I will try to make this story short and to the point.
My wife was married to a real *** guy before me. While they were married, he apparently could not pass a back ground check so he forced my wife into buying the guns for him. Yes forced, or else get beat down was her fear.
Well since her divorce he got remarried. He and his new wife recently got in a huge fight and she actually shot a warning shot into the wall to scare him away from her. The new wife called me later to see if I could come get the guns that are in my wifes name (not used in the shooting, that was her own pistol). Her reason being that she could not trust him having guns in her home and that she was afraid that if he committed a crime with these guns that my wife could be held responsible so it would be better if my wife had the guns that are actually legally hers. So I went and got the guns for my wife. A Browning rifle and a Browning Semi-auto shotgun. I locked them up in a gun safe and there they sit.
Now the *** and his wife are going through hearings and divorce and who knows what else. Now it has came up that he wants the guns back. I don't blame him at all but I need to know what to do. I feel like I dont want guns out there in a very irresponsible and violent persons hands that are in my wifes name. If he is a fellon (which is why supposedly he couldnt pass the back ground check but now it is in question if he actually is a fellon) he cant own guns right? So we are at a standstill here.
I will be clear. I dont want the guns, nor to have anything to do with the guns. They are from my wifes past that frankly makes me sick to even think about. I dont care if he has the guns, I just dont want them linked to my wife. So what do we do to get them out of my wifes name? If he gets someone else (like his Mom) to sign for them and say he is a fellon, then are we at risk knowingly selling the guns per say to someone for a fellon to use?
Thing is in my wifes divorce decree it states that he was awarded the guns. It was drawn up in the papers by her lawyer that the judge signed but it was never investigated rather he could actually posses the guns. It was just put in there because she didnt want them and considered them his anyways. No paper work was ever done putting them in his name.
What would you guys do???
