Would you want to be buried with one of your firearms?

I am 21 so my view may change as I age, but I agree with the passing it on comments however part of me would like to buy an AR or other "Evil" rifle to take with me, mostly to piss off the gun grabbers.

Are their legal implications in this?
 
Hmmm,

Must be a guy thing, consider this if you will. When my Gramps died, Dad took the old man's 'swing block' Springfield out and shot a deer with it. At the funeral dinner, when the venison was served, Dad announced that the 'Old Man' was still feeding his family.

I'm told that in 1969, my great grandfathers' '09' revolver helped my Uncle Lee to get back to a bunker after his M-16 jammed. Had that revolver been buried with Great Grandfather in 1948 Uncle Lee might have killed back then.

Our tools serve us, if they continue their functions after we are gone a part of us lives on through them. If they follow us to the grave we die just a bit more.

Guns Don't Die

When I'm done with this body, it won't be the gun that has died.

My guns, my knives, and my other tools will all be handed down to my offspring and their offspring.

I want to know that Madison is shooting Grampa's gun.

I want my grandkids to tell their grandkids, "this gun protected your great-great grandfather; take care of it, use it wisely."

I want the flame kept alive, and the tools kept shiny and used daily. They don't belong in a coffin or a museum, but at the range and in the woods and in the home.

The body they'll cremate isn't me. I'll be somewhere else. And if there are guns in that "somewhere else" I'll be at the range.
 
I would not want to be buried with a firearm. My request is to be buried with the ashes of my husky, who was much more than a friend to me.
 
I won't need my guns for the dirt nap. Once I'm dead I won't need to defend my life. Corpses don't need guns, and I would much rather have my son keep them and think of me when he handles them.

My uncle, Dad's brother, passed away a couple years before Dad did. Both were USAF AP's in the 60's along with another brother who was an Army MP in Korea.

Uncle Don suggested the Marines needed a break at the front gate, so he called a couple good Air Force NCO's to the post. Since they carried M15's, he'd have no use for that Model 65.
 
My first thought was: heck no, I have no use for them any longer- let my family enjoy them.

But I've reconsidered. Give all the sentimental ones to my family. In my will, I will direct to buy the most useful modern weapon that exists at the time. I want it hermetically sealed in a vacuum (in its own container) next to me in the grave.

That way, when they grab for too much power after I'm gone, I'm still supplying some use. (Dig me up boys!)
 
Good question. I can understand a man wanting to be buried with a trusted weapon, but it seems like such a waste. When my time comes I want my guns given to those who will appreciate them, which I hope will be my sons and grandsons.
 
I wouldn't want to just for the fact that others could continue to enjoy them. Placing anything in a casket (body included) always seemed wasteful to me. The departed are just that; departed. Use that money to buy some guns and have a range party. :cool:

Although I have some wishes for who gets my stuff, I really don't plan to be around to find out if those wishes were honored. Once I'm gone, I'll be out of here the first chance I get to go find out all the stuff I couldn't find out while I was alive.

there is a potawatomi legond about the trail to the happy hunting ground being filled with danger and enemies. there is a large strawberry at the halfway point and a warrior must have a knife to cut a piece off so that he can eat and rest.

my grandfather was buried on the reservation and between family and friends he was sent well armed sent a .44 mag strapped to his ankle 5 boxes of sp ammo at least 2 dozen knives of different varieties i dont even know how many cigs (everybody in the place left some when they were at the casket... there were literaly piles) a fifth of jd and a six pack of bud

as for myself anything that has been banned at that time will be sealed and put into the walls of my house along with ammo id like an ak and a couple hundred rounds along with my favorite smith and wesson knife to go with me

the rest are for my daughter (as is the house ill leave her a note where the guns are)
 
Yes. A single one, with a hundred rounds of ammunition or so. All sealed up, or packed in cosmoline, buried with me. Then, there will be explicit instructions left that when the day it is needed comes, to dig me up and take it.

Or, I'll be cremated and I'll hide a gun or two and leave directions to find it (if I don;t get the chance to personally show the kids/grandkids where they are)
 
If it's time to bury me, it's time to dig me up! :evil:


Seriously though... What caliber for worms?

Oh. maybe I'll come back as an armed zombie! So lotsa ammo please!
 
I absolutely intend to be buried with a gun. I have worked on an archaeological dig before (Cadir Hoyuk, Turkey...) and I definitely intend to be a future exhibit for archaeologists in a thousand years or so. I may even construct a tomb to be buried in rather than that passe' coffin idea.

That's similar to what I was thinking when I said:

I've always liked the idea of being FOUND with a rifle a few thousand years hence.

I'm thinking of the impression it'll make on those distant Eloi who find me.
It would "make a statement", as the libs like to say.

I'm not talking about wasting a $1000 AR. A $100 Mil Surp will do just fine.
 
not here , Can not see how it would help. Someone else would get to enjoy them when I am gone.
 
I have my firearms for my self-defense. I will not longer need them when I am gone. However, I think they will make fine items to leave to others.
 
It would mean much more to pass it on to my sons or even daughter. It would probably help the cause more!

I know I wouldn't be as much into guns if it werent for my grandfathers old Beretta .22.
 
If I could I'd want my stainless Gold Cup (high polished) to be with me. Looks great with a Black suit.
