Double up on hearing protection andTry to learn how to use the gun properly. Youll be fine now delete the thread and go hug your dad
>>29564067
How do you wear double ear protection?

I don't know what that is.

Fuck. You could have at least been a scared kid.
But nooooooo. You're a spineless basement dwelling pussy.
Damn.
Shoot the gun, then get a job and move the fuck out you worthless little shit.
Then go shooting and become a gun not as well as a productive member of society.
And read the sticky. It'll give you everything you ought to know.
>>29564308
Oh, I did not notice the sticky, it actually looks pretty informative. Thank you.

>>29564067
>Double up on hearing protection
Do this. I went to the range yesterday only using cheap plugs and all I hear is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, but it's been like that for years anyway.
>>29564363
Yeah. Read the fucking thing and get out (of both /k/ and your parents house)
>>29564553
Can I come back if I actually shoot a gun?
>>29564050
Unless your father is a licensed gun dealer (FFL) or a Curio & Relics license holder (C&R) you're lying.
>>29564273
>>29564594
Why?
>>29564594
Because it is illegal to ship a firearm directly to a residence. Only much older firearms that fall under C&R can be sent directly to your home if you hold a C&R license. Excluding Black Powder weapons.
Modern arms can only be sent to an FFL holder.
Either your father has one of this licenses, you're lying, or he just committed a MASSIVE felony.
The only question that none of you have asked is WHAT IS THE GUN?
>>29564579
By all means, please come back if you intend to not be a complete and utter leech on society and a pussy.
>>29564637
Huh. Could he have just picked it up somewhere? I don't really know much about gun laws but I have heard they are not that strict here in Phoenix.
>>29564637
He might have picked the gun up from a shop, anons.
>>29564663
>large package arrived today
Did the box actually show up in the mail at your house? If not he probably picked it up somewhere then.
The laws I just described to you are Federal laws, not state laws. They apply across the entirety of the United States.
>>29564679
It was just in the living room in a long cardboard box, I assumed it had arrived in the mail.
>>29564308
>become a gun
I HAS BECOME GUN
Alrightly /r9k/, where the hell do you live you can have a gun shipped to your house?
>>29564690
Oh, well then, if that's the case it's probably nothing to worry about. Odds are he did pick it up at a shop.
What did he get you?

It was meant to say "become a gun nut"
>>29564703
It says remington fieldmaster on the box.
>>29564708
26 and not OP in same boat but still in college.
>>29564050
Assuming you're not bullshitting, what gun is in the box OP?
>>29564718
You're fine OP.
It's just a .22 (at least it should be after a cursory Internet search)

>>29564708
If your parents are happy to have you there, and you're chipping in, it's perfectly fine anon.
>>29564718
It's a .22 and will barely make a sound.
>>29564718
That's a nice little pump 22. Its a rifle in a small caliber, so it won't be very loud.
Give it a chance, wear earpro, and you'll probably like it.
Do it for dad, even if you are initially scared by the prospect. He is trying to bond with you, and develop a hobby you can share.
>>29564067
>>29564096
Ear plugs and ear muffs.
And dude....you're dad is trying to bond with you in one of the most man-to-man bro ways possible. You should be grateful that he cares enough to take the risk that you might be uncomfortable. If you're really worried try this it's a little trick:
>TALK TO HIM
Tell him your concerns and ask him for help.
I can almost guarantee you're going to love it man. Seriously, there are few things in this world better than going shooting with dad.
You'll probably flinch at first, but I assure you you'll probably like it.
Don't be afraid of it, you're the one that's going to be in control. Not much different than playing CS, just you feel the impulse. It's a lot "scarier" being around and watching someone shoot than it is being behind the trigger.
First couple times shooting, you might get really shaky. That's just the adrenaline. Over time your body gets used to it.
>>29564740
Nigger give that this guy by his own account can't handle loud noises, it's a good place for him to start.
>>29564708
Yeah they're your roommates if that's the case
>>29564708
This is normal. Rent is pretty high where I am (Edmonton), so you either live with family, a roommate, or with a GF/sex dom you met on /k/. I'm staying with family for a bit while I upgrade to a Class 1. In return, I pay rent and help them around the house.
>>29564743
They actually WANTED me back after I graduated. It's cheaper than living on my own, and they still care for me.
It's nice being able to repay them (somewhat). I bought them a 25th anniversary cruise, and helped dad restore my grandpa's 1972 Dodge Dart. I also bought my mom a Chanel handbag.
Remember to keep you finger off the trigger unless you are going to shoot, and never point it at anyone. Ever.
When you do go to shoot make sure whatever you're shooting at doesn't have anyone near the target or even close to your line of fire
>>29564718
Buy some Remington muffs likes these:
http://www.amazon.com/Remington-M31C-M-31-Premium-Earmuff/dp/B000F7P20G/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1460345851&sr=8-8&keywords=remington+ear+protection
and you'll barely be able to hear a .22lr. I own this pair, and I'm also sensitive to loud noises, but with them on I can shoot anything comfortably.
>>29564050
the first thing you should do when you have your hands on the gun is put it in your mouth and pull the trigger like he showed you.

You seriously can't be this pathetic. You're in one of the most /k/ states in terms of gun laws and aren't taking advantage of it? Fucking hell dude, you have NO idea what its like to have that right taken away, be happy, accept it and stop being a pussy
>>29564718
A .22lr, then. With earpro, you won't get much of a noise at all. And perhaps talk to your dad. Maybe you can slap a suppressor on it-then you really won't hear anything with a .22.
Who knows, OP, you may come to like it. It feels goddamn great when you get good at shooting, just like vidya. Practice some basic safety procedures, and don't be a sperg. And if you can't get over your fear of loud noises, you can move up to larger suppressed firearms.
Now git going, and report back here later and tell us how it went.

Please contain your autism long enough to encourage a new firearm owner rather than chastise him.
>>29564810
what I'm amazed is that he's playing CS and not wanting to shoot a real gun. I'm not sure what would be worse: not wanting to shoot a gun or bitching that it isn't an AK or a M4 from the game
Am I the only one that got my dad into guns not the other way around?
its a fucking .22 you will be fine, i can't handle loud noises either but with proper ear protection that is a manageable problem.
Either way you getting a free day at the range, that will be a good time.
It would've been pretty fucked if OPs dad got him a gun and the next day walked in to find his son dead.
Don't kill yourself OP.

Study this picture OP and follow every one of these rules religiously. Guns are fun, but if you are irresponsible and break any of these rules, people can be hurt or killed. Don't try to look cool or try to emulate your favorite vidjya game character.
>>29564708
Not in the adult world. All of my friends who still live at home at ~25 and are in school, I and every other independent adult looks down on them even though we know they're just afraid to do it all at once. I can't help it. I supported myself while in school. It was a scary move. So I know that they're just scared, and we all know that everyone else knows it, too. The only ones who don't realize it are the ones who are ~25 living at home for any reason.
Move out man. Room with strangers and start learning how to support yourself, you're not in High School anymore. You don't have to keep acting like you are.

Same. My dad was a liberal degenerate who hated guns. He's still a liberal degenerate but loves guns now.
>>29564783
This is the ideal life imo. My immediate family has always lived within walking distance of each other. Once upon a time we all lived in the same apartment complex.
I don't want to live at home forever but it wouldn't be that bad if I ended up having to, Ma doesn't want me to go either. Granted that might be guilt because thanks to her I got saddled with debt and collections by the time I turned 20.
Anyway, enjoy it Anon. They're only around for so long. Never mind what anyone else says. Do what makes you and your family happy.

>>29564881
Eh me and my brother live with our parents.
Its alot cheaper and the job market is just complete ass, its not uncommon and at all for people these days who are entering late 20's to still live with their parent's.
>>29564050
>>am scared of loud noises, can't even be around fireworks.
Start wearing ear pro man. Double up on ear pro, so wear both buds and electronic muffs. Dial the sound to where it sounds comfortable.
Seriously, when doubled up you won't hear shit. Especially if he got you a .22, it'll just feel like a gun that kinda shakes in your hand when you pull the trigger.
You can use it as therapy, slowly increasing the volume on the muffs to get more and more acustomed to loud sudden bangs - it might help you overcome your fear.
>>29564893
Mine was just a moderate democrat, he fully supports the 2nd amendment and realizes its not for "hunting". He just never really got into them.
>>29564050
Anon your dad is trying to bond with you. My dad started taking me shooting with a Ruger 10/22 in middle school. Grandpa would let me plink at his house in NC. It's gonna be great, and you'll get over your fear of loud noises. Also don't get disappointed if you suck at shooting, it takes practice.
On a side note does anyone here recommend a Supertuck IWB holsters for 1911s? Just submitted my shit to the DPS for a LTC.
>>29564153
my dad never brought me shooting
I had to be the one to bring him ;_;
I'm actually feeling a bit better about this. I am going to look at ear protection on amazon.
>>29564637
It's illegal to mail firearms in the land of the free?
Even the Peoples Socialist Republic of Canada allows it.
>>29564837
I did.
My dad wasn't against guns or anything, he just never owned them (except his grandpa's heirloom .22lr from like 1930).
After I bought a few guns and he went shooting with me a few times, he owns almost as many guns as me, and now has his carry permit.
He even bought a tacticool AK.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NKSMPZW/
nrr34 is overkill for a 22 but these will serve you well even if you get into bigger calibers and they're cheap
with a 22 you probably don't need to use earplugs beneath these
>>29565011
it's only allowed for a couple of things but otherwise has to go through a dealer
>>29564995
Please have fun with your dad anon, at the very least, if you end up going just tell him about your aversion to loud noises, even if the earpro works perfectly.
>>29565011
no, it's not. all the people replying to him are fucking retarded, and HE'S even more retarded than everyone else. it's not even that hard to get an FFL, a lot of tripfags on /k/ used to blog about it constantly
>>29565032
Thanks!
>>29564995
Your dad might be one of the types that doesn't think hearing protection is necessary with guns. It is necessary. .22 isn't very loud at all, especially not from a rifle, but you should still wear plugs at the very least.
Sounds like your dad wants to do something fun with you. Shooting .22 rifle is as fun as it gets. I think you'll love it OP. Be safe, look over the rules of firearm safety (if your dad doesn't have the sense to instruct you himself), and have fun.
>>29565011
You can't have a firearm mailed to your house unless you're an FFL holder, it's a black powder "antique" firearm, or it's a C&R firearm and you have a C&R license.

>He didn't do that shit, we all know it, long story but whatever it's four months
>Bring AR, Remington 870, another friend brings a .17 HMR bolt action
>Meet up at our friend Rs place, hang out for a bit, go to Ks (the one who owns the .17HMR)
>This scrawny little fifteen year old fuck named Nick who is burned the fuck out from smoking pot 24/7 and constantly steals shit and begs me for a pinch of dip every time I'm over asks to see my AR
>Fuck it, why not.
>He immediately pulls the charging handle back, checks the chamber, finger off of the trigger and muzzle to the ground the entire time
>Well that turned out better than expected
>Go over to Ks house
>We start shooting, but Nick doesn't want to. No matter what I tell him, he won't shoot the fucking AR. Like he thinks because it's so loud that we're fucking with him about it having little to no recoil.
>I even fire it one handed for him, still pussies out
>K apparently has a problem with the .17HMR, it was a shitty BSA scope that kept shifting zero on him plus he's a bad shot
>Nick warms up to this one a bit more, but when I start shooting to diagnose it, everything goes to shit
>He's flinching and covering his ears even though he has plugs in and is thirty feet away
>With a fucking .17HMR
>Ends up not firing a round the entire time, just holds and fucks with the .17HMR
He seems to have a genuine interest but he's fucked in the head and a total pussy. I hope I can push him a bit further into it and maybe it'll help him stop smoking and straighten the fuck out. His parents do not discipline him in any way, he just does what ever the fuck he wants.
>>29564050
My girlfriend is like you.
Just get good ear protection and be comfortable. If you didn't grow up around guns, I don't blame you for being scared of them.

I'm 23 and don't think that I will leave home any time soon either. I make roughly 35,000 per year and my career field doesn't offer any advancement past this point so I'm planning my life around this number. Moving out is really freaking expensive so I can choose to leave and barely get by on my own or live with my parents and spend $1,000 dollars per month on guns and going to the bar. Not a difficult choice to make. I can be ultra comfy, surrounded by milsurp, and spend a few nights per week hammered or sit in a small sparsely furnished apartment alone and without any disposable income. I've given up on women in general; this makes my living situation ideal.

I'm 25 and live with my dad. Though it is a big country house. I pay half the rent and help him out whenever I can (I study at a college). My dad has an iffy health and I'm kind of looking after him.
I feel embarrassed about it and I have never had people come over. I lived with my mom 'till I was 21 'cause I coulnd't get my own place but I did pay half the rent and helped her out with stuff.
I guess having lived my whole life with either of my parents has made me a kind of a shut-in. Still a kissless virgin and all because I never had the guts to ask a girl come over. Not a neckbeard nor autistic though.
You'll be wearing earpro, don't worry. Shooting is actually a surprisingly quiet hobby.
>>29565032
Not that anon but I'm a no guns here. How does ear protection really work? Does it block out all sounds were you won't be able to hear people talking to you?
Op, if you want to read up on some decent gun info and safety stuff lookup the "Canadian CFSC Manual" we have to go for license here, but the info is decent for someone who has never touched a gun before.
