My brother in law has been suicidal (he battles depression and anxiety, but has publicly threatened suicide as a means to manipulate his mother, as well as what I believe to be actual threats of suicide and cries for help on social media), and he wants his handgun back. His father (my husband’s father) died last year and left the gun to BIL in his will. We had the gun and kept it in a gun safe, and BIL keeps asking for it. When he randomly asks for the gun (he’s done this 3 or 4 times in the last year) he’s usually in a manic state, verbally aggressive and threatening, and clearly not someone we’d feel comfortable handing a gun over to. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to give him the gun and him kill himself, but I also understand that the gun being willed to him is something sentimental. I don’t know what to do.
