A new tool can help gun owners and family members plan ahead for safe firearm use and transfers in the event of disability or death.
Kerri Raissian didn’t know what to do about her father’s guns when he died of COVID-19 in December at age 86 and left her executor of his estate.
Think of it as advance care planning for guns — a way for someone to describe what they want to have happen to their firearms should they die, or become physically or cognitively unable to use them responsibly. The Firearm Life Plan kit stresses personal responsibility, safety and the importance of being prepared, themes that older owners and family members emphasized in focus groups conducted by researchers.
“Do you think it’s time to have someone give you an honest assessment about how you’re handling your firearms these days?” “In my opinion, it’s much harder to get someone to relinquish their firearms than their car keys,” he added, “because of this strong feeling that I need to protect myself and my loved ones.”
