Thing is, he was probably long gone to Alzheimer’s before he left that note he “always meant to get around to.” |

Inert grenades have a hole in the bottom and are empty so what was so hard to figure out here.

Like assuming a gun is unloaded ? If you don't know how to handle a gun or a grenade don't pick them up or do it alone. After the spoon comes off no going back. |

Who pulls a pin, lets the spoon fly and keeps it close? Based on the article, everyone involved was old enough to know better.

Having a bring back grenade is cool and all, but for fucks sake don't leave the shit for your family to deal with.
There are hundreds of inert grenades floating around, who would think gramps had a live one in the attic? |

Reminds me of the WW2 vet that was using a satchel charge for a door stop, luckily his kids knew he was nuts and had it checked out.

Don't mean to sound heartless, but you know they just swooped in and confiscated a bunch of goodies that dear old grandpa had from ww2,and it will all be destroyed.
