Question of the Day: Should Gramps Get to Keep His Gun?

One of my good college buddies called me the other day to get my advice about his grandpa. Seems the old guy has become quite protective of his 1911 at the ripe old age of 85. Even though he lacks the dexterity, eyesight, or strength to use it, he insists on having it around “just in case.” The family worries that he’ll accidentally kill somebody whilst handling it. With my friend’s mom there every other weekend, they’ve begun a game of cat and mouse where she hides the gun and takes the ammo on Sunday before she leaves. He then spends all week searching for it (usually finding it on Wednesday) and buying more ammo. So I’ll put it to you: should he get to keep his gun? In what circumstance(s) would you advocate a gun free house for the old guy?
