Re: Friend with Alzheimer's

Thanks so much for the replies. I greatly appreciate all of the wise and honest answers. It's one of those decisions we know we need her to take for his benefit as well as the safety of everyone else. All of his guns are in a safe, and he already has difficulty opening it. We just need to break it to him gently. He's a sweet man, retired educator, and even now understands when things are explained logically and simply. Thanks again.

Friend with Alzheimer's

I have a friend who has Alzheimer's. He's had his carry licence for over 15 years. His doctor has already recommended that he no longer drive. His wife's concern is that if he carries and uses his weapon in self defense, will there be risks of liability if he's sued? His renewal comes up this January and she hasn't told him. She's reluctant to tell him he doesn't need to renew because not being able to drive hit him really hard, and telling him he can't renew may really hurt him. But the reality is there may be legal issues if he were to shoot someone, even if it is legitimate. What advise would you give?
