My boys will handle it as they please, I'll be dead so my opinion won't be heard.

Guns go to my wife. If my wife dies with me, my kids (boy and girl) will know what to do with my firearms because I am instilling the value and virtues of firearms. End of story.

Any thing with a serial number has been put into our trust.

This is something I need to address.Oldest son expects them all.This is unrealistic and unfair.

Oldest daughter is not responsible and they would be wasted.Sadly this excludes my 3 little granddaughters.(Unless I still am around when they are adults,Very possible)

Younger son will get a nice sampling,good handgun,.22 rifle and handgun,shotgun and at least 1 rifle.If he has any children,will probably leave at least a .22.(Married no kids yet)

Youngest daughter has little interest.She is a very responsible young lady.Need to talk to her about this.

This thread has given me a lot to think about.

Something else I just thought of,need to consider legality of some of the transfers.Oldest is in New Jersey,rest in California.

Is there anyone else you can leave with that can transfer to grand kids later on, maybe your youngest daughter could be the intermediary and she would need to DROS when passing to her niece/nephews
That's what my dad did, gave to me to give to my sisters daughter when she is old enough, I just can't transfer directly, have to DROS it since no longer in the grandparent/parent/child line
Legalities, across state lines has to go through ffl

That's somewhat how I am with my kids, stuff that was passed to me from their grandparents, they already know who those things go to as well as my guns

[mdib870]

my guns will go to the family member that appreciates firearms the most, who I know will not tell them

[small hole shooter]

Forget the guns, it will be all about the Ammo!

[joefrank64k]

All my guns, and the many guns I've inherited, are just tools in my eyes. Useful and interesting, but just tools. I don't assign any more value to one over another because my dad or grandmother owned it. Life's too short for that nonsense.

I've got a DB listing all of them and their accessories, along with current values. If I go first, then Mrs jf64k will know what to do. If we both go, then our trust specifies who's in charge and how money from the sale of our estate, including the guns, should be divided.

Besides, at that point, I won't be around to care. So why worry?

The boy gets a glock and the M4. Those are what he used in the sandbox and what he likes. He has no interest in old Colt acps & Pythons, Garands and the other used to be available and now aren't guns I have and love.

So the wife who has been taught what they are and how to determine price them and will sell them off to new caretakers and run off to Aruba with the pool boy on the cash they bring.

Question about the guns once you pass. Since my guns were under my name when I bought them, how would it transfer when I pass? Would the beneficiary need to put them under their name?

AFAIK Inherited firearms are exempt from that requirement, even handguns.

My biggest fear is that Wifezilla will sell my guns for what I told her that I paid for them.

Oldest son's safe is only half full (bigass safe). He can use the filler. Youngest has no interest. He gets all of the tools.
