What is (what do you plan on) happening to your guns when after you die?
From reddit (roughly):
>When my neighbors husband died, she had no idea what to do with his gun collection he had amassed over the years. She took all of his guns and ammunition and dropped them off at the local police station.
Is it something that ever crosses your mind?
My son is right handed but left eyed so he can have my weirdo left handed .308 bolty boi. The .22 is already "his."
Huh? They will be inherited by my children. What kind of dumbass question is that.
>They will be inherited by my children
I was mostly aiming this question at those without kids, but that's good.
>those without kids
Well that's a whole different thing. If you have any family that would appreciate them (brothers/sisters or nieces/nephews) I would write them in first. If you have any buddies, they would probably next. If you have anything of particular interest or historical significance you would want to will them to a reputable firearms museum/collection. Apart from that, they'll most likely get auctioned off in an estate sale
Donate to gun club idk. At least handed over to someone appreciates it.
You need to make sure there's at least a pistol in the casket in case you get called up post-mortem
>2000 years later
>archaeologists discover anon's grave
>conclude that ritual burial with weapons was still practiced in the americo era
Not gonna catch me lackin, not now and certainly not in the afterlife.
>Mzzzzkhf, do you see this?
>What is that, Klhn'Qwf?
>It appears this creature's weapon was adorned with an image of a female of their species
>Interesting. Though primitive in composition, perhaps it was a loved one or a leader of their civilization.
>Indeed, as we have observed in all other extinct species, weapons were treated with much respect and reverence, the figure presented must be of great import.
this, but with the constanza 1911

I'm thinking about selling. I've spent 25 years collecting hundreds of firearms, and I regularly shoot maybe 3 of them.
No gun purchase makes me any happier, so it may be time to liquidate. Would certainly make it easier on my heirs.
It'snormal to grow ouott of hobbies. My dad was into woodworking and then got into collecting high end tools, had around $35-40k worth or shit he barely used including a top end japanese water stone system etc etc
Now he's into stained and he sold all that stuff for about $20k, got a glass kiln, saw, and some alchemical shit to do colors and so on. He has guns too, but only what he needs around the property, it was never a big interest for him.
so sell your shit, pass it on to someone who cares as much as you used to instead of your sister's moronic kid selling them for meth money after you die
No shame in that, we all go through phases of interest. For example I used to be super into video games, owning multiple consoles and devoting unbroken weeks at a time literally just waking up, gaming all day, then going to sleep. Now all I have is a gamecube and that's only really used around this time of year to entertain the family with smash bros and mario kart. We all grow and our lives change, I'm sure there will come a day when I'll lose my interest in guns too and shrink down to a fraction of what I own, but that time hasn't come yet
Maybe check with the heirs to see if there's anything in particular from the collection they want. Beyond that, sell what you no longer need. That said, I'd wait for the next round of panic buying to sell.
My grandfather's plan once he knew his health was going downhill was to document his collection with pictures and descriptions of each gun, draw up a bill of sale for each gun including this documentation, have the BOS's notarized by his buddy as a witness and then call me over to "sign some shit and then shut up about it." I have to admit that it was funny as frick after he passed when the locksmith opened his safe and there was nothing inside except a pic of grandpa with both fingers up.
I once saw a picture of one of those UK knife collecting bins where you can get rid of "dangerous knives" and they get destroyed. It was getting emptied and they showed the contents and amon dozens of $4.99 kitchen knives there was one handmade Chris Reeve Jereboam. It was absolutely heartbreaking that it was going to be destroyed. I can only assume it was one such case where the knife was dropped off by somebody who was absolutely clueless about its worth.
>I can only assume it was one such case where the knife was dropped off by somebody who was absolutely clueless about its worth.
That reminds of the Original Uzi that got turned in Brandon Herreras gun buyback video to the police. And they don't even do an ounce of research before parting with it. Literally burning money.
I mean that's easily thousands of dollars they are just throwing away, so I don't know why anyone would do that.
I'm getting with them in the family mausoleum
This is a good option too. Don't let any losers try to tell you you can't be buried with your guns. Every trve /k/ommando should be buried with at least 1
Earth can blow up one minute after I'm dead for all I care
Melt my guns into a casket, my next of kin can build up an arsenal just like I did
Turboboomer mentality
I plan on selling my collection to partially fund my retirement. My will will dictate what happens to the pieces I have left when I kick the can. A couple are special enough to donate to museums. The rest will go to auction and the proceeds will go charity benefitting hunting conservation & wildlife organizations.
All of MY DUCKS will be lineated.
manlets love to collect guns
Demoralization/slide thread.
We predicted shills would be fricking feral today
>Demoralization/slide thread.
?
>reddit
Can we just make this a banword already hiroshimoot
>Waaaaahhhhhh
>Censor it censor it censor it nowwwwww!!!!!
>Waaaaahhhhhh
Lol imagine getting worked up over pixels displaying a thread that eventually drops off fairly quickly and away from public view without having to dig through an archive.
It’s not the one thread, it’s all the moronic threads the tourists make. Do you want /k/ to remain a wartourist, redditor infested shithole?
I'll be buried like this but with a gun
>one day, perhaps a wanderer will open my tomb and use my gun to become a king by his own hand
>post-apocalyptic villager breaks into your tomb
>descends on a rope of corded ethernet cabling
>tentatively takes the rifle from your hands
>your skeleton shifts
>the villager shrinks back in terror of the ancient revenant
>your sekelton simply slumps
>he pries the rifle from your skeletal hands
>looks upon the ancient markings inscribed upon this mighty weapon from the golden past
>"PSA? Eugh."
>he tosses the gun back at your corpse in disgust and leaves
>even in the post-apocalypse, they know trash when they see it
The "Secret of Aluminum" doesn't sound as rad as "The Secret of Steel", yeah
Assuming I live long I'm planning on burying my registered guns (I live in Canada) and giving the coordinates to close friends and family. What they do with it is up to them. Maybe I should tell me friends to just loot my house if I croak.
>When my neighbors husband died, she had no idea what to do with his gun collection he had amassed over the years. She took all of his guns and ammunition and dropped them off at the local police station.
One of my friend's relatives did this with an illegal Maxim machine gun. Why must women be like this
They’ll be taken as evidence and destroyed by the state.
I'm married and we plan to have a bunch of kids who'll be introduced to shooting from a young age so hopefully they'll just be passed down.
If I die before that happens, my wife knows which guns are the practical ones, which are the valuable ones and which are fun but not particularly valuable.
My will passes most of the latter category over to a few of my mates and my sister in law if I die without kids, if we both die then a bunch more of my guns go to them and a few go to my parents in law (they're both hard antigun so I figure that's a good enough joke to play from beyond the grave, nothing valuable though)
they go to my kids, simple as that.
I don't care. The world stops existing when I'm gone
