[QUOTE="theosmithjr, post: 1582222, member: 102164"] The world is an oddly different place today than it was while I was growing up. I just turned 61 three days ago. My Father is alive and well at 80. I have cherished my Fathers weapons since I was 5 or 6; as far back as I can remember. My Father is by no means a Rich Man, and he has many expensive hobbies. Over the years the rifles, shotguns, pistols, cameras, telescopes, boats, motorcycles, computers ect., ect. Out of his 4 sons and 2 daughters, only I (the oldest) and my youngest brother hunt & shoot avidly. Me, I do it all; especially rifles. My brother is a Surgeon with a shotgun in his hands. When the subject of inheritance comes up, I've always told my Father that all I've ever wanted from him is to be here, and remain the example of a man to me as he always has. I've told him that should the Lord call him home first, that I would be eternally grateful to become the owner of his rifles and half of his handguns. The shotguns and other half of his handguns should go to my youngest brother, as these are what he treasures of my Fathers. My Father has this in his will, and has told his wife of 40 years (my Mother & Father are divorced) many a time in my presence, that his firearms are to be divided between my brother and I as I previously stated. Possession is 9/10ths of the LAW they say; so I've ALWAYS made direct EYE CONTACT with her as he spoke his mind. I truly believe she'll honor his wishes, but I pray its NEVER put to the test with me. That's how much I VALUE MY FATHERS FIREARMS! He raised me, taught me that it was my God given right to own and bare arms, that it was my heritage! I will NOT see his wishes gone against by NO ONE!
