The post below about the CCW/medical marijuana got me to thinking...
I have a situation, I recently sold gun to a lady friend of my wife's.
She had moved to a new town, bought a low budget house in a low income neighborhood. She had mentioned to my wife that she was afraid living there alone, wanted to buy a gun, and knew I had one for sale. I was skeptical, this lady was not real stable.
Soon after moving in, the house was burglarized while she was home! They never threatened her, but didn't seem too concerned there was someone there. They did leave quickly once she let them know she was home.
Justifiably, that intensified the desire to have some protection, so I gave in and sold her the gun. I made her promise to go get a permit to carry, which she agreed to do.
A few days later, she was burglarized again! Different person, again he ran when she started calling out her son's name, even though he wasn't there. For whatever reason, she didn't try to use the gun, probably too scared to even think about it!
But this time he got her purse, with her check book in it. She closed the bank account before I cashed the check, so I never got paid for the gun. That's not really a concern, I had nothing in it, so I've never even brought it up to her.
That's when things got bad. She lost her job, had a falling out with her deadbeat son and girlfriend, wrecked her car, broken ankle, etc. Had an understandable bout of depression, made a feeble attempt at suicide with an overdose of pain meds. Ended up in a lockdown institution for a week.
Here's my concern. I now know I should have never given her the gun. With this suicide attempt, there is no way she can get a permit! Besides, she doesn't have the money to even try to get permitted. I would feel terrible if she did something stupid with the gun I provided! I don't think there would be any legal repercussions against me, the gun was legal but not registered to me, it was my late fathers.
Should I try to get it back from her? Let it be? I don't want to cause her any more problems or upset her, but I am concerned with this.
