Is Someone You Know Getting Too Old to Own a Gun?

As our family members age, there are many occasions to look forward to. Often advancing years come with a sense of freedom and a more open schedule to enjoy life.

For those who are more mature that could mean spending even more time with the grand-kids, going to the park, eating ice cream, and as they get older, even heading to the shooting range. The golden years can be the perfect time to make lasting memories with our loved ones, laughing, gathering around the table, and talking well into the night. But what if those conversations have to take a more serious turn?
When the conversation turns to downsizing, things can start to become difficult. Nobody likes to talk about death, there are estate plans that every family needs to consider and if ignored, can create no end of problems post-mortem. If a loved one owns a firearm and it hasn’t been planned for, it could turn into a legal nightmare for the family once they’ve passed away.
It can be hard for family members to broach these tough conversations. In many situations, the conversation is avoided altogether. In fact, people often sneak guns from their parent’s home if they have Alzheimer’s, or secretly disable a firearm for an ageing relative.
The best course of action is to talk to your ageing family member or friend and explain to them that disposing/disabling of their unwanted firearms with Parkinson Enterprises guns is the right decision.
