Does your dad still drive? Does he have the keys and access to drive?

Believe me, I am all for someone being able to have guns to protect themselves.

But I draw the line with someone who is even remotely unstable.

I've always planned on getting one (with practice first) for living alone and being able to protect myself. And even bought a cool "hidden drawer" shelf for it (still in the box). But my youngest (adult) daughter who continues to live with me is totally against it. And I respect that.

I didn't know this until years later. When she was young and in college, she had a boyfriend for awhile who apparently had become very depressed, and at one point she wrestled him to get his gun away from him. (He wound up getting through it and I met him and his grandmother a year or two later when I was with my daughter shopping and so was he.... he was getting married!)

I can't imagine her being faced with that ever, let alone when she was not even 20 yet. So, no, once he made any kind of threat, or showed difficulty making decisions or any other signs of mental decline, I would never, never return the gun.

'He threatened to kill her.'

'Should I give Dad back his gun?'--> No

I'm all for gun rights, but the moment such a statement is made, in any context, that person should not have a gun. He might see it as a punishment, but in reality, it's a favor.
