Great stuff Jon. I raised two daughters (grown and gone now) so I can relate.
There is a local gun shop that has a single barrel shotgun on the wall. The barrel, trigger guard and trigger are painted gold and the stock is painted a glossy pearl white with decals of roses.
There is a sign below it - "Father's Gun"
I think the bullet version is more universally understood than the 12ga. Pretty risqué post in this day and age.
Jon, I like the first one best. I have three daughters so I know where you're coming from. The downside to your images is that you're daughter is going to end up living with you forever. Make the first one into a poster and you'll be able to retire.

I see no harm in showing them my gun vault and explaining that, 40 years ago I wrote articles about firearms.
