1) Yes it is our responsibility to teach.

2) I can't hold the fact that it was his dad's against him. I have a good few of my dad's, but they hold no memory for me. We didn't hunt with 'em, collect them or even discuss them. They "existed" not to be touched, fondled and/or spoken of. Those hold no "nostalgia" for me. Will I sell 'em, likely not, but not because of "ownership" provenance. I'm not being rude, but it is simply because he and I didn't share a memory of any of 'em.

3) If one gets a deal at a gun show, NICE SCORE and likely very well earned! Entirely different scenario.
