Gun Inheritance Issue

Well, bless your little heart

What's worse is I bet in a divorce she would want her fair share.

B) Accept the gift/sell them (legally!). I'm morally/ethically opposed to putting more guns into circulation in today's climate. I know of two people who lost their lives due to improper storage/handling of firearms. Once these are sold we'd have no control of what the new owner does with them. No judgement on anyone else; I'm personally not ok with the idea that these could be used in the commission of a crime or harm/kill someone else. Legally we'd be off the hook but I'm still not OK with it ethically.

I know 50+ people who have died from alcohol/autos. Does not stop me from having more than 10 beers in fridge or cars in garage. If/When I sell them, I have no ethical issues as I know if they are fungible.

Now see? THATS a simple concept even I can grasp ahold of.

I vote “E”

Well let's see. You are telling your husband he can't have a free, large, and valuable collection of firearms? Sounds totally unreasonable. You need to make another compromise. Raise the ceiling limit and let him pick the ones he wants to keep, and sell the rest or pass them to the kids now if they are old enough.

Hello all! Wife of a gun enthusiast here (please be nice!). I was hoping to get an outside perspective and maybe hear if anyone else has come across something similar. My wonderful husband and I have reached an impasse about what to do with a large number of high dollar/antique collectables he will be inheriting in the future.

When we first got married he had one/two firearms. Personally I'm not in favor of it- skeet shooting or hunting is fine but if it was just me I wouldn't have any. Over time his collection grew, along with his interest in hunting/shooting etc. This made me very uncomfortable because I'm not really ok with storing a large collection where we live. Several years ago we reached a compromise and agreed that we would only have 10 firearms in our home at any given time. I have kept up my part of this arrangement and been supportive of hunting trips/purchasing new guns/going to gun shows occasionally.

Now here's the catch. My husband has a family member with a large gun collection, which he plans to leave to my husband in his will. The way I see it we have 4 options:

A) decline the gift- which would insult this relative and my husband would miss out on these items that he genuinely appreciates.

B) Accept the gift/sell them (legally!). I'm morally/ethically opposed to putting more guns into circulation in today's climate. I know of two people who lost their lives due to improper storage/handling of firearms. Once these are sold we'd have no control of what the new owner does with them. No judgement on anyone else; I'm personally not ok with the idea that these could be used in the commission of a crime or harm/kill someone else. Legally we'd be off the hook but I'm still not OK with it ethically.

C) Accept the gift and store them off-site (indefinitely). Using a gun storage facility is cost-prohibitive and one day our kids would have to decide what to do with them.

D) Sell/donate them to a museum. He's fine with the "sell" part, but I'm not sure this is even viable.

So...are there any other 2A fans out there married to lefties? How do y'all compromise around this issue? What, if any, options do we have when it comes to this influx of firearms? (Please don't tell me we can keep them at your house! LOL)
Thanks!

Ok we have have had our fun and played along, who posted this? Do we have a Saturday night drinking thread I should check for clues?

 

[candcallen]

Does your husband limit your purses or shoes? All inanimate objects and all can be used to kill people. Purses guns and shoes have all been used as murder weapons. Hoplophobia is what you have.



Neither me nor the wife tell the other what to do. We would both tell the other phuck off and leave.

It's like a cheating spouse, they should have had the balls to leave first and if you cant handle it leave now. Bitterness is a cancer. Trying to control someone is also a cancer, Democrats have yet to learn that and its tearing apart the country. Doing the same to your husband will ruin your marriage.

Too bad you have kids.

Not getting into this chit, but posting so I can keep up with the drama!

Eh, I showed this thread to my wife. Mind you, she’s from Virginia and she’s a Veteran, so it should be no surprise she agrees; you should cut your losses and leave in an amicable divorce. She also thinks you should get nothing in the divorce, other than what you brought into the marriage and what you’ve earned in your own in the marriage.

Another option, ask your husband to take you out shooting sometime to better understand his interest. You just might find you like it

Having a large collection doesn't cause danger to increase. It's not like storing nuclear waste.

The only thing here that's a worse joke than this thread is the marriage in the story.

I cannot relate at all. My wife and I both have inherited many, bought many on our own and are life long hunters and shooters in general.

Buy him a safe(s) for Valentine's Day.
