I have contacted my lawyer to file the paperwork to divorce my H. He is emotionally and sexually abusive to me and I've been working 2 years to get to this step. (Yay for therapy!)

So projecting now: H is served with papers while away from home. I have locks changed. Now MY house is the one with all the weapons. Rifles, handguns, shotguns, assault rifles, swords, spears, tasers - you name it short of a rocket launcher or cannon and he probably has it. He's a 2nd Amendment, doomsday nut and his guns might mean more to him than even I do. I have no idea if they're licensed, legal to own - I've been living under a rock and just realized there's a world beyond my rock.

I certainly don't want the weapons. And I don't want to be there when he comes to get them. To tell the truth, I don't want him to have them while we're living anywhere near each other.

The only thing I can think of is to have the local police department or sherrif come to the house while H is getting his stuff. They could make sure the guns were unloaded while he was here, for example. If it turns out that some of the guns are not legal and they're confiscated, this will cause H to lose his mind. He might literally assault someone. But even if he didn't, he'd be out for my blood for taking away his precious guns.

Surely someone has faced this issue and can offer advice.
