My father had a single firearm a double barreled LC Smith, which he kept locked up. I can't remember one time he went hunting, but when the discussion around the dinner table turned to hunting, my Uncle would come down for Thanksgiving ever year bringing my Grandmother down for Dinner because my Mother was the greatest cook this side of Heaven, my Dad always seemed to know alot about the subject. My Uncle was a deer hunter, deer season starts in Pennsylvania the Monday after Thanksgiving. When I started hunting my Dad broke out that LC Smith and I started hunting with it. When he passed my older brother got it, but I got the Ithaca NID from my Uncle when he got too sick to hunt.
I figure if the double barrel was good enough for my Dad and my Uncle then its good enough for me.
All the best
