I have here a Smith and Wesson 908. It was bought by my wife's late husband in 1998. His ffl background check is in the case.
It was stolen from their house and the serial number reported to the police. It was recovered and returned some time later after the trial. The evidence tag is in the case.
It went back to Smith and Wesson for slide and sight repairs. Her husband passed away. This is where the story gets confusing.
I thought her son bought it and sold it out from under her when she was buying it back. But she says she owned it outright and her son wanted to sell it when he thought he was going to jail. He sold it, didn't need the money after all but wouldn't buy it back and kept the money.
I knew how much the gun meant to her. She said it was the only thing she had left of him because her son sold it all. Yesterday I asked the guy If he would sell it to me. It's my wife's Christmas present. She found out about it so I gave it to her early.
Her son found out about the sale and was here today. He told me not to let anything happen to it because he wants it and even said he put money into it and has some kind of money/inheritance claim on it. Her late husband wasn't his father. He doesn't care about it or what it meant or she would have it back. He never owned it. And he's telling me he's entitled to it.
He asked to see it and my wife told him it was locked in the safe. She said he ain't going to have anything to do with that gun.
But it's not about money. Well it is for those that profited from it. It's about respect, doing the right thing, momentos, closure, grief.
I present the most important gun I ever bought. It will stay the turd it is unless the wife wants to do anything with it. But it's her turd.
Well, if he had not already done so for you, the son has showed himself for what he is, which is someone not to be trusted, especially around any of your firearms, etc.
