Rifles as wedding gifts
« on: July 24, 2013, 05:16:46 PM »
My husband thinks it's too personal to give the bride and groom a "his and hers" hunting rifle for a wedding gift. I thought it was a great idea (since I have no other ideas). What do you guys think?

Too personal? Never heard of that one before... are they close friends? Do it I'd say! Sounds awesome.

My husband is the best man and I'm a brides maid if that gives you any idea how close we are. I want to do it, I just have to convince him it's not that personal... it's a free firearm for god sake's!

I think it sounds brilliant much better than a toaster or place setting or whatever it is they usually do for wedding things....plus they are then equally armed in the event.... :chuckle: :chuckle:

Awesome if you guys know them well and that they'll be responsible with them.  :tup:

Do you know for a fact that neither is a felon or has any restriction regarding owning a firearm? That would be a problem for you.

I dunno, I kind of think it is a bit personal myself.  But, as long as you didn't expect them to hunt with the rifles just because you bought them, I guess it would be very cool.  Like a matching set of Winchester 94's in 30-30 or something classic and cool like that...

A really good friend gave us an old 22 rifle for our wedding. Great idea! I'll never get rid of it!
