And everybody else's too! I have an older (66) friend who I fool with guns with for the last 10 years. He is a single , affluent lonely man who was a ex alcholic who attends meetings everyday. I have been kind to him and have put most of his pieces in my safes as he only wanted to keep a shotgun,an M-1 and a pistol at his home and did want to be robbed .He doesn't reallly know how to care for a fiream(we clean them in my gun room ect, and I occasionly take him to range to instruct in safe shooting) . Well you can see where this is going, I smelled the characteristic ketosis on him the last few times he's been over. I DID confront him and he admitted he 'fell off the wagon' for a couple days a few weeks before. Anyway I think maybe the guy is getting a little senile for a number of reasons and alcohol certainly will not help the situation! He is a fellow churchman, and I spoke to pastor., who told him if he doesn't get into a program quick he won't make it. Question , besides freezing 'his assetts' I have controll of , should I disarm him?I would do it so not to freak him out , and it would be safe. I take responsible gun ownership seriously!!!! I don't want cops involved , nor should they be as there is no hint of threats or overt suicidal tendency. I just want to head off trouble and don't want the good name of the gun besmirched anymore. What do you think I should do? I am his only careing family?
