My brother is a ticking time bomb, what should I do?
Hello everyone,
In my opinion, my brother is a ticking time bomb, and I'm wondering what I can do to ensure that the authorities can intervene more quickly and effectively if necessary. A few brief facts about him:
- 55 years old
- married for the third time, violent in all marriages
- 1 adult daughter, little to very little contact
- Hunting license holder, multiple weapons at home
- Threatened suicide attempts after the first two marriages
- very quick-tempered
- No friendship lasts longer than a few years
- Manipulative
In short, it's always just him. No matter what, he has to be the center of attention and he can do anything, knows everything. He has a weakness for counterfeit watches (for example, last Christmas he wore a fake Patek Philippe), and at the same time he puts down everyone else who has less money than him. He has beaten all of his (ex-)wives so far. He has beaten me too. On one of his birthdays a few years ago, he got completely drunk and shot a small-caliber rifle with a silencer into a tree in the neighbor's yard to show what a good shot he was.
I've seen him leave unsecured ammunition lying around in his car several times, for example, in the center console. I asked a police officer I knew through a few connections what could be done, but he said the ammunition issue was merely a misdemeanor.
My question now is:
What can I do to convey to the authorities that he's probably a danger, for example, if he gets divorced next time? He always tends to do dangerous things in these extreme situations. In the last two divorces, he made the aforementioned suicide threats, which I believe were more like cries for help. For a long time, there was a refugee shelter next to his apartment, and he always said he'd love to shoot them, making a gesture as if he were about to raise his gun, aim at the refugees, and pull the trigger.
Do you have any tips or ideas on what I can do here? Should I go to the police and express my opinion?
Thanks for your help!

Well, I think the police officer was wrong. The omitting of ammunition can already be sufficient to remove its weapons permission indefinitely. You can send a message to the Order Office that you saw it with him and that you would want it to be checked unannounced.
Thank you. I’ll think about it.
I have no experience because I’m only 11 but I would make a statement to the police because that is lying around ammunition and the intentional creeping in non-accountable condition represents more than an offence
Can I imagine myself?
The police are not hurting, but none of the points mentioned is enough to somehow permanently pull him out of the traffic, even the violence against the partners is not enough to refuse to show him. Some bombs just have to tick until they explode at some point (the next divorce?) or get done by time (fast death). You can at most check whether someone with such a character constellation is capable of carrying legal weapons, which might help here: Military MPU Munich | 2024
If he threatened suicide attempts, why don’t you go to the police? Such a statement is enough to doubt his suitability for leading firearms……
Then at least this problem would be off the table….without weapons, it’s only half as dangerous.
From the city I came there was a guy who threatened to do something to others, he was also a hunter. The next day at 5 a.m., he got a visit from the SEK, and then they cleared out the gun cabinet and pulled it off.

My parents didn’t want him to have any negative consequences. I understand that, after all, it’s her child and stuff. I was still too young to understand that. Thank you for your answer!
That is precisely the problem that such people intimidate their environment so that they do not oppose it……….
That’s right. Now that I understand better, I’m trying to do something about it. If I don’t do that, I’m sure that would have to suffer any uninterrupted one at his next raster.
