My Father in law brought a gun to Mother's Day

[SilvaTungDevil]

. There are also plenty of people who have to work amongst such and it's perfectly reasonable that such people arm themselves for the possibility that they might find themselves inadvertently in the middle of something that they would rather not be in the middle of unarmed.

I've faced being drawn down on 3x in my professional career. Every time, a "friendly gun" would've complicated matters.

Feel free to arm yourself young man! Just give me a heads up if you're coming to my dinner table.

If he drew his gun to show it off like an idiot, then fine...be pissed at him. But he had his gun holstered the entire time while he was there AND you and everyone else had no clue and frankly, still would have no clue if he didn't tell you at the end of the night.

IMHO, he did nothing wrong if he had a valid license to conceal carry. If you don't like guns in your home, place a sign out like malls and restaurants do (I'm sure that won't increase your chances of a hot prowl burglary). Either that, or move to England or Venezuela if you hate guns so much.

Its a polite thing to ask, or just leave the weapon at home. not unlike showing up cok to do in the bathroom. Its just fucking rude.

 

[SilvaTungDevil]

You're an idiot. That's probably why your wife left with the children. You dont bring a gun into someone's house without them knowing, you backward, inbred desert tranny.

Gross post. Please don't get my back any more.

It's my understanding guns cause people to want to shoot everyone they encounter. You are lucky to be alive.

Who would go out of their way to get fingerprinted, background checked, attend courses and classes, pay the fees due, and then simply go around shooting people? Fact is, conceal carry individuals are a tiny fraction of 1% of the shootings that take place, and are some of the safest and most safety conscious people you’re likely to meet

Missouri requires none of that Mensa boy.

We’ve never corresponded before, seems like a very rude way to introduce yourself. Guess we can be glad you don’t like guns, you’re simply too ill tempered to be trusted with one

Again, Why?

I would expect that if we were on a congenial enough basis for me to be invited to your table or your mine that we would have already had some sort of discussion about my carrying or non carrying practices, Yes?

Perfect strangers from time to time actually do inquire about my caring practices because of where I happen to be at the time. Not a question I'm particularly comfortable answering for strangers. I would prefer that most people either have a firearm in their direct possession or locked in a safe somewhere. Anywhere in between it's subject to becoming part of the problem is my thinking.

Were you aware that your father-in-law sometimes carries? And if he does carry did you assume that he would leave it in the car to be stolen or what did you think it best for him to do with his firearm?

See? That's why some pro-gun people lost any credibility with the Public.

Advocating for the right to have guns is one thing, but it's something else to say that it's your right to bring your gun on someone's private property, even if that person is afraid of guns. It's bordering on mental assault.

People cut you some slack, and instead of taking just the finger you want the whole hand.

 

[SilvaTungDevil]

You guys are conflating "concealers going around shooting everybody" with numb nutz having accidents. I can talk my way outta one but not the other. Wear it on your hip so I can make the decision.

As I said, a homeowner can ask a conceal carry not to do so on his property, but in doing sobsssumes full responsibility for their safety, and assumes criminal liability if anything happens because their defense capability was denied them

Maybe you should wear an armband that says you’re an asshole, so I can know about you beforehand and keep my distance

I'd forgotten he carries. He doesn't hunt, has never been in armed services, and to my knowledge was not raised around guns. So, unjustly or not, I don't trust his safety practices.

I would have asked him to lock it in my safe and assured him that in the case of a home invader, my badass ninja skills would suffice.

Apparently you're too fucking stupid to have one.
And I never once said I had a problem with guns. Again, your Mensa membership needs revoked. You can't even read.

That is simply not true. You keep saying that. Show me the relevant laws that say that or one case where a person was successfully sued due to that. You can't.

Though I appreciate your rebuking him, RobDownSouth is a useful foil to illustrate the bigotry in the world, even if he does do it through cowardly sock-puppets. He has so tarnished his brand that he rarely posts as RobDownSouth anymore.

If you want to have a gentlemanly conversation with him you'll have to approach him these days as ChancellorPalpatine. That series of sock-puppets started off as a "Skiddles" offshoot and has morphed into his "clean" persona.

Bizarro world where Rob is now the over-the-top one and Skiddles, the phoney Canadian, is the reasonable one

By the way, no one knows anything about guns applied the word "arsenal" to the actual guns. And

An arsenal is the place you keep the guns, not the guns themselves. You apparently actually do have an arsenal because from what you've written you keep your guns off site in a location specifically reserved for the storage of guns. That would be an arsenal.

Wrong again, Queef.

1. a : an establishment for the manufacture or storage of arms and military equipment The city is home to a federal arsenal.
b : a collection of weapons

I no longer have a reading problem with you, because you’re now on *Ignore*... you just came here trolling for a fight, and with so few posts are likely just an alt anywsy

Hmm. I'm trying to kind of picture the scene and I'm assuming that we're talking about a relatively old codger and there might be some concerns there about him mishandling and or not really being quite right to be carrying at his age if that might be the case. Same way you might be concerned about a relative insisting on driving themselves over when it might be best to have a family member pick them up.

You mentioned that you had forgotten he carries so apparently in the past you were aware that he carried? How did it come up that you noticed that he was carrying?

On the other hand he can't be too much of a loose cannon with his cannon as it were, because somehow or another you able to safely f*** his daughter, either before or after the benefit of matrimony. It wasn't a shotgun wedding was it?

If enough people continue to refer to a collection of clowns as a "circus" I'm sure that at some point Merriam-Webster will add that as a secondary, but wrongly derived, definition.

There's no root etymology to backup that secondary definition. Just because something iis bastardized into common usage doesn't make it a correct. As I said, nobody that knows anything about guns uses it in that way. I said nothing at all about how it's used by people that don't know anything about guns.

Wow. This is world class dumbassery right here.

Why stop there?
It's your guys' legal right to come to my dinner party armed with machetes, samurai swords and machine guns.
Cause someone needs to protect the kids there, right?

B...b...but etymology!

Words are living things in the sense their meanings evolve in time. Their value rests on the fact their meanings are shared among the community of language users.

I gotta go, but you guys, please keep arguing. This is the biggest thread I've ever started! It's already decimated my previous record of 4 posts!
