How about personal firearms? I personally know of one very senior man who has some dementia going on and is confined to a wheelchair. He keeps a loaded pistol in the side pocket of the wheelchair. He has pulled it and waved it around when angry. His family was notified but won't do anything saying it his right to be armed.



Would the family be liable for their inaction if he shot someone?

I would hope that his family would have responded differently. If I ever get to that point I'd like to believe my kids would intervene - whether we are discussing CWP or driving licenses.
