What are you going to with your guns when you die?

Well, here in CA, when you die, you cannot leave your "assault weapons" to anybody, which is just fine with me. You see, when I die, I have requested that my AR-15 be rendered inoperable and buried with my body. That way, in the afterlife, my spirit can be reunited with the spirit of my rifle, and we can journey together on the road to Valhalla.
 
Living trust with explicit instructions. Maybe a few in a good place for when the SHTF kinda like Travis McGee book wrote about. :scrutiny:
 
My youngest son gets them. The oldest could care less about them and have his eye on other things around here.
 
I have 2 sons now and will probably have more in the future. All my firearms will go to them.
 
Just so you'll know, 15 is very young to decide not to have kids. I made the same decision at 15, 20, 23, uh, first boy at 25.

I also know that you won't believe me, and that's okay. Enjoy it while you can.
 
I'm donating my entire arsenal to Sarah Brady after I croak! I bet she would just orgasm shooting the .50 Caliber Rifle! :D
 
Nothin', I hope. Death tends to prevent most physical interactions. I don't wanna be no durned zombie! :evil:

When I become *cough*... old, I will pass out the wealth. Give all my firearms and unneeded things to brothers(no sisters to give anything to, unless my father uses PVC piping to reverse that vasectomy), cousins, children, and so forth before the government can tax it. Though a few guns may follow me into the Great Beyond. There might be ghouls, goblins, and Ted Kennedys on the other side. ;)

'Course, I have a will just in case. If what my mother says is correct, I'll be dead before 30. :D

Good answer Vern! +1 here :cool:

2 of my 3 sons are LEOs so I will leave them in better hands than mine.

I dislike that Idea.

Which part do you dislike? My brothers have certainly met me, and they aren't just related to me by marriage. They are my actual, real deal, beat the crap out of each other when we were little, brothers. It's not like two strangers will be fighting for control of my guns. Plus the coin flip just seemed fair. It's what we did to split up my dad's knife collection, and no one got stabbed, so it must have worked OK.
 
Well if I die before the husband and being that we have no children as of yet...he always teases me and says he'll bury me with my 2 45's one in each hand crossed across my chest :evil:
 
If I have time before I die I'll get my three good friends over for a cook out and give them my guns. Except one that I may need.

If I die suddenly they have instruction to have a cook out and divide up my guns.

There are a couple guns earmarked for certain people. Like one friend wants my Wife's 1903 Colt 32 and a particular M1 Garand.
 
It might be a good idea to list the approximate value of each gun. I have listened to a lot of gun show dealers swear that they took advantage of a widow. I would hate to have these laughing hyenas get my guns cheap.
She will want to get rid of most guns. She owns her own Glock and that is her only gun. I insisted that she learn to defend herself in case anything happens to me. She has been safety trained but needs futher combat training.
No kids and my nephews/ nieces have no interest in firearms. I may give few to old friends.

that's a crazy story, and a damn good motivation for me to send a new will to my lawyer hs friend up in oregon. he's my executor and i'm his.

Uh...nothing....I'll be dead. :evil:

I figure Heaven will be full of custom 1911's and Hell won't let me have them anyway. :fire:

I like Vern's answer best. :D

Seriously though..I intend to leave my weapons to my children.
 
My wife has instructions to have a friend of mine (he has and knows guns) to assist with selling my firearms (we have no children). His appreciation will be to take any one of the firearms as his own and all the ammo and any holsters that remain.

Q.E.D.

I have a specific provision in my will that all firearms I own at the time of my death will be held in trust for my son and given to him when he turns 21. (Nice thing about having only one kid, no worries about how to divide them up.)

My son is only 4 now. I plan to spend a lot of time training him in the safe and responsible use of firearms, but just as importantly, teaching him the practical and philosophical reasons for owning weapons. If I don't have the opportunity to do that, I have directed my wife to give him my Jeff Cooper books when he is in middle school. I'll just have to hope for the best.
 
I owned 3 handguns that had a family history behind them. One was Grandpa Tom's service revolver, S&W .32 Long (state police issue in the 1930s!); and 2 that Grandpa Dan brought back from WW-I, a Colt 1918 revolver (.45 ACP) and a 1911. All 3 are in really nice condition, original holsters, etc. especially, now that I think of it, the 1911.

Each of my 3 children had, over the years, expressed interest in one of the 3 and they all especially liked a different one. (Happy situation, that.)

So, at Thanksgiving a few years back, I gave each of the 3 the one they wanted. I'm happy, they're happy.

I suppose my being a bit long in the tooth made my decision to pass these guns along easier but there you have it.

btw, they were all a tad worried at first as to why I was doing this but I assured them that nothing was wrong, etc.
 
Here's one for the flagpole.

Give a trusted friend the key to your house, the code to disable the alarm system and the combination to the gunsafe, along with the instructions that while everyone is at your funeral, he goes in and "disappears" the guns.
