Agree.

Surely a case by case basis.

My dad lived his last twelve years with us passing at 79 yrs. old. He knew and accepted that the best part of his life was over but didn't want to rush leaving outta here. He remained just as vigilant about his SD as when he was younger and had remained safe with firearms till he passed.

I may have had to worry about him climbing on the tractor and taking too many chances getting too close to the ravines but he never gave me a reason to worry about his conduct with a weapon. If he would have given me reason's to doubt his competency with firearms, I would have been forced to deal with the situation, given things a lot of thought as to how to apply my decisions most tactfully but would not have prolonged my decisions.
