[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2984297, member: 27307"] [B][U]Thinning the herd:[/U][/B] Initially I thought that this was going to be a slight bit of humor regarding the selling off of some personal firearms. However... This can be and really is a serious enough matter to put some time and effort into making these decisions ahead of the time before it becomes necessary. I've handle 4 of these situations for the widows of friends who had hunted and shot a lot. They left behind significant numbers of firearms which their brides really had no interest in or specific knowledge of. And I have agreed with the wives in that they really didn't need to have significant knowledge of their husband's firearms. So I did the best I could to handle this for them, getting everything organized and sold without stressing out the wives. But it would have been much simpler if this had been addressed before their husbands passed. One of my last best friends who is a gunsmith and avid shooter/hunter joined me in the idea of managing and documenting our possessions. We have a current list by serial number and value based on current dollars. We took pictures and created a file for each item. We also update when necessary to stay current. Yes, it can take some work but the savings in stress for those left behind is huge. Take some time and consideration before it becomes necessary. Have a Joyous and Merry Christmas! :)🎄 [/QUOTE]
