and opened the lockbox. He all of a sudden acted like he just had a moment of clarity and was shocked I locked his guns up. I was not going to stop him we would have had a physical fight. I am not ready for that but when I am I will pursue the guns again. If I can keep him in a good mood until tomorrow at 10am to sign the POA papers then all hell can break loose for all I care now. I have about had it.
Until that day, there are bright orange shotgun and pistol trigger locks that our sheriffs give away to people who need them. Inquire! They can only be taken off with the key and because they are "high viz" the police can see that they are protected - like the orange caps on toy guns.
But the critical thing now is to ensure your own safety.
Good luck at the lawyer's office tomorrow. Please keep us informed. We are thinking of you and hoping for the best.
Just a word of warning so you are not surprised, if hubby isn't in clear mind when you are with the Attorney, the Attorney has the power to not have your hubby sign any type of legal documents.
As for the firearms, those who grew up with firearms have a real attachment to them so removing said items from the house could result in a major battle, and cause fear for your husband thinking he cannot defend his home.... I agree with those who said get the firearms "disabled". He can still hold the guns, put in the bullets, but the firearm won't work if he pulls the trigger.
