Might just sell off most of my guns. Don’t really have many left. Sold off many since I have become half crippled up and can’t hardly walk anymore, with out a cane. Have a couple of .22’s that I kept around for squirrel hunting, but I can’t maneuver around, in the woods, very well. I will keep one of the .22’s just for killing nuisance stuff around the place. I will keep my first shotgun, an 870 knock off sold by Montgomery ward. It is a 12 gauge and was a Christmas present from my parents when I was 12. I will keep a 94 Winchester, just to have some kind of, relatively, high powered rifle around.
Other than that I have a .22 Ruger and a .357 Ruger, that the I will keep. I guess it is always nice to have a couple of handguns around.
It’s a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) getting old, but life is what it is.

Nice to keep a few around just in case I agree. Mine are all in my will and I'll die owning them all. Family members and friends that I know that will appreciate them will inherit them

Good Idea to liquidate a lot of accumulated stuff when you get older.
Its not fair to leave loved ones with a burden to have to do all that when you kick the bucket.
I have started to get rid of stuff I no longer use,either sell,give away or take to dump.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

No kids ?I have been giving mine to my two sons and grandkids over the past few years.There will only be four or five left in my safe when I kick the bucket.I told the two boys when that happens,,draw cards.High card gets first pick of one,,then take turns till their gone after that.

I got rid of a bunch of stuff, including five guns, when we moved. There was pain involved.

I did give my son a Glock 9mm. He doesn’t hunt but wanted the hand gun. I gave my son-in-law an extra 10-22 I had and an old .303 Lee-Enfield that he thought was pretty cool.

Kids grandkids and one great grand daughter. When I tip over they will all get at least one. I like to think they wont sell them. Traps will go to my son.

besides mine being written into the will since my oldest was only a few months old
it specifies the GCP children are to divide them evenly amongst themselves at the time of my death and may not sell them , they may only give them to other family.
the lawyer told me that may not be enforceable but it does specify your will wishes
my goal is to give anything I want as I see fit to away to my kids , grandkids or relatives , kids I mentor , ect..as I see fit before I die of old age
If I die before old age the kids figure it out.
I think presenting someone with it while I am still alive but maybe unable on not needing to use it anymore and tell them the history and why I chose them for it , will be a lot more meaningful and won't result in just a possession but a prized possession.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
