Beware your relatives. How much is this man worth? Would the relatives inherit if an “accident” were to happen during a wellness check? Never assume good intentions about any of these red flag incidents.
The man should notify his relatives that he has changed his will to give ALL his estate to the NRA.
I have a blood relative whom I love dearly, but wouldn’t trust with any information ‘bout my guns or medical records. He has an authoritarian streak a mile wide, and hates the idea of private gun ownership (not that he knows anything about guns — he just hates ‘em). He’d be the first to “red flag” someone if he thought he could contrive a believable story to tell the police. And whether that story was factual or complete fantasy wouldn’t make a bit of difference to him.
Since the police said they found a pipe bomb there, he is probably not coming back home. And if the police said they found a pipe bomb , they found a pipe bomb. They probably [with the same odds of probability that the sun will rise in the east Sunday morning] put it there, so why shouldn't they find it? So with that happening, the lawyers and family members will be fighting over who gets the old man's money. The smart money bets on the lawyers.
