I was in my favorite gun shop today just looking to burn up some extra cash I had. While I was in the store there was an older man (mid-80's) he had at least 7 or 8 guns that he was selling to the shop. From listening to the conversation he was having with the buyer at the store I gathered 3 things.
1. He was selling the guns because he has began to "forget things" and does not want to have guns in the house.
2. He did not have family to inherit the guns.
3. He seemed upset to let them go but he seemed to know that he was doing the right thing.
I dont know the details beyond that, weather he just had little family left or if none of the family wanted guns.
I did not pay attention to how much he was getting for each gun but they were all oder guns including at least 2 rifles that looked like they had seen a few hunts.
I found the whole situation sad because the guns will survive but the stories behind them will no longer be attached.
