I was going to say, not all PDs automatically destroy all the guns they have turned into them.
Sometimes they get auctioned to dealers or in some cases the public.

Hope this never happens to me....

As another "wildly sarcastic sick unit" I heartily approve of this message. Joe
An old friend of mine (a dr)was fighting a losing battle with chronic pain and depression a few years ago He finally took a walk down to the local park and offed himself. I’m betting that’s what she’s trying to prevent. Just a thought.

I showed this thread to Ruthie and she said what arjay says is quite plausible. She is very familiar with caring for those with advanced Parkinson's and says a severely shaking hand is no place for a gun.
Regardless of his wife's leanings she was an RN and knows this.

Not sure of the rules in this jurisdiction, but in NC in cases such as this there are proceedures set forth where the Sheriff may hold the guns until the possible "situation" with the neighbor has been resolved, and then the owner/heirs may recover the guns by filing a petition. The guns are not destroyed or disposed of without a finding by the court that there is a valid reason that requires it.

Reading posts like this make me feel how fortunate I am. I have acquired a number of guns in my career and now I am in a position to pass them on to my grand kids and their husbands,all of whom are gun friendly to say the least. I have already passed some on and I was just looking in my safe and making a few more decisions.
I’d like to know more before condemning someone. May be more going on that’s not known outside their inner circle.
That being the case, his loving wife may have condemned him to a slow, miserable death against his wishes.
I can confirm this, as I am the proud owner of a High Standard .22 target pistol that the widow of a former bullseye shooter wanted the police to destroy and they convinced her to sell them to a gun shop.

Had a hunting buddy that was several years older than I. After he was diagnosed with Parkinson's I watched as he slowly deteriorated. He'd been a gun guy all his life and we enjoyed many times in deer camp together.
Towards the end his wife related the doctors were working with different drug combinations to try to help him but he was beginning to have hallucinations, very real to him, but hallucinations none the less.
She awoke with a start one night hearing a gun shot next to her in the bed; seems he "saw" someone standing in the bathroom doorway just off his side of the bed, grabbed his .380 nightstand gun and fired a shot through the bathroom wall. All of his guns went away the next day to his son.
Her political proclivities and historic views aside, your neighbor's wife may have thought she didn't have much recourse. Still, I know my wife would not have mine turned in to LE, and would seek out someone who could keep/sell them immediately. Not facing that situation (as far as I know) but we have talked about such.

For mothers day I gave each one of my 3 children an envelope containing a number. in the event of anything happening to me they are the combination to the 2 gun digital gun safes. they will all have to be together to be able to open them... next they will have to find the Book with WHO gets What...

A while back had some neighbors who had a somewhat combative divorce.
He was at work when the Ex’s mover loaded her up her stuff to return to Texas.
They ‘accidentally’ packed up all his guns.

North Carolina sells firearms to Lawmens Distributors when upgrading, one of their stores being in Raleigh. I have purchased a 357 SIG P239, a 357 SIG P226 and a Beretta 1301 tactical shotgun that were turned in by the NCSHP. All are in great shape.
