Mom has in her closet an old 'J.C. Higgins' marked (sold through Sears Roebuck) .22 single shot bolt action rifle that's just gathering dust and cobwebs. It'd be a terrific recreational rifle with a proper cleanup!
But...since she doesn't keep it for self-protection (she lives out in a rural part of Virginia) anymore because of the proximity of relatives to watch the place, how do I persuade her to part company with it? I even offered to buy her a shotgun to keep in the closet, but she didn't seem too keen to the idea.
Any suggestions?
