Amazing what a little time and patience can do!
Amen. My father is what most would call a hardcore Democrat. 10 years ago he viewed my interest in AR-15's / AK's as "Why would a sane person ever have a need for something like that? Only military and police should need those weapons"
Two weeks ago we were hunting pigs together with our "twin" LMT MRP's running 30-round clips full of Corbon DPX. Everytime he gets a new gadget or orders an upgrade part...he calls me to try and convince ME to get one too. I just ROFL and roll my eyes alot...oh how the tides have changed.
