OP may not have a gun but he lobbed a grenade into r/ra with this one My (25m) boyfriend (28m) is mad at me for my stance on gun issues after our house was robbed quote:So I had someone break into our house last night and it was the scariest thing ever. My heart was pounding the entire time as screamed at the guy through the door to leave immediately.

I've only shot guns a couple of times in my life, both just target shooting with rifles. One thing I remember from the gun safety course I took was that warning shots are a concept only idiots believe in. We were told that if you're pulling that trigger, you drat well better be intending to hit what you're pointing at. The bullet doesn't know it's only supposed to be a warning. This was followed up by pointing out that if you purposely fire away from the person, into the air for instance, you effectively just fired rounds with no control over where they land. Those bullets are going to go somewhere, are you absolutely and totally certain that place isn't going to be into your neighbours kid? In conclusion, shooting guns can be fun. Dipshits with no concept of the value of human life can gently caress right off.

Might as well just buy a prop gun and fire blanks if you're trying to scare 'em with a loud sound. Safer for everyone involved.

I do understand the response, I had a very peaceful break in and I was jumping at noises for weeks after so I can once imagine a more dramatic one like that could make you so scared as to turn absolutely stupid.

Warning shots are how you end up in Jail. The state of Florida gun safety/concealed carry permit training classes helpfully remind you that you should always mag dump into the person you shoot to kill them because the jury can't hear the dead's counter testimony and firing all your bullets points to you truly being scared

One thing I've noticed is that these idiots never consider that if they could get a gun, so can the "crazy violent" people they think they're defending themselves against. Great now they can shoot you too!

Evil Willow posted:AITA for taking away my daughter's thanksgiving present because she refused to eat what my wife cooked? So on top of everything else, that "thanksgiving present" is her belated 16th birthday present? Isn't "sweet 16" the big birthday for girls in the US? That poor girl, she's acting more than reasonably and being treated like poo poo. I hope this is a troll post, but then I hope that with a lot of the posts in this thread.

Evil Willow posted:AITA for taking away my daughter's thanksgiving present because she refused to eat what my wife cooked? Wow, the loving layers here. Okay. Never force anyone to eat anything. Ever. What if there's an allergy? What if she's vegetarian? Texture issues, whether sensory or tooth related? Dad is a loving rear end in a top hat. Not every kid is going to get along on every point with their step parents and forcing that is the dumbest god damned thing you could ever do because it just makes the tension way way worse, wtg dad. Also withholding a BIRTHDAY PRESENT over something as dumb as food is basically just asking for your kid to hate you.

My GF (29F) just said that me peeing sitting down makes her feel uncomfortable, and asked that I (29M) stopquote:I naturally got defensive, as I believe no one should impact the way that I choose to use the bathroom. She chalked it up to her feeling uncomfortable to it not being “normal” and that I’m the only guy she’s dated that does it. I’d say I only do it when at home, in public I prefer to pee standing up. Should I feel as confused on how to approach this as I do now? I feel as though I have a right to be angry about someone telling me how I take care of business.

He should tell her that sitting down to pee increases his chances of getting prostate cancer, and she will be the one to apply the ointment.

There is the (extremely) small chance that the daughter is a picky eater and just wants to eat garbage like instant ramen or frozen pizza every day and won't touch anything green. The new wife is either trying things like shoving meat into the face of a vegetarian, or, most likely, given the conspicuous absence of her age, the new wife is 22 and the daughter isn't interested in indulging someone who is more like an older sibling or classmate that fucks her dad while playing house.

The cops in America won’t come out for burglary that happened when you weren’t home but a home invasion in progress is a chance to show up and shoot someone so they’ll definitely show up to that. If you are in the middle of nowhere it can take a while tho.
