Oh believe me, when it comes to firearms, the police WILL come to the house. They will be MORE than happy to confiscate any firearms that are NOt licensed and are illegal -- and probably lock him up in the process. LOL
But I'm wondering, are you AFRAID of your husband? If so, why give him the firrearms in the first place? I realize that they are HIS -- but I wouldn't want him to have them if he's got a temper, and from the sounds of it, he DOES!!! Since he has abused you already, what makes you think you'd be safe with hm if he's got firearms readily at hand now that you've served him divorce papers?
Maybe when you let him get his guns you should also at the same time, have a restraining order served on him. This would at least keep him away from you for awhile, at let him calm down while the divorce is being finalized. Just a thought, but *I* would surely do it!!!
I wish you the very best. Keep us posted, will you? God bless and please be careful! Hugs, Lee
