My goal in life is to enjoy calm and peace, shun dramatic antics. I've been helping a friend that I've known since 1st grade. Taking him to dialysis, picking him up etc. He's been living with with this old widow woman in a spare room. He's been telling me the old lady has been getting mean with him and some other stories about her old husband's friend being in cahoots wanting to swindle him out of his guns. He got to thinking they were waiting for him to die so they could keep them. I found today he was not joking, seems that was the plan. We went over there and got all his firearms and the old lady was tweaked! I need to go back and help gather a literal truck load of ammo and accessories. I don't know how that is going to go. We got (47) firearms, they are stacked like cord wood in my shop. They include a Semi-auto M1919, LAR .50 BMG, and a ton of other stuff, including some junk. Alas, his lifetime of collecting. I'm trying to re-arrange my safe to pack 6-8 of the more expensive in there now.
It was very tense over there. I sure do want him to get out and in a better safe place. The dialysis center has a lead on a assisted living facility for him but no guns. He has no family to speak of, no one else to help him. I hope to help clear stuff out tomorrow after church. Hope there is no altercation. I guess he might have to stay with me a day or two. It looks like may be buying Dave a gun safe.
