What are you going to do with your collection when you pass on, do you have any plans for it, so what do you think?
I see so many JAP rifles and M1 garands being turned in at my local gun shop by the kids who fathers brought them home from the war. My stomach turns when i see this happening. If my dad had a war trophy i would cherish it.
The reason why i ask is i was in a pawn shop and the owner was kind of being a jerk and saying when people who own guns pass on the relatives can't wait to bring them to me for cash. It kind of raised my attention on this subject and i felt like i should spread the word about putting it in your will who your going to leave them to. I think its time to plan ahead now. I want all my stuff to remain in my family so my oldest son who is into guns will get what i have when i pass on and i hope it will be passed on down to each future generation in my family too. I will be honored to see my great great grandchildren to enjoy and shoot my surplups. And who knows what will be around by then too. I'm planning for them right now too.
About 10 years ago my older brother who was my hunting and fishing mentor for many years ever since i was a kid passed away. All his guns were still in the gun bags still from the last hunting season we spent together. With no sons to give them too my sister in law asked me to take them. My older brother and my son were buddies he loved my son like he was his own. I gave all my brothers hunting rifles to my son. We felt sad but happy at the sametime. Its a tough thing to deal with. You know I was surprised there was no rust on the guns after 10 years of being in the bags?
