Heres the lowdown. My grandpa and grandma split up for a bit recently now they are trying to get back together. My family has basically disowned him, I however get along great with him. I haven't talked to him in almost a year due to the recent events. He told me to ask him for whatever I want in his will before all this SHTF. All I want are his guns / military stuff. (he was in the RCAF and later became a commercial pilot) I want to call him up and bullshit with him because I haven't talked to him in a while. I also want to mention this stuff too at some point in the future. What's the best way to go about doing this without sounding like a greedy asshole? The collection isn't huge but heres what I know is in it: Sig 9mm p226? S&W snub nose with XL wood grip (he told me its a rare model) Ruger mk II Really old bolt action rifle. (My dad thinks its a .22) but I remember him vaporizing ducks with it when i was little. Who knows what else. |

My father put me in charge of the disposal of his guns when he passes. He did it because I have an large interest in all things gun. While my siblings enjoy them I am the tech guy for them. <shrug>
Let him know after a few conversations. If he likes you, you may get lucky. |

GET OFF MY LAWN YOU GREEDY ASSHOLE....I wouldn't leave you the sweat off my left one... CHEF |

Quoted:
us old farts like it when you whipper snappers take us shooting. We also like to watch you make asswipes out of yourselves trying to get our guns. There is no early inheritance program!  
So you haven't talked to him in a year or so, but the thought of "DIBS" runs through your head? Lets say he passes away.... and you still haven't talked to him? Good job.
