[QUOTE="JRSherman, post: 1445413, member: 13432"] I wonder that too sometimes. My grandfather has a number of guns that will become mine when he passes, and I'm not sure where to draw the line. It wouldn't be so hard for me, but we're just becoming increasingly distanced of late. I suppose it's subconsciously because we both know we're getting closer to the end, but at the same time he's all but given up on getting out and doing things, and sits at home all day every day absorbing negative MSM news. I can't go home every weekend to take him out either, I just can't afford it and it's not fair to my wife. On top of it all, I already know that I'm going to be the executor of his estate, so it will blatantly become my problem. With all that, though, before my step-dad came into the picture, he was my dad. He taught me a lot of what I know today, and he taught me how to shoot, gun safety, how to hunt right and respectfully, and how to fish. There's a lot more that goes into family guns in the country than I think goes on otherwise. There's always a story behind a country gun. I remember most of them for each of the guns I've shot in the family, and it does make it a little harder to get rid of them before you have to. At the same time, there are a few guns that I'm just not that interested in, and they don't have a story with them either. One of them is definitely staying with me(Belgian made 12ga.), but the others will probably be sold and the money going to Grandma. It won't be a "wonder how much I can get out of them" case though, that stuff really ticks me off. Especially when it's less than a week after the family member is passed on. [/QUOTE]
