Owners of nice art, guns, pens, whatever their passion often feel that by donating them to a museum and taking the deduction they are preserving the item so all can appreciate forever more. It's never really worked that way.

Things left in families have disappeared into drug money for the third generation, or power bills if left to museums because insurance rates went up. You can't control the future.

Kevin, is R L selling books , paper , or back to guns? He is interesting and knowledgable
