He adamantly refuses to purchase or place his gun in a gun safe.
This guy wants to think he's John Wick but forgot that no one in charge trusts people like him to be armed 24/7, which is why they lock all the weapons up and do inventory before and after issuing them. John Wick was a marine, though, so maybe he's just living the crayon eating part of the character
"People keep asking if I'm going to buy a lifted F-150 with 28% APR and marry a 19 year old I've known for a week and I haven't really had an answer, but yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to buy a lifted F-150 with 28% APR and marry a 19 year old I've known for a week."
Yeah, and look what happened! If he'd left a gun on the edge of every piece of furniture in the house instead, those guys would've never killed his dog.
American media's obsession with portraying Marines as some kind of elite soldier is fucking hilarious to me after reading Generation Kill and learning they're just drunk frat boys given guns and told to kill
They're possibly the least glamorous soldiers anywhere
You’d think the myth would’ve been shattered after seeing a mentally disturbed trainee becoming the Perfect Marine and shooting his drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket
There's no way that, in the movie canon, John Wick was a marine. Come on, that's so lame. It's revealed in the second movie, I think, that John Wick was born in the USSR, trained from early childhood to be an assassin for the criminal syndicates that control the underworld. They don't need to say "he's badass because he was a marine." John Wick doesn't need that. Being a marine doesn't make the character more interesting, it makes him worse.
I looked it up and found a reddit post that claims one of his tattoos is a latin motto that is popular among marines, and also that the video game payday 2 claims he was one. I'm going to discount payday 2 because I doubt whoever wrote John Wick's blurb had access to whatever story bible the John Wick team has. As for the tatto, I mean, he is a soldier of fortune, but for the criminal underworld. It'd make sense for him to have a tattoo like that without ever having been in the military.
Also that reddit post, which speculates that John was discharged from the military for being mentally unstable, has this line: "Of course, John would never get to be a Marine if he had psychological issues before being in the army."
Anyway, here's my impression of Jarhead John being asked how he became the world's deadliest man:
"Hey John, is it true you incredible fighting ability is due to the fact that you were fostered by each of the world's most powerful crime syndicates, trained in their fighting styles, and then spent ten years with the secret, still extant Order of Assassins?"
"Oh, yeah, that was cool, but most of it came down to being yelled at by a guy in fatigues for a few months and then calling in airstrikes any time we heard a noise."
The two types of military veterans who do this, desk jockeys who feel they have something to prove because they weren't combat arms and deeply fucked up combat veterans who are broken in the brain.
I'd say, "she should get a divorce" but the dude would probably try to kill her.
Grief counselling just consists of showing the child the fathers Facebook posts and telling them they're braver than the troops because the person they domed was actually probablly armed.
As a military wife she probably gets uprooted regularly and has no chance to ever build any sort of relationships with people off-base. It's never that simple.
That's true, but if this guy does this again (and he will, soon), and the daughter dies, the OP will absolutely go to jail too. For a very long time. Probably longer than if she blew the guys head off
Always have a safe, never leave a gun unattended and unlocked for any reason. All guns are loaded, that gun you just visually checked the chamber of is especially loaded.
Never have a safe, always leave a gun unattended and unlocked for no reason. Don't worry about checking if the gun is loaded, it probably isn't. If you want to be sure, look down the barrel.
Roving gangs of Mexican Isis cartels funded by the Chinese KGB are roving every suburb of America. It's a warzone out there and youl will get killed and eaten if you don't shoot first.
You are safest when your gun is as accessible to you as possibly which is why you should never lock it away or keep it hidden. You should always keep it loaded. Let your toddler play with the gun, it builds character and the sooner they get comfortable handling firearms, the sooner they can get their own and help keeping everyone safe.
California makes someone criminally liable for keeping a firearm on his or her premises where he or she knows or reasonably should know a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or legal guardian, if the child does gain access and carries the firearm off the premises.
A person is also criminally liable for keeping a loaded firearm where he or she knows or reasonably should know that a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or guardian, if the child actually does gain access to the firearm and either carries it to a public place, brandishes it in a threatening manner, or if someone is injured as a result of the child gaining access to the firearm. The penalty imposed is significantly greater if someone dies or suffers great bodily injury as a result of the child gaining access to the firearm.
Moreover, a person is criminally liable for keeping any firearm, loaded or unloaded, on his or her premises where he or she knows or reasonably should know a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or legal guardian, if the child does gain access to it and carries the firearm to any preschool or school grades K-12 or to any school-sponsored event, activity, or performance.
idk, smells of incompetence to me. Everyone knows to keep their loaded, unsecured firearms under their pillow instead of just letting it all hang out on the edge of the bed.
I have a few guns and specifically bought a safe as soon as my daughter was born for this exact reason. Dude is a fucking sociopath and I hope his toddler shoots him and no one else.
NTA, the Founding Fathers fought and died so that you could have the freedom to leave loaded handguns around your personal domicile. Leftist authoritarians hate this, of course.
Well, at least at the range you also have a gun which can be used to enforce safety protocols. Having taken part in that sort of interaction, I have to say it's less than ideal.
I can’t help but expect her to be murdered by him some day, not necessarily in a fit of rage or something, although that’s possible. I’m assuming he hears a noise in the house and unloads a full magazine into the shadowy stairwell that she was walking up after getting a drink of water.
