(54,770 posts)care about because of your love of all things guns.
I had to take guns away from my father-in-law -- retired Air Force with 25 some years, and retired Deputy Sheriff with about the same -- when he became confused/demented after several years on dialysis.
He was already having hallucinations that my wife, who cared for him 24/7 for most of 3 years, and I were ghosts/demons. I stopped him one time as he was digging through his drawer for his revolver. Took a shot gun away from him too. Fact is, guns and dementia don't mix.
Your day will come as well, and I hope someone is prepared to relieve you of your guns (just like many children of elderly do with automobiles).
Believe it or not, the OP is serious stuff -- as are people walking around with guns while on prescription meds that alter one's judgement. Heck, even Sudafed can make one high and meaner.
