I guess I'm going to step off the porch a little bit. I hope and pray, no - make that demand, that when I reach the point that my carry or driving poses a threat to myself or others that my kids step in and take appropriate action.
You may claim that your FIL has not reached that point but your actions (not allowing him to carry in your home) say differently.
You claim that your home is the only place you can control. As a family member there is much more your wife can do and IMHO has an obligation to do.
To claim that that he is mentally stable enough to carry in public and then to prevent him from carrying in your home is at the least hypocritical if not negligent.
Again this is MHO.

Re: So I'm in the waiting room at Parkland hospital
I'm a little confused. It's not ok for him to be armed around your kids but it's ok for him to be armed around mine?surferdaddy wrote:I think you have somehow misinterpreted what I was trying to say; I DONT want any intervention, UNLESS I feel it is necessary, which at this time, I do not. It is my hope that this need never arises, however, I don't want to be neglectful and in denial if he could at some future point be helped.
At this time, I simply don't want another firearm related "senior moment" to occur; however, the man is independent and what I deem ALMOST completely competent. He can at this point make his own judgement calls about firearms, driving, etc.. I simply believe that given his somewhat lackadaisical firearm handling skills and this recent event, he really shouldn't be carrying inside our home and I will be glad to secure his firearm in my safe whenever he is here, approx every week.
I honestly am having trouble keeping my wife and BIL from going bloomberg on him. There is no way my wife will ever allow him to carry in our home again.
