Default What will happen to your guns after death

Not having a very good sleep, so my mind is traveling far and this thought creeps in. "When the inevitable finally occurs, what is going to happen to your guns?". Who is up? Lets talk.

I’ve specifically made a list of which nephew gets which gun. My son will get
The majority. The restricteds will go to my wife.

The guns aren't a problem, it is all the other stuff that goes with them that will be work to remove.

We will not have to worry about it, the Turdo will be taking the restricted ones away from us to stop the gun shootings in Toronto, problem solved!

One of my kids asked me that very question this weekend!

I said, "Your MOM gets them ALL!"

Going thru this with my dad right now. Keeping the sentimental guns which will be divided up between my brother, his daughter and myself and my kids. As we were going thru all these guns my dad said " one day you'll have this problem". Since then I've been kind of whittling the safe queens out and trying to replace with quality instead of quantity.

Trudeau is taking the guns away from us and leaving them in the hands of the coddled criminals because he knows a criminal won't shoot him.
Mine are willed to my family.

Going to friends.

If there is anything they don't want or can't possess, they get sold and the proceeds go to a charity.

A few disposable firearms will be left in the safe so when the government finally does outlaw all firearms there will be something for them to seize in order to cross me off the list. The rest will remain buried at a secret location. A detailed letter will then be sent to the government explaining exactly how many "dangerous firearms and killer bullets" are still unaccounted for. That should **** off who ever is in charge.

Or I will do like Sarah Connor did in Terminator 3, all my firearms and ammo will be placed into the casket and buried while my ashes are disposed of else where. Should my friends or family need firearms for the inevitable revolution they will know where to find them.

The wife will probably sell them for what I told her I paid.
What a shame.

And some think it’s inconvenient you have to canoe to Mikes place! The only bad part is how rough the water gets out there.

Have it directly in my will. Guns will be held in trust until my boys are 18 and then will be split evenly dependent on value and desire. If I die after they're 18 and they'll receive them directly. If one of them doesn't want his half the other can buy from him at 50% of fair market value.
