So what happens when gun owners age to the point of dementia, and can no longer make rational decisions regarding their gun possession and use?
When they no longer recognize spouses, family members or outside caregivers and point loaded weapons at these "strangers" in their homes?
Interesting article that discusses these issues and gives some pointers such as setting up trusts that allow a chosen trustee to be able to remove firearms possessed by loved ones when they deem it necessary.
Not something we'd like to think about, but with an aging population of gun owners it may be something we have to think about, for our parents or ourselves.
Here's the article:
