Well, in my case, the last gun I bought was an elderly friend's collection. He was selling his house and wanted to sell his rifles and shotguns. I tried my best to talk him out of selling his stuff - I hate to see that happen. But he was definitelly insistent.
Included in the lot was:
1. 1947 vintage Winchester 94 in 32 Win SPL. His father have him this rifle for his 14th birthday,
2. 1966 vintage Rem 700 in 270 with Leupold 3x9x40,
3. Double barrel 410 shotgun,
4. Double barel 20 gauge shotgun,
5. 1988 vintage Ruger 10/22 with a 4 power Taiwan Tasco.
He also threw in the gun cabinet, too.
It turned out he made the right decision to sell his firearms. Within a year of my purchase, he had to be admitted into a dementia facility.
I visit him every Sunday, at least prior to the virus lockdown, and will continue to do so when visitors are again allowed. He can remember faces but no names. Doesn't matter, as when I walk in, he lights up like a Christmas tree. And inside, so do I...
