Well a good friend and co-worker of mine is very close to adding another bundle of sleepless nights and years of joy to their lives sometime this weekend...
He also has been the one, who has done a lot of research and study on what he considers a serious issue and thats his first pistol purchase...
He's pretty much sold on the M&P .40's, and I figure this weekend which may be just after they induce the labor and have the child, he's ready to go to Pasadena and get a gunshow deal on one...
I just thought it was kinda funny, yet not sure if anyone else has heard if anyone else having celebrated a birth and gone out and bought a firearm...
Stranger things I assume have happened, but then again I can be very strange...
Thought y'all would enjoy the story...

Well from what I hear, it'll be a boy...So stowing away a "Texas Toothpick" might be kinda neat...Will938 wrote:Tell him to buy a nice knife or something the day his kid is born, so he can put it away and forget about it until he turns 18.
My dad did that for me, and it ment a lot...but I didn't know about it/get it until I was 21, lol.
He just sold a dirt-bike and has about $950 buring a hole in his pocket for the last couple of weeks...And has been looking forward to this weekend to go out and see what kind of deal he can get...

Re: Post Pardum Pistol Purchase...
I didn't go out and buy a gun to celebrate the birth of either of my two sons, but the pending arrival of the second made me realize how precious they are to me, so I applied for my CHL. Got it a few days before Father's Day, too.stevie_d_64 wrote:I just thought it was kinda funny, yet not sure if anyone else has heard if anyone else having celebrated a birth and gone out and bought a firearm...

In all seriousness, I find that kind of heartwarming...barres wrote:I didn't go out and buy a gun to celebrate the birth of either of my two sons, but the pending arrival of the second made me realize how precious they are to me, so I applied for my CHL.
