and I still miss owning it even though I didn't shoot it that much (the reason I sold it). I regret selling it and which it was back home where it belongs.
I certainly don't think a firearm is anywhere close to being as precious as my pets are to me but most firearms owners will think of their firearms as much valued items.
My dad applied for a weapon (a bit scary too xD). Yes, he is in the navy, so he can get one from the government at a cheaper rate. I'll show you the weapon when it arrives. I'm somewhat excited about it, although I don't plan to ever fire it, even for practice. I do have some nice old photos with guns :)
That might make for a nice post if you feel like it.
