Sometimes we make mistakes...

[Hanshi]

For years I owned a Matt Avance "EV rifle" in .50 caliber.  It was the easiest and most accurate target rifle I ever fired.  I also had to sell and it did hurt.  The chances of getting another is slim to none.

having raised 5 children  . 3 sons and 2 daughters.. and being a construction worker  married to a stay at home mom, i can relate to your story...Although i feel sacrifice rather than "mistake" is the better word. There were times gathered around the supper table watching my 3 sons eat that were downright scary!..lol..over the years we worked hard..we clothed ,we fed...we sacrificed. And yes sold a few guns when things got tough. One of my favorite rifles i sold to a man who later sold it . much to my astonishment the gun made it's rounds and ended up in the hands of a fine young man that married my daughter. Of which pleases me greatly......  your reward for your sacrifice was well earned.
