Can I be buried with my pistol?

[Feanaro]

You are 34, a lot of time before your last day.

You HOPE. No one knows when they are going. That is why you plan ahead, not on your death-bed.

Why not? I saw a newspaper article about a guy who was buried in his Corvette. I hope you have a long time before you meet your maker. However,please make sure your affairs are in order at all times. We just buried a 31 year old cousin. He died of liver cancer. Just 26 days between diagnosis and the cemetary.

I suppose you could but just keep in mind I have access to a backhoe.

Mike, you got hiking boots?

I do.


To borrow from a sadly overused phrase: "The ULTIMATE 97 year-old autoloading rifle. You know it, you FEAR it, you love it."

Actually, I plan to be buried with my .45 and my Randall Model 14 bowie knife. I don't know where I'm going, but I plan to have both hands full when I get there.

Two possibilities. One way, you won't need it. The other, it won't do you any good.

If you are buried with a gun and ammo, aren't you actually being cached?

Maybe this is the origin of the term "caching out"!

Finally, when it's your time, let Charles Schumer know-he'll probably be happy to bury THOUSANDS of guns with you!

 

[Preacherman]

Antibubba, let's sneak a loaded handgun into Chuckie's coffin when they finally bury him. Talk about eternal unrest!

 

[XLMiguel]

It's OK with me.

Re:bureaucracy, I'd do my homework, and if local regs get in the way, do Plan B with someone (fellow Viking?) you trust to 'pack' you away properly. Don't ask, don't tell

Personally, I've asked to be cremated and my ashes spread over an oysterbed in the Chesapeake, I figure it's my last, best chance to be a 'pearl of a guy'.
