Firearm after your passing.

[maurice05]

So what plans do uou have set in place? At your passing, where do your firearms go or how do you have them set up to be transferred assuming to someone else once you've passed on. I'm looking for option in California

Give them away before you kick the bucket, otherwise, who cares, yer dead.

Gun Trust

[Garbcollector]

If there's no gun people in your family. I'd start dumping them slowly when it's time

[acaligunner]

I’ll put them in a piñata 😃.

Let freedom ring on whoever gets them !

[Tarmy]

The boys get them via a trust that specifies certain actions…

[Eat Dirt]

Starting to think about this problem myself..
Getting up in decades now !
Have a Full....gun safe and NO family members worth passing them down to ..
For gun appreciation , I'm the last of the line.

SO, At this point I think I'll sell one at a time..
Thin The Herd , as they say
Just listed a '61 Ruger single six ,
After that I'll grab another one ...

My only child son, who does shoot (when I take him) Told me the only guns he wants from me are the Thompson contender ( w 3 barrels) , my Colt Delta Elite 10mm and recently added my NPM M1 carbine ( only because his girlfriend likes shooting it). He already has a Chinese SKS. But guess he’s getting everything cause I’m not selling what I have left.

Whoever calls dibs first, seriously they’ll be divided between my son and my daughter and two grandsons.

Exactly............. if no one wants them in your circle then best to get thin out the herd while you're around. It's your house (I presume), car, and financial accounts folks are more concerned about.

Firearms unfortunately are a massive complication for anyone that doesn't want to deal with them.

I was thinking about this, and was sort of considering I guess age 70 is where I should probably think seriously about parsing my collection down do things I immediately enjoy, and maybe anything I own that I've not shot from now until then (20 years) it might be best it goes to someone else's hands.

***********
I'm gonna take heat for this. I TURNED IN an unwanted crap 22 rifle (totally unsafe to use, a live round cannot be unloaded once cocked). There was no forthcoming $$$ for guns drives and I just got tired of waiting and wanted the room in the safe for something else (which I did).

I also turned in a bunch of OLD paper/carboard shot gun shells and super old ammo a different day and got the SAME drawn out conversation regarding the associated police report to take said crap ammo (come on guys............ are you REALLY going to shoot that PAPER wrapped shot shells or majorly oxidized bullets from the 1980s)?

Anyway........... it was a 1950ish junk 22 rifle, and turned into a drawn out conversation with the officer I was trying to surrender it to. I would have been better off de-milling it myself by cutting the action in half then throwing it away in the recycle bin (one half at a time).

COULD YOU IMAIGNE!!!!!!!! having heirs that say don't want your ENTIRE COLLECTION, and try and hand off 10,20,50+ firearms at once? What a pain.

Auction... easy peasy

[acaligunner]

Whatever you do don’t sell them at a gun store.
Oh Colt gold cup ahh $80 bucks those are no good anymore ~ have to sell out of state. $70 bucks.

[BrokerB]

Few being distributed to friends who have good taste... few to family.... rest sold for pennies on the dollar. Similar to how how I bought them. I only have a small portion of brand new guns that I bought myself... CCW stuff and home built ARs.. Rest were from some old dead man who's wife/kids sold them at fire sale prices : )
