There will be a stipulation in the will to never sell or trade these guns but to always pass them on in like manner. I don't believe this has the force of law. It will be worded to their soul: on your honor...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's thought that. I never thought I was, but I never saw it mentioned before now.I want to be buried with two 1911's and some mags full of ammo just in case. I know it’s silly but I’m dead grant me this one last indulgence.
If it's not legal....I guess I'll give them some GPS coordinates and let them find them on their own.
One idea is to give them away, one by one, to deserving people as you get older - maybe that young enthusiast at your gun club, or the helpful neighborhood kid, etc. Then you can get your satisfaction out of the guns while still alive and appreciative.
For giving outside the family (or even within) you ought to write up a short biography of yourself & what you know of the history of the weapon, laminate it & stick it under the butt plate. Having a history of who once owned the weapon can only increase the intangible value of it years from now.

I'd give guns away in my old age—tomorrow, for example—if I knew any young shooters who'd appreciate them.
