    I mean, that’s probably not gonna get the girl, but I think you taught her dad a little humility

      Thanks for sharing the rest of the post. But I’m confused about who is speaking what during the last three lines after “even on our dates”.

        GF: “Did you always have a gun?”

        Anon: “I always carry”

        GF: “Even on our dates? Did you think I was gonna rob you or something?”

        Anon: “Muggers don’t wait until it’s convienient for you to get robbed, you know?”

        GF: “Oh that makes sense.”

        Girl: even on our dates

        2A bro: did you think I was gonna mug you? Why would I wait?

        Girl: got it

        That better?

        Though it makes it even less believable. Most dads I know that might do that have daughters that would appreciate it lol

    I am pretty sure I am not allowed to pull out and place even an airsoft gun on the table where I live. The rules clearly state that it must be kept locked in a safe. That would be an easy way to get someone’s license revoked if you record it…

      Dad shows a gun to show OP he’s a badass. Op doesn’t realize and shows his gun.

      Common American culture is that you’re supposed to show your gun on the third date with the family, not the first. You’re also supposed to have a Mexican standoff when you walk into the house, with dad aiming at you, you’re aiming at dad, dog aims at GF, etc. And if he’s lucky, they have a rousing game of Russian roulette before tapas.

      Totally understandable if you didn’t know. Just basic 2A knowledge every American learns about during elementary school.
