I'm texting with my brother, and he said he'll hop on a plane and fly out here to get Dad's guns if he won't let Tim and me take them. We have keys to Dad's apartment, so my brother said he'll just wait until Dad's at work and then go take the guns.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Yikes, Steph. That is a whole lot to deal with.

Jeez, Tep, that's incredibly scary. I'm glad your dad's neighbor contacted you because somebody's going to get shot.

Okay, Tim's awake. THIS is going to be a fun conversation.

Please let us know how it goes. Yes, the paranoia is a bad sign. He may well have kept a prescription or two.

Good lord, Tep. That is a LOT! Yikes! I hope your dad can be more reasonable about all this than not. Dang.

Tim isn't super comfortable with the idea of us taking Dad's guns (I do not blame him AT ALL), and said that if my brother really can come out here, he'd rather go that route. So we'll see what we need to do to make that happen.

That's understandable. I have heard of places where you can just turn in guns to be safely disposed of no questions asked but I don't know how widespread that is or how to go about finding one, but might be an option for you - just pick them up from your dad and take them immediately to the sheriff or wherever

I'm not especially keen on having in a gun in the house, but I might make an exception for a Dragonov.
