Application / Regulation advice Handgun ownership of deceased

Hello all,

I have a family member who recently passed away who owns some handguns I was wondering if there is anyway to have the passed down to me? The guns themselves are older cowboy style guns and I recently have been interested in Cowboy Action Shooting but obviously cant buy a revolver for the sport and this would be a great opportunity to not only get one but also keep the collectible in the family.

With the laws in place is this even possible anymore?

Thanks in advance

You discovered it was hidden in the corner of the attic. Grandpa musta put it there years ago for safe keeping.

Ya. But tens of thousands of people will find it hidden in the corner of the attic.

Like I said, sure you can’t prove it, but it sure makes gun owners look bad.

Worse optics than trying to confiscate them from the most law abiding segment of your society, you think?

In my eyes, no.

In the liberals eyes, yes, absolutely fuel for another gun ban. They will make out all those people as criminals. Can’t prove they knew where the handgun was, but when thousands come out of the woodwork on the same week.. the writing is on the wall… and it will be used against us to paint us aw criminals.

Use your head. Just because you feel like you’re in the right, other people won’t, you still have to play politics.

My head? How well has "taking the high road" worked out for us? I'm not interested in "what will the liberals think" anymore. Stop trying to appease them. They want to take ALL of your guns. YOU use YOUR head.

lol. With that attitude they are going to get them.

You can’t claim to be the most law abiding group in the country while simultaneously advising people to break the law.

Good luck bud.

With properly designed laws THAT MAKE SENSE. Liberals don't make sense.

Liberals make up a majority of voters.

None of it makes sense. But it also doesn’t matter what makes sense.

What matters is keeping the majority on your side.
