    Firearms

    looking over the board I seen a few people that included firearms in there BK paper work.
    when we met with our lawyer she never asked us about firearms when she was asking her questions. I sold most all of my firearms last year around christmas time to buy my daughter and wife gifts and to pay for other holiday related expenses.
    but I still own 2 firearms...do I need to let the attorney know about these? one is an old Russian rifle made during WW2 and can be bought all day long for about $100 and the other firearm is the revolver I carry on a daily basis for protection and can be bought brand new for $250 and "street value" of it would be more like $150-175.
    after reading through the threads on this board Im starting to second guess my choice for an attorney, as ours doesnt seem to be as helpful as some of the ones Ive read about on this board...we went to her becuase she had great reviews even tho her fees are about $300 or so more than the average attorney int he area.
    the only thing she really asked us was normal expenses,how much the home/vehicles are worth,how much our cloths and furniture would sell for and how much our 2 dogs are worth{which is very hard to put a price on 2 family members..being rescue dogs I just said they are worth the $75 we paid to rescue them} but she never asked about firearms and frankly I wasnt really thinking about them at the time anyway.
    I need to run by her office tomorrow and drop of some collection letters I recieved,while Im there should I let her know about the firearms?
    I think IN allows $4k in tangible personal property{wild card and $7,500 homestead} and what we own is worth well below all that...I assume firearms would fall under tangible property?

    We listed ours in our paperwork. We didn't want anything coming up w/ it later since they are registered in dh's name.

    I'd let her know.

            I just love that the way advertisements show up on this forum. Talk about guns, and you get "Front Sight Firearms Training"

            On my paperwork I listed all of my firearms with what would be pawnshop values. I'm well within my exemptions in California. I'd rather be conservative when it comes to something like this, you don't want the trustee to have an "AHA!!" moment.

            Mosin Nagants (which is what I assume you are describing) sell at Big 5 around here for well under $100. I don't think you have to sweat the trustee on this one.

              I wasnt able to get in to speak with the attorney in person but I did send her and email. in the email I included several things I forgot about when we last met such as the firearms,some fishing equipment and some electronics.
              she replied back and said I dont need to worry about the value of my personal property as I am no where near the $16,000 exemption. so I guess all is well?
              I was also concerned that I didnt send her all of the paper work she needed but she said I had sent her everything she needed other than my last pay stub and that my paper work was ready for me to come in and sign and we can file then...yay 1 step closer!

              its also going to be nice when the creditors stop calling..they are getting so bad that they are starting to jeprodize my job..my boss had a talk with me this morning and said he "went off" on a creditor yesterday calling for me. Ive told them to not call me at work as I work 3rd shift and I am not even there when they call..my boss has even told them this yet they continue calling. can anything be done about this even tho my stay has not been placed yet? I know I have rights and if these creditors cause me to loose my job I will sue until I can sue no longer. its embarrasing enough that several people at my job now know about my BK..now Im passed the embarrased part and into the down rite angry part.

                I can only speak from my experience but if you bought your guns over 2 years ago, I wouldn't even mention them. I never listed mine. I remember sitting during the 341 meeting and you hear other people cases before yours. They were asked if they owned any guns but when it was my turn I wasn't asked that question. I am thinking they listed them.
