Aaron Lewis - 'Granddaddy's Gun' (Official Video)

[knighticon]

My grandfather took me shooting for the first time when I was 8. I remember he handed me a little 22 Remington. Told me to "point it down at that stump" he helped me put it to my shoulder. "Pull the trigger when your ready" and bang my first shot fired. He helped me shoot for the rest of the day. He bought me my first rifle a 308 Winchester. Good memories! On Christmas morning in 2011 he pulled me aside from everyone else, told me hes got cancer and that when he passes he wants me to have his guns. He pulled a long box out and said "dont open it until I'm gone." The day he passed I opened the box, it was his m1 grand and 1911 from ww2 along with a hand written letter from my pappy. It was about how this rifle had saved his life and how he traded a few bullets for a can of beans. I still have every single one of his guns except my 308 which my son has now and I taught him to shoot at the same stump with the same little 22 remington. That man changed my life I couldnt have asked for anything more. Thanks for the read y'all. Be safe out there. And god bless.

This song means so much to me. I cry every time I hear it.. rest in peace to all the grandads that helped make us who we are.

If you had this experience growing up and your papa is now gone, there is a 100% chance this will bring tears

[enystrom]

My baby picked this song for his Pappys (my daddys) funeral. The bond they had is one of the most special things I've ever witnessed. We miss him so much.

[poorlyplannedoutings]

this actually brings tears to me, i just wish i could have done more with my grandfather. 

[mnameisjefff]

I have many guns, but the one that will NEVER be sold is my grandfather's Ithica Model 37 feather light 16 Gauge. That thing kicks so hard it hurts my jaw, but is a treasure that will stay in my family

[RodNod-uiie]

Will never forget that man

Tought me a lot of things

God bless him

[diziplesp]

[Chibi]

Aaron Lewis is the only guy that can make me cry over a fuckin gun...

This song brings back such fond memories of my grandpa. He taught me to shoot starting at 5 years old with a old marlin model 25 and a few years later with an old single shot 12ga and a ruger mk2. The skills he taught me have saved my life and kept my family fed a number of times. Lord do I ever miss that man everyday.

It was actually my grandmother’s gun. A 30-30, that kept the creepers away when my grandfather was working in the fields. She was a pistolera in Mexico. Apparently, in her hey-day., a lot of fellas didn’t care she was married to a good man so took care of my mom and her 3 brothers and sister when a “gentlemen” caller came creeping by. Gracias Abuelita! You’re part of the reason I keep my guns clean, locked, and loaded.

You never realize how many memories a song can bring back until you listen to it

I remember everything my grandfather taught me like it was just yesterday but unfortunately he passed on going on two years now

I can say this to everyone that is still fortunate to have their grandparents it doesn’t hurt to go spend a few hours with them even if it’s late in the evening as long as you do it because when the hood lord decides it’s time you won’t have that chance again

Never walk out without saying I love you I promise you it hurts not getting to see a grandparent

[fishingfreaks]

This song hits hard. I was 13 when I got my grandfathers gun I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world

[jesseelliott]

Seven years ago I lost my grandpa, I got his 1961 Remington 870 wingmaster, every time I shoulder his gun, he is there with me, like he has been my whole life.

[jonathanshrewsberry]

This is the first song I heard Arron sing, and I have been a fan ever since! Thank you for all you do Arron!🇺🇸

[livinginh]

Brings back memories of my granddaddy and his old single shot 12 Guage, he even bought me my first gun, a 20 guage pump. I miss that man

[brandonsalyers]

I can't listen to this song without shedding a tear.

[strider]

Just saw this for the first time. Broke me. I still and always will have my Granddaddy's gun. It was what I learned to shoot with. He died in 1972 and the world is a lesser place without him. I have 7 Grandkids now and plan to pass his and mine to them. God bless ya Aaron.

[isLife-nnyl]

My grandfather was my hero. He was a Marine in Korea. He saved our family farm. I miss him.

[benwright]
