family
In human society, family (from Latin: familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or affinity (by marriage or other relationship). The purpose of families is to maintain the well-being of its members and of society. Ideally, families would offer predictability, structure, and safety as members mature and participate in the community. In most societies, it is within families that children acquire socialization for life outside the family, and acts as the primary source of attachment, nurturing, and socialization for humans. Additionally, as the basic unit for meeting the basic needs of its members, it provides a sense of boundaries for performing tasks in a safe environment, ideally builds a person into a functional adult, transmits culture, and ensures continuity of humankind with precedents of knowledge.
Anthropologists generally classify most family organizations as matrifocal (a mother and her children); patrifocal (a father and his children); conjugal (a wife, her husband, and children, also called the nuclear family); avuncular (for example, a grandparent, a brother, his sister, and her children); or extended (parents and children co-reside with other members of one parent's family).
Members of the immediate family may include spouses, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters. Members of the extended family may include aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and siblings-in-law. Sometimes these are also considered members of the immediate family, depending on an individual's specific relationship with them, and the legal definition of "immediate family" varies. Sexual relations with family members are regulated by rules concerning incest such as the incest taboo.
The field of genealogy aims to trace family lineages through history. The family is also an important economic unit studied in family economics. The word "families" can be used metaphorically to create more inclusive categories such as community, nationhood, and global village.
I have had one class and a private lesson, went with family. We all loved it shooting with red dots, lights, and laser. The told me we need more training I didn’t think that would happen and someone else said they want to take a class by themselves. The range is awesome. My favorite is a Sig...

This one is getting waaay off topic, but I am hoping there may be some people on this forum who may be to provide some direction. I have only ever owned one dog of my own in my life. He was a yellow lab and that was almost 30 years ago. The folks had a lhasso apso during my teen years, but I am...
When I was a kid in the 1950's, some of our treasured family possessions were army blankets that had found their way back to our home after the war. These wool blankets were typical OD US Army types, plus one Australian Army blanket my dad got overseas. Those things wore like iron. They saw...
If it works they will tell their friends so this technique may spread to other cities. I could see how this would work unless the drivers already know about the ploy.

Recently there was various posts about supplying family, friends or neighbors with a gun.
I’ve got my own opinion on handing out firearms to people, and although I definitely wouldn’t advise it in most cases because if they haven’t already done their due diligence already in advance acquire at...
I looked around the web and couldn't find an answer to my question. Then I found you fine folks and decided to give it a spin here.
The situation:
In 2015, I had several firearms stolen from my apartment. I legally owned all of these firearms. A proper police report was made listing all said...
Here's the scenario:
Family in Oregon has a couple of shotguns (one with pistol brace configuration, one standard stock) that they are giving to their eldest son. Eldest son lives in California, but drives up to Oregon to be with family on the regular.
If the shotgun w/ brace ('pistol') is a...
I wanted to share a positive experience I had at a shop in Oregon. I stopped there to see what was in stock as I had done business with them in Corvallis and I wanted to check out their Salem shop. A younger man, his wife and boy were in the shop. They had explained their financial relationship...
My father passed away this week and I am his executor. Sad how this sort of thing brings out the vultures with their disingenuous comments and/or vile accusations. One minute feigning kindness, the next spewing venom when it does not go as they imagined. And this when my dad's body was still...
