My grandpa was lifelong pro-funz.

>Brought back Kachin-style Dha sword (Dha Ma), and a kukri that he traded for.
>Helped local headhunters and natives by shooting monkeys with a Thompson/M1 Carbine.
>Taught my father to use guns.
>Last went hunting around the age of 75 (or somewhere in his 70s).
>His last deer was taken with a 300 yard shot. When my dad got to it, he couldn't find any entry or exit points. Until he looked at the eye.

>>31378083
He doesn't even let his kid shoot, you think a grandkid would get trigger time?

Fuck man. War is hell, and it kills people. My entire life I thought he was a dick, he was just plagued by his demons.

He seems like someone who would be hard to live with desu. Like he puts on a show for the camera but spending a lot of time with him would make you want to fucking kill yourself

Keep the hood safe H.

But I don't get that impression from him. He seems like a genuinely nice and friendly guy. I'd love to have him in my family.

I could live with that.
I had one with PTSD and another with black lung.

Shit sucks man

It's fun having retired gunsmiths as family members. My dad and his best friend started making civil war era canons as a hobby/small business years ago and still do.

Helping them out on their latest project made me realize how much I'll miss them when they're gone.

Yeah. That's what I've heard too.

>>31378083
Both grandparents were military, one who died before I was born was communist intelligence officer in nationalist Beijing during Chinese Civil War under cover of a chef in major hotel. Wish he was alive, imagine all the stories.

I wish. Paternal grandfather was a 3 war vet as a ranger in WW2, best korea, and Nam. Stupid bad ptsd, left my grandma with 8 kids when my dad was 2. Killed himself when my dad was 15.

Moms dad was a P51 mustang mechanic in the Ww2. Slated British pussy pretty much. He died when i was 8. Was a hunting motherfucker from what I'm told though. I wish I had inherited their badassery.

My Gramps was in Korea. Always wanted to ask him about it before it's too late, but the poor man can barely talk much less hear.
