Sent you a PM.

My grandfather had dementia (also called alzheimers) and he had quit going downstairs to the basement, so things were left there, although pistols were unloaded and locked in metal cabinets.

I would guess the best way is to keep reminding him that he promised all the guns to you and you'd like to take them home. Whether true or not, eventually you'll want to keep him safe. Dementia is a nasty disease that can stay lite and not affect them very much, or can get worse and worse, they act like a child. I pray that it is solved, halted and your dad just ages gracefully.
