We don't give advice here because none of us are licensed professionals. All we can give is our personal experience. Having been in the "business" of drunks and guns for several decades here is my experience.
If you unload all the guns the only person who knows they are unloaded is you. Many times the drunk will put a gun to their head, the neighbors panic, the cops show up, and the cops do not know the guns are unloaded. My experience is that the only safe place for guns to be when there are drunks around is some other place. Take them to a friend who has a safe, take them to the gun club, rent a storage locker, last resort take them to a pawn shop and _pay_ them to keep them.
The links to reading material will keep you busy for awhile. You will find a lot of terminology that is a little different; enabling, letting go, one day at a time. Start another thread with whatever questions come up. You will get a lot of answers, and you will help the huge number of people who visit SR but never post their own questions.
Glad to meet you, Itchy, but sorry you had to come here.
