Never had someone point a gun at me like that, but I dated a girl in college that had a dickhead 2nd amendment gun nut dad who never missed an opportunity to mention he had guns and wasn’t afraid to use them if I “didn’t take good care of his daughter.” It didn’t intimidate me in the slightest though, and just let me know he was a scared, insecure loser.

I mean yeah, funny greentext, fake and gay and all, but is that an actual thing that happens across the big pond?
If someone did that in Europe they’d be in serious legal trouble if the threatened party sues.

Health insurance policies
h3ndrik@feddit.de 3 days ago
Hmm, you’d think. But actually health insurance works here. It’s nothing to brag about. I rarely hear people talking about it. At least not more than they talk about their households contents insurance. (I mean guns in the USA alzo aren’t something that’s exceptional… so you might have a point.)
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Nah guns are more like dutch bicycles. Yes we all have several, but each is important and must be talked about
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I’m sure people who have good health insurance in the US don’t see it as an issue. But what about all the others?

Water pistols. (Optionally modified to shoot liquid nitrogen)
Tryptaminev@lemm.ee 3 days ago
While it sounds badass “shooting” liquid nitrogen is in fact quite useless. Source: i had liquid nitrogen poured over my hands at room temp. It just feels like cold water as it quickly evaporates before actually touching it.
See video for example
Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s not meant to cause too much damage. If I wanted that I’d attach a match to the front and shoot fuel instead but that sounds even less legal.

I had just finished my range day and I had my guns strupped for cleaning when my step daughter dropped of my son for his weekend visit with her boyfriend.
I wasn’t trying to flex or anything, but I did find it funny. Luckily she married a different guy after college.

OP (dad), married a woman and accepted her daughter into the family, making her his stepdaughter. We’ll call her Drake. Dad already had a son from a previous marriage. We’ll call the son Josh. Drake and Josh became close stepsiblings. Drake started dating a boy, who we’ll call Freddy. Drake introduced Freddy to Josh, and they hang out every week at Josh’s place to play Overwatch. Drake brought Freddy to her house, where dad was cleaning his guns, just in time for Freddy to walk past on his way to Josh’s room.

I think his stepdaughter, with her boyfriend, dropped off his son for the son’s weekend visit with him (him being the commenter, the father).
It reads like his son was visiting his stepdaughter’s boyfriend. Maybe it is that, but it’d be odd.

Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Just a few southern states, and outliers. But really, not so much now. It happened once when I was a kid and the dad was an asshole, so I married his daughter to spite him. Couple decades later and I regret that marriage and wish I would have went with my first instinct and asked if he wanted me to clean it because it was dirty.

This idiotic bullshit happens all over, it’s just more concentrated in the South.
This happened to a friend of mine from the UK in fixing Minnesota. He had NO context for what was happening and almost shit his pants.

It’s by dudes that claim to have fucked a lot of bitches in their early years. It’s not as serious as it sounds. Well. The best part is reminding them of what they claim they did if they talk like that.
They almost never have their guns at work.

Sounds legal overall for America. “Brandishing” is generally illegal, i.e pulling out your gun and pointing it at or actively threatening someone with it, regardless if you fire it.
Pulling out your legal gun in your home and setting it flat on your table? Hard to argue it was a threat without a verbal threat or some other action. It may have been one, but id be suprised if anyone would arrest someone over that.
OP pulling his own gun does make this a hilarious and potentially deadly situation.
