    Well, hey, stuff costs money! Besides, nobody pays attention to warnings anyway.

    ?warning shot? - - - what's that?

    Grandpappy used to say don't ever draw down on someone if you're not willing to pull the trigger, otherwise they might just take that gun away from you and make a suppository out of it.

    Beautiful and built like a Tank (I love Ruger's)-one of my other Hobbies is collecting Guns (specifically old Smith's)-don't have a picture of it, but I recently found a 29-2 (P&R) .44 Mag with all the Papers, Tools and Box, and a 27-3 (P&R) .357 in Nickel that has never been fired (with the exception, of couse, being at the Factory)-

    I like old Rugers, Smith's and Colt's, and I do it partially for value-I hope that our Guns will keep their value into the future (but I doubt I'll ever sell 'em)-my Father-In-Law has an unbelievable collection, and he is getting ready to hand it down mostly to me-I have no idea what I am going to do with about 125-150 Guns (build a wing onto the House?), but I know that there are a bunch that I will need to hand down to my kids-

    WOW, 35WINDOW, that is a large collection. You had better hope they dont do the liability insurance requirement for each gun that some groups are pushing....it is inteneded to make ownership too expensive...and it would.

    Yeah, I know, and on the one hand I want to respect his wishes, and on the other this has to be sustainable and practical-luckily he knows this, for his greatest fear is that no one in the Family will want his life's collection-

    He makes me look like a rookie when it comes to rare Guns though-

    Maybe the inheritance is part of the kid's education fund??? There are storage wraps, etc available so you could put the collecton in totes and secure them....in a reasonable temperature/humidity environment. If they are rare and of special interest, you might cut a deal with a museum to store/display them (insured by the museum, of course) with you retaining ownership. A lawyer could easily draw up a document with the inventory listing.
