evil dogooder 982 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) As some of you know my mother had some very serious medical issues this year. From being poisoned by her doc to getting purposely exposed and contracting covid in the hospital. While my dad had great insurance, $12k + a day for 5 months adds up quick and it looks like the lawyers aren't going to be cheap either. So to help out out I sold most of my guns. As each one went out the door I would reevaluate what I had left. At first it was easy. Guns we didn't shoot, or were collectible. Then went the ones that were duplicates. Next was the ones that were single purpose, like hunting or target or home defense only. It boiled down to what I actually use. At the end of the list I ended up with my sass guns. They fill all my needs, from protection to hunting, to competition. While they aren't perfect, they are more than adequate. Maybe someday I'll be able to rebuild but I'm content with what we have. If this crazy world ever settles down we can still compete. It brings back then old adage fear the man who only owns one gun, well we have more than one but you get the idea Anyway it all boils down to realizing what you actually need to have... family, friends, and a few good guns Edited December 1, 2020 by evil dogooder 5 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bgavin 1,569 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 One thing about selling off assets to pay bills... after the assets are all gone, the bills keep coming. It is a crying shame you had to resort to this. I fervently hope her situation improves. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskey Business 1,139 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Does not sound right. Call the hospital, try to get the bills down. Call the insurance co. Be polite but firm to everyone. And consice. And you are in no way responsible for her bills. Edited December 2, 2020 by Whiskey Business 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
