My Grandfather had a Winchester model 12 in 12 gauge.
He gave it to my father to hunt with when he was a kid.
My father gave it to me and we hunted many times together.
I have given it to my son. He's not much of a hunter, but you could not pry it out of his hands if you tried!! It goes to his kid when the time is right.
Guns were a valuable asset around the home in years gone by. Handing down these heirlooms is a great tradition that thankfully survives today.

Thanks for the replies... It sort of hit me when he handed it to me exactly what he was doing. Like i had said, he has given me a couple other guns that he had bought used along the years, but this one was his that he purchased new and kept all these years and basically the last one he still was holding on to. I think he said he paid $113 for it, which was a good chunk of change back then. It also amazes me how for all his life, he never ever spoke about the war, and now he opens up and tells a story or two...
