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

Hopefully, I will train a son up to be ready to excercise the 2A (according to its ORIGINAL intent), and will provide him with all of my weapons to do so.

The more weapons in the hand of the people, the better.
 
I'd rather be buried like Sarah Conner... cremated, and my coffin filled with goodies (but I'd pack them in cosmoline) in case my children, or grandchildren, were ever faced with a society in which they might need them.
 
My guns will likely outlive me by far. I'd rather my friends, relatives and their children have them.

A friend passed away recently. He was an old-time member of the gun culture, and we wanted to do something different. Local PD said, "no way" to a 21-gun salute, and the funeral home said no to burying him with a gun, so we settled for putting a round of .30-06 in his hands before closing the casket.

Figured he'd get a kick out of it :)
 
When I am buried I've already made it understood that I'm to go out in full battle rattle. BDUs, body armor, helmet, rifle, pistol, full mags, PVS14s, the works. I want to be the archialogical find in the year 5,000.

I remember looking at National Geographic when I was a kid and seeing tombs of Vikings, Mongols, Romans, ect. and was fasinated by the items buried with them.

I won't have them chamber a round in the weapons(springs may fail after a thousand years). I will leave enough weapons to go around that an AR and a .45 will not be missed. Plus I have a half million dollar life insurance policy to ensure any weapon can be easily replaced.
 
Why would I waste a perfectly good firearm on my ugly corpse? Where ever I'm headed, I won't be needing it.
 
I think my firearms would be better off left with my children or relatives. Even if not relatives, i would rather my guns be given to some poor joe to have fun with/protect himself or his family with. At least they would be of some use to someone. Wont do any good when im dead.
 
sword

Not a gun - but I likely would like to be buried with a sword. I have over a dozen katana, but I have a nice Viking sword - an Albion Clontarf - that would seem to fit the bill nicely.

Now, if I could just be set to sea in a flaming boat. . . . .:evil:


Sjá, þar sé ek föður minn.
Sjá, þar sé ek móður mina ok systur mina ok bróður minn.
Sjá, þar sé ek allan minn frændgarð.
Sjá, kalla þeim tíl min.
Biðja mér at taka minn stað hjá þeim í sölum Valhallar, þar drengiligr menn munu lifa allan aldr.

Lo there do I see my father
Lo there do I see my mother and my sister and my brother
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning
Lo they call to me
They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever
 
Hm. If I'm buried with a gun, I'll specify that it should be loaded with certain ammunition, kept in a very well-marked, sealed box in my house. Grave robbers beware the curse of Ryan M.
 
"Now, if I could just be set to sea in a flaming boat. . . . ."

im not sure of the legality but thats my wishes as well. I know my people are loyal enough and then some, but wouldnt want to get anyone in trouble with the law or anything over it.
 
Fill my coffin up with all kinds of weaponry like in Terminator 4. Spread my ashes off the coast of Mexico.
 
Maybe a pellet gun :)

A *real* gun, I'd rather pass on to the (yet hypothetical) kids, or to my brother, or to a friend ... perhaps provide in my will for some clever engraving on it at that point.

p.s. And I don't want to be buried, or cremated. I want my bones to be metal plated, sealed against corrosion, jointed together, and passed down with the guns :) And Yes, I'm serious. Just can't yet afford it.
 
I've made plans to be cremated, but that doesn't preclude me from being buried with a weapon. Still, I don't think I would ask to be buried with a gun, unless my friends would like to use my ashes to stash one, which is possible. I'll suggest it, in fact: Graveyards always seem to be a tremendous waste of space. Peaceful place to go and read, though, if you're not creeped out by that. Sometimes I go up to the family plot and do just that. Quality time with the family... anyway, I digress. It'd be nice to have the hole in the ground I'm filling to actually be of some use.

I have asked, though, to be buried with a certain knife. A machinist friend of mine made it custom for me. I've never seen anything exactly like it. I think he made it out of steel from a truck's leaf springs. It's a short dagger with a tapering triangular blade, rough-finished. He punched holes in the hilt to thread cord through for a skeleton handle. It looks like, and is, basically an artfully made prison shank, with the blade just a tad off kilter. It's the most beautiful knife I own. So evil-looking.

If I have kids, I'll pass it down as an "heirloom"; a memento of little Foxtrot Jr.'s crazy pop who actually grew up when folks owned guns and knives and lived free.

Since I don't plan to procreate, they can toss it in the ground with me, unless my machinist friends wants it back.
 
Why waste a perfectly good gun on a dead guy? I will pass them on. So should we all. I think there may come a time when they're hard to get. Our posterity will need them.
 
Not quite sure where I'm goin' or what I may find when I get there so yes, I would like a bit of protection goin' with me.

If I go to a place where there is bad zombies, I may be able to fend them off a while with a gun. It doesn't have to be a good one, just functional. I would want my CCW licence with me in case a cop:evil: asks me for it.

OTOH if I go where there are only good guys, it would be fun teaching some of those "liberals" :eek: how to shoot. Heck, (notice I didn't say he**) I may just get some good matches goin' too.

Disclaimer: The above was written in pure jest (just covering my bases)
 
Please, no burial in the ground for me.

Perhaps my first choice is platform burial. We have a large maple in the back yard in which a platform could be placed, but I suppose the neighbors or city would object. I have heard that there is a way of composting ones remains, but I have no idea if it is readily available. That pretty much leaves cremation or burial at sea.

As to guns, my wife says she gets them all.
 
No, but I can think of a few I would like to see buried after using my firearms.

Just kidding!
 
My guns will be passed on to my pro 2A friends.
While some have stated the desire to have a weapon placed in in their final resting place with them, I'd rather have my friends remember me fondly for the thoughtful "parting shot".
