protecting your guns from divorce

Hey look! The newb is getting all cocky.

Lol, just didnt have time to read the whole thing... I'm just assuming you guys lit him up like he should have been.... Maybe I'll read it later..

Btw, is it bad I'm reading the forum at a wedding?

It's probably only an issue if it's your wedding. Then again, I guess it depends on the mrs's, and if you're supposed to be repeating words the preacher is saying... "I promise to... Wow! There's a Sig for sale local!"

I mean, if I tried to leave with my whole gun collection, I'd need a trailer, got a lot invested...

But consider thus:

A written contract acknowledging, on the date you get the gun, that your wife exempts it from "community property" - you do the same for her when she buys one of those 500 dollar handbags.

Have your WIFE buy each of your guns, and give them to you as a gift - with an accompanying note about it BEING a gift. Gifts are not community property when given to a spouse.

Don't store your guns at home. Don't let your wife know what you own.

Even if you think you "know" a woman for 25 years, during a divorce ALL BETS ARE OFF. She'll be scrambling for advantage, and you will go from the love of her life, to someone she gets a restraining order against - JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SUGGESTS SHE DO IT. I guess it goes along with my belief and ANYBODY is capable of ANYTHING.

Be careful about selling something to a "friend" at less than market, the courts will frown upon that - if you're going to do a "friendly sale" make sure it's for fair market value, and whatever money you CLAIM changes hands gets used in a lawful manner, like going to Blackhawk.
