  Welcome to America

  I don’t think this is legal basically anywhere. In the US, this would be brandishing or threatening with a deadly weapon.

    It’d be hard to prove brandishing. As another poster said, it’s a legal weapon, in the homeowners abode, placed on the table, not pointed at or waived at the person, with nothing said around it. It’d be really hard to prove anything. He’ll, look at the white couple that was literally brandishing their guns and they almost got away with it.

        Which is poor gun handling, but I’m not sure you could get your licence taken away for it.

    Yeah maybe. Doesn’t seem to stop redneck fathers of girls in conservative states. They consider it a rite of passage for fatherhood.

      My FIL did a gun cleaning night when I was first taking his daughter out on dates. Had 3 guns disassembled on the kitchen table and let me know they’d be reassembled by the time I brought her home. He’s a really nice guy, but yes, that shit is “normal” in the US

        It isn’t normal, the weirdos just think everyone else acts like them.

        Back in my college days I was picking a GF up from her dads house and walked up to him sitting on the porch with a rifle in his lap. He was cool with me but it was still awkward. I was just like “… shooting stuff?”. “God damn squirrels won’t stay out of my garden”.

      I had a high school girlfriend whose dad pulled that bullshit. I realized quickly that I didn’t like her enough to deal with that level of crazy.

    Yeah, you can do that in your own house pretty easily.

    They must not be Americans. I envy them, but at least when I eat my own weight in pizza it’s actually good pizza.

      I’m blessed by the insurance gods. Guns, abortions and insurance. Pizza is also kinda nice.

    Yup. You first prove that you are sane and have no criminal background, your local government provides you with a certificate for that. And then you acknowledge that you know the rules and stuff. The final step is paying a small yearly fee.

      For the 'lil plastic pellets? Or the similarly-sized lead ones?
