I own a few, but the one that stands out is not the most expensive, or the most valuable. It is a Marlin 22 mag. That gun, named Maggie- has been with my family about 22 years. I have had to pawn it for money for bills, gas and groceries from time to time. I always went back for it.
Well, a couple of Christmases ago, my daughter really had taken a shine to it. My wife asked me if I would be willing to give it to her for Christmas. I had to think long and hard on it. I did it. Before I gave it to her, I told her that she had better not ever consider selling it. I don't have a son to pass mine to, so the feeling was the same. She loves that gun. I expect that some time down the road, her kids will be holding it.
How about y'all? Any special ones to you?
