Its obvious that your Dad needs the money.. Cmon.. Loan you dad the money, buy the gun from your dad, gift your dad the money.... have your dad sell the house instead of the guns and stuff and move in with you... that is what we did with my dad.
However... it sounds like your dad does not like to be in debt. I applaud your dad for that considering all the dead beats around. You should be proud of your dad.. and TALK TO YOU DAD... fer crying out loud.... its him, not us you need to be discussin this with and you have, by the way... in MY OPINION... no reason to be gettin steamed.
You are his son... go be one.
Aloha..
