Possibly worse than Audiophiles

My brother in law is the range officer at a local gun club.

One of the members had passed away a few weeks ago. His former spouse had contacted him and another officer there about clearing out the guns from the home they had shared when they were married.

When they opened the front door and attempted to go into the house it was filled completely with new, in the box, guns of all kinds.
After trying to tour the house that he said was difficult at best because there was no place to walk.
Their estimate was that there were 100,000 new guns in the house. Clearly no spousal approval there.
She told them she wanted nothing to do with the sale and they could keep all of the proceeds and give some to the range if he wanted.

100,000 new guns in the house….. did the guy wanted to arm an army?

 

[crwilli]

Wow, just wow!

He must have dies from anxiety.

I knew hoarders existed. 100,000 is hard to believe. If he was collecting for 60 years that would be about 139 guns a month for each of the 60 years. I bet most stores don't have that.

This boggles the mind. What was this guy planning? His purchasing of all of those guns didn't set off any red flags with ANY authorities?

Brad, I am not disparaging you or your brother-in-law in any way. But if this is a light-hearted gullibility test, I fall on the side of being a little leery with the absence of any evidence. Then again, what civil authorities would want to alert the public about this?

We had a family dinner yesterday. I asked my brother in law about how it was going and after a few weeks they still are no where even getting to is gun safe.

I would be tempted to find a gun dealer (or two or three) and sell them the lot. You won’t maximize the revenue but it would greatly reduce the hassle.

That also minimizes any legal risk. Or bring in an auction house to auction them off as lots.

I wonder what his goal or motivation was. I mean to have that many guns he'd have to have several of the same model.

My dad hunted so his thing was shotguns mostly.

So with an average price of $400 each (which is low) we're talking forty million dollars...
