The title is a little grim, I know, but...
Last week a very dear friend of mine passed away suddenly. No warning, he just stopped showing up for work. Police were called and they found him dead of natural causes in his apartment.
Now... here's what leads me to this post. I knew that Rich had a couple of hanguns - a Colt .45 of some vintage or other and a wheelgun (I don't remember the caliber). I mentioned them to the friend who was to have been Rich's executrix (had he gotten around to actually SIGNING his will) so that whoever cleaned out Rich's apt wouldn't have a rude surprise, and she tells me that A) they're in the tender care of the PD out there (his brother turned them over to them) and B) she's going to give them to me when she get her hands on them.
And as Rich did NOT have a will, so if they're not on that never-to-be-sufficiently-damned LIST, I will NOT be allowed to have them, all in the guise of PROTECTING ME from "defective products"!
You have NO idea how enraged I am at this right now... Rich was closer to me than my own brother and sister, and the thought of inheriting his arms has me in tears... and the thought that our stupid laws will keep me from doing so has me steaming and grinding my teeth.
So, folks... if you don't have a will, please... make one. Or else Gov. Patrick (if you're in MA) will oversee where your estate goes.
Hopefully in a few months I will have a couple of entries for the "new acquisitions" thread. Somehow.
