[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother in law confided in me that with the help of her boyfriend my MIL bought a gun. She doesn't have it yet. My husband and I are not unreasonably freaked out. She is the kind of person to leave needles for her cats medication in drawers the kids can reach so I am not remotely confident this will end well. She has been increasingly convinced a civil war s coming. We are obviously not going to stay at her house anymore but how do we talk to her about this?[/quote]

Your husband needs to have a conversation with his mother about this. Is this a straw purchase? Does she have paperwork to own and carry it legally? Has she taken a gun safety course? What is the deal with the boyfriend? Does he have a gun himself? Does he have a criminal record? Don’t take her word for it get a background check on him. This is too important for your husband to be silent.
There are a lot of issues here. 
And no one should be over at her house because of the gun or in her car or the boyfriends place or car. And don’t be surprised when she visits if she tries to bring the gun with her.[/quote]
