We stop in at a small gun shop now & then. Behind the counter on a rack is a beautiful 870 Wingmaster. Charlie asks to see it and wants to buy it. The man behind the counter said, "Sorry - this is part of an estate and the family is in dispute over whether or not to sell it." It was his father-in-law's and he said it was his mother-in-law who didn't know whether to sell it or not. OK

About a year later, we stop in at the shop again. This time the man is busy with other customers and a woman is near the shotguns. There is the Wingmaster, this time with a price tag of $525, slashed down to $425. Charlie said to her, "I'll take it." She looked at the tag and said, "Sorry. This is not for sale. It's in an estate dispute." Then she walked it into the back.

Yeah - the owner had originally mentioned it was his father-in-law's, and the woman must have been his wife. It was a family dispute, alright. I guess we have to catch it when the wife is not around.
