I didn't even think about all the guns my own father has that belonged to his father, his uncle, and one my uncles that passed at an early age. I totally understand handing them down as a family heirloom. Especially guys from my Dad and Grandfather's generation. They hunted together and the rifles and shotguns are very sentimental to them. I totally overlooked this when I made my previous post. It just struck me as weird that the girl's father had given the gun as a gift and now she is dead. It seemed like a strange graduation gift, but like I said, I forget that there are so many people that still hunt.
