Do you have a "master plan" on what you will do with your guns as you get old?

I have also given this much thought. My father-in-law is 80 years old and legally considered blind, he can't drive and can't hardly read even with glasses. He has a large gun collection and I wonder what he is going to do. He won't talk about getting a will made or anything, he just says this gun goes to so and so and this one to so and so.

Well I have been there done that with my mother when she passed away. If there is no will made then your wishes might not get done. That was the way with my mother's estate.

So, I have been really considering having a will made and the biggest reason is that I want my firearms to remain in the family. So I want to give my oldest son all of my firearms, except for three of them. I want three particular firearms to go to my youngest son. These three he has admired ever since I got them. He (my yongest son) has his own firearm collection and it pretty much is exactly what I have except for the three that he has admired.

Honestly we all should think about what we have and who we want having it. I hated to see my mom's estate being sold.

Most if not all senior community buildings WILL NOT allow firearms of any kind. Reasons are obvious. Before you or if you are forced to move to a senior home/apt you better have a plan... and Will..... before hand unless you want your guns sold off for money to your heirs.

Depending on your health you may want to have a will made out now in case you sick or have a accident and are killed instantly. If you die tomorrow what will become of your collection that you have worked hard for?

Will them to your kids and give/sell away the ones you don't need when your get old enough.

Will them to someone who will appreciate them and take care of them.

If no one in your family likes or has guns.....sell them all except a HD pistol or shotgun and go enjoy a vacation or move to FL and enjoy life a little where your old bones will fell good in the warm climate or AZ. Both or gun friendly States.

After someone dies the family turns into vultures grabbing what they can. I thought I had a nice family until a few family members died and the house and bank accounts were cleaned out before I got home from the Military because they had no will.

Currently:

Per will all of my guns will be going to my kids, little lady, family, and friends.

My personal favorites will go to the kids, once they reach suitable age, and provided that they are responsible. They are to be held and maintained by other close family until then.

Other close family members will inherit most others.

More to my friends...Especially one who hunts with a Remington 710. I'll leave him a real rifle.

I have one pistol that I inherited from a friend who was killed, way too young. It will go back to his dad/brother/nephews, whoever is alive and well at the time.

By the time I reach an advanced age this will have seen some changes, more than once, I'm sure. No use leaving guns to other 85 years olds, right?

May this be a long way down the road, for all of us.

I'm 60, and have one grandson, who is 8 years old. I'm hopeful that he gravitates towards the shooting sports, as I'd hate to not pass along my firearms as heirlooms. I have a new in the box K-38 Combat Masterpiece, the first gun issued to me in the Air Force (S&W Model 15), and its never been fired. Its my Vietnam tribute gun. I also have an M-1 Garand that I spent days refinishing the furniture, and its a fine shooter. I bought it as a tribute to my Dad's service in WWII. The rest of my accumulation of guns are fine arms, and they will be his to do with as he wishes. The K-38 and the M-1 will hopefully pass to his children. That's the plan, but as we all know, no plan survives the first obstacle thrown at it. If he doesn't want the guns, I'm gonna sell them and go to Las Vegas for one final splash.

First I need to make sure my parents dont sucker me into selling them and/or go into my safe when I'm not home and pawn them on me using an guilt trip justification so I don't press charges (I have told them I will). Then I have to make sure if I ever get married that they don't force me to sell them. If they tell me to choose there gone. Then introduce my children early if I have any so that when I die they won't just go and sell them all.

But the thing is I'll probably never be married or have kids or even live with someone.

I was going to leave them to my sons but I think I will sell them off for my widow instead

I have seen too many guys leave guns to their kids only to see the kids sell them off and too many widows sell the guns for pennies on the dollar

I have already sold off more than 100 that I just don't have to time to shoot anymore

I have four guns that could be considered heirloom guns so each kid will get one handgun and one 22 rifle from my childhood passed down to me from uncles

I am considering selling off all but those now

I also have a trusted friend now who will see to their disposal at a fair price should I die tomorrow

Alzheimer's also runs strong in my family so I have made contentions for that also

As soon as it raises it's ugly head i will start selling and passing the guns out

Dementia and guns definitely don't mix

At some point when I'm too old to enjoy them or shoot safely, I'll pass them along to my son. If he has no interest, I'll just sell them through a dealer on consignment.

Just hope I live that long to have that kind of problem, if you know what I mean.

The "available" area of Underworld is that Kate's character is a vampire. subsequently, she would manage to be a effective lady. in case you elect to work out a lively replace on lady action stars, bypass over and study the IMDB message boards of the action picture "Haywire."

I hope my kids will still have an interest in shooting when I'm gone and will take my guns and reloading gear and keep using it. I have left a provision in my will that if my kids do not, or cannot take my guns and gear when i die, that my guns and gear are to be sold and the procedes donated to the NRA.

I'm only 19 now but I'll definitely be leaving my guns to my kids/grandkids (assuming guns are still legal 50+ years from now).

actually I'll still leave them to my kids/grandkids
