My dad wasn't into handguns in later life and didn't own any when he passed several years ago, but we didn't keep any of his rifles and shotguns. I'm the only other gun guy in the family, and he had nothing I really needed. A doctor friend of his had expressed interest in buying the whole batch to equip his budding teenage-hunter sons, and we all agreed that Dad would be happiest if those guns continued to be used. Since he always took good care of them, they should serve well for a good time longer. That's the best legacy.
