A “got away” gun? Yes, there’s one. And it’s a cautionary tale. My grandfather would often say, “When I’m gone I want you to have my Winchester.” It was a lever action Model 53 (I think) in 32-20 and he had saved long to buy it and put it to good use over the decades of his adult life. I was overseas when he died and I asked my Dad to hold it for me. He came back to say that there was nothing written indicating that it was to go to me and one of my cousins already had it. That was that. Now 50+ years later it still hurts to think about it.
If we have guns we want to go to certain grandkids or others, we need to have those instructions in writing or better yet, already in their hands.
