My father passed last year. He didn't have a lot of guns, but he had several nice one.

I'm the guy guy in the family, and Dad wanted me to have them all.

My brother, not a gun guy, asked if he could have one of Dad's semi-autos.

Dad only had two semi-autos, I wanted both of them, and neither one was what my brother was talking about wanting, so I told him no, but I'd take care of it.

A few weeks ago I picked up a Ruger 9mm for a song that I'm going to give to him.

Solves the issue nicely.
