How does your family react to you having guns?
Personally
>family used to not care
>after Orlando, several family members including my own mother said I'm a "terrorist sympathizer" for supporting the NRA
>dad is chimping out, and turned-in all his guns (which I bought him) to his local police station for destruction
>half my family is circlejerking on Occupy Democrats posts saying that "assault weapons" and all semi-automatic rifles should be banned
>try debating it, they block and remove me as a friend
>uncle said I'm never allowed at his house unless I get rid of my guns
How does your family react to gun ownership? Does it get worse around mass shootings and terrorist attacks?
>>30260687
they don't know about them.
>>30260687
We're your new family. You're safe with us, anon.
Fuck those shitsticks.
>>30260703
>new family
>implying I haven't seen you guys as my family since I was a lowly underageb& years ago
>>30260687
My family is a bit unnerved that I own quite a few. But I make it clear that the only people I would be willing to shoot with them would be anyone threatening the family.
>Get rich
>See how they will crawl back to you
>>30260687
My old man just sent me a text with a picture of pmag piles and boxes of 556. "Come get your share, boy. Shit might dry up soon." The text said.
Profuns family is gud family.
>>30260687
Tell them they are radical Islamic sympathizers and report them o suspicious of terroristic activities to your nearest police station or send off a tip to the FBI.
Fuck your family they should have their arms and legs broken and fed to fire ants alive for being psychopaths like that.
But no seriously though just accuse them of sympathizing the radical Islamic movement and report them of terroristic activities.
That is shit. My family is so-so my father is all for them so are off of my uncles and both grand fathers. A lot of military in my family. My kid sister asked if I was a terrorist I told her no and she should come with me to shoot sometime she seems very excited. Her half ass wop of a father would be a bitch though.
>>30260711
I told them I don't agree with their opinions, but I'd protect them if need be.
My auntie said "if you're willing to kill anybody at all, you're part of the problem."
30 minutes later she also said "Why couldn't have this happened at a Trump rally? At least he would've done something useful instead of killing innocents."
>>30260729
Worst part is my family is mainly ex-mil or LEO. So they think they're automatically experts on all things gun-related.
>>30260687
My family bemoans the fact that they're so expensive, but I can't seem to get it through their heads that the 90s are dead and money isn't worth shit anymore.
>"You spent a grand? On a 308? I'd never spend that much on a rifle"
>"What about that Browning BAR?" (The hunting rifle, not the mil one)
Still haven't gotten a response out of him on that one. He also owns a Thompson center contender, a Benelli SBE II, some Benelli I can't remember the model of that was imported by HK...
>>30260723
Lucky bastard, I'm glad you have people that care.
>>30260715
I'm working on it. I had to drop-out of high school because of medical issues, despite being on track to Cornell. I just finished my GED and I'm waiting on my SAT/ACT scores to come back. Once I get them back, I have a few essays/papers prepared for applying at colleges and universities. I planned to apply to Texas A&M for mechanical or petroleum\biochemical engineering.
>>30260687
My mother absolutely hates it, calls me crazy on a regular basis. My father likes guns but is kind of a fudd. Doesn't like ARs etc.
Everyone in my extended family is vehemently antigun. no one has disowned me yet though.
>Does it get worse around mass shootings and terrorist attacks?
My aunt loves posting on facebook about this shit.

I know HK imported all the Benelli M-models. M1, M2, M3, and M4. They also imported some FABRAM shotguns as well.
My dad just bought a PPS for my mom, who decided to join us in the CCW club. We're going shooting on father's day.
>>30260787
Start attacking the commies in your family and pointing out how they are wrong.
>>30260741
What's with liberals and wanting violence against the people they don't like?
>>30260687
Dad is awesome pro gun, don't have anything crazy though as we poor and no land to shoot but w/e
Mom was/is imo crazy anti gun (cause shes basically against semi autos)
but it seems like she's one of the few that realized the orlando shooter was a licenced security guard who went through several screenings, i pointed out he could have easily gotten it job related, pointed out Wa naval yard was a pump gun, SHOULD have mentioned Ft Hood. I don't expect to completely turn her, but I'll keep reminding her they could just as easily have bombed/arsoned a place and "mass shootings" are extremely far down the list of how people are killed

There's no hope for her now, Travis. She's suffering. You know we've got to do it.

It's called a joke, anon. Sometimes people tell shitty jokes so they can voice an unpopular opinion that they know they wouldn't follow through on.

This.
Except my dad was absentee for the most part, and is a pussy who thinks guns are just scary machines that make your ears ring when they go off. Asked me why I need guns. Literally need them for my career.

Gotta take the good with the bad I suppose. At least I have memories of building baby's first AR with my pops and the SKS he handed down to me, plus the 4 generation old family .22
Mother wouldn't allow me even a fucking air rifle. Turned 18, joined a shooting club and bought myself a .22 rifle & pistol.
Dad is cool about it, took him shooting. It's just not in his interest.
Brother sees no point in buying weapons :" You already have enough stuff for a small army- I'm going to use the back-up of your back-up."
( We live in the same house)
Huge parts of the family are leftist dumbfucks.
Blaaa weapons are only good for murderers etc.
Typical bullshit.
Have about 15 cousins. Most of the males are useless. The only ones which took interest are twin girls at the age of 14.
Their mother is totally against funs ( liberal teacher...) , but the two can keep their mouth shut and train them with .22s.
Nothing can replace male best friends/shooting buddies/ hunting buddies.

Mom wanted a p226 threaded scorpion for her birthday. Bought her a rem 870 pump for mothers day. Old man wants me to find him an ar before the end of the month.
You have to decide if your family or guns are more important. And guns are more important. I am in no way kidding.
>>30261245
Why not just keep guns and not tell your family if they're faggots about it?
They don't argue with me about my life. Last time they tried I didn't talk to them for 4 months. No returned calls or texts, no visits, nothing.
Both my parents own guns and I own guns
So, they're pretty positive about it
>>30260845
She wasn't joking. She even threatened to kill Trump supporters on her Twitter.
>>30261245
Given how they treated me off-and-on in the past, I just see this as the strawthat broke the camel's back. Back then, I didn't want to say anything since I was underageb& and lived with my entire family. Now that I'm on my own, I pretty much milked them for what I could one last time and left. Thanks to them, I have a free car and phone. They even gave me $10k to get started with an apartment, clothes, find a job, etc. I lived like a frugal jew and have been spending that money on guns and car modifications.

>>30260687
This happened to me after sandyhook. So its smooth sailing for me. Got rid of fb, and other social media, dont go to family functions. And have been with a country girl with an extremely pro gun family for 10 years now. Family is what you make it.
My family has never had a problem with my guns being in the house, but that's probably because I don't own any guns.
>>30260687
The more I read stuff like this, the more I think people are legitimately scared of me. I was hanging out with some outspoken anti-gun fags yesterday (they're my friends and it's my birthday, we had a get together) and only one of them said something about Orlando, and suggested harsher laws regulating the purchase of firearms. I told him that it wouldn't make much of a difference, as Omar bought his guns legally, was a US citizen, and had no criminal background, he'd have just waited a few more days to shoot up a club. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but he kind of drew up, paused, and said, "Well, maybe you're right anon," and changed the subject. A guy that posts a bunch of crazy, outspoken shit constantly, mind you. I've been thinking about it and I've noticed it's a trend. Most of my friends are hesitant to disagree with me, or even discuss politics or anything like that.
How common is the reaction in OP's post then? I'm not an angry guy, ex-mil, work in a bank now, own a healthy collection of guns, don't wear flag patches or moto shirts, don't broadcast that I carry. Do people commonly react the way OP's family did, or is it more of an exception? Because now I'm legitimately worried that my friends are scared of me, I don't want to be that guy. I like debating and calm, rational discourse, won't engage in mud slinging, buzzwords or sensationalist arguments.
Am I the "crazy disgruntled Iraqi war vet" /k/?

Damn straight.

>mfw
>Dad
Conservative, swears by Fuddy-Five ACP, all but one of his guns has wood furniture. Only owns two self loaders, a ruger 10-22 and a Colt 1991a1 commander
>Mom
Left-Of-Center, doesn't see the need for semi-automatic weapons at all, but loves big bore revolvers
>Sister
Typical white liberal teen, hates shooting but loves taking self-esteem with guns for facebook
>Dad: Indifferent, slightly positive since hunting gets me out into nature. If not for my mother, I might be able to get him into it one day.
>Mom: Literal hoplophobia. Wouldn't even touch the air rifle I bought and wasn't happy with me having even that in the house. She can't even put her fear really into words other than "it makes us less safe and it's dangerous".
It's really the textbook definition of a phobia.
Since I became a hunter and acquired an actual gun license (feels Euro, man) she absolutely wouldn't have my gun safe in the house, which I have to respect. Now that's at a fellow hunters', my guns are afew minutes away but I still have my own and I'll move out in the near future.
Could be better, but also a lot worse.
>>30260845
All "liberals" I know will tell this same joke. Pretty much almost verbatim, the punchline is always the same about people they disagree with politically.
Same shitty joke, it's like they go to a conference just to memorize this joke and repeat it every time a political discussion comes up.
>>30261138
When they keep saying this every damn time with every political discussion, that just seems to be way more than just a joke.
>>30260844
This
My dad used to hunt a lot before he met my mother.
he stopped a few years into his marriage with her.
for my 18th, i bought myself a wasr10 and took him shooting with me
less than a year later he asked me about ARs and the like
shortly after that he had me organize a list of parts and build one for him.
going shooting with him is the most i've interacted with him in my life. he was a busy man and spent 12+ hours a day working all my childhood.
my mom, sadly, is a mindless progressive with vehement support of hate-speech regulation and gun bans and Hillery. oh well, i still love her.
>Dad liked guns, but never really "got" military-style firearms
>believed that the epitome of firearms shooting is a good bolt action .30-06, an M1 Garand, or a pump action .22 (when he was younger)
>was rather disturbed that growing up we were so "enamored" with military-style firearms
>a few years back finally save up the scratch to get an AK (WASR-10)
>he scoffs at the idea of his own son having a "commie gun"
>take him shooting
>his face
He loves it for how wonderful it shoots, but hates it for its origins. I need to get him an AR so he can MURICA to his heart's content.
>>30261364
Your father is a faggot and you share his faggot genes. Kill him then yourself you subhuman
>>30260687
Was the same and it's slow to turn over your family to guns and when shot like this happens it's even harder.
Least my wife agrees with me on guns and we will teach our kids. Anon your in good hands with us , because when all else fails were here.
My brother is very pro gun, owns maybe 20 fewer than me. My dad owns a single shot 20 gauge that my brother and I got him for his birthday one year. Otherwise they probably don't see much need for them but they aren't against them as far as I'm aware. My dad will go to range gatherings with my friends and I but usually won't shoot. I'm sure they think I waste too much money.
As far as extended family, I don't talk to them enough to know. I've got a pro gun uncle but he just laughs and shakes his head after I tell him how much I paid for a gun (he always asks). He has a few, mainly hunts and has his carry permit. His brother is pro gun and pretty much a communist, I have much respect for his brother though.
I do have some anti's in the family but I only see them at funerals.

Anon, pls.
>>30261564
Most antis tends to hang out in an echo chamber. They just parrot what they read on FB, Tumblr and other anti-gun outlet. Bet that dude you talked to doesn't realized much of what you told him. Bet his go to arguments consists of more background check and banning stuff.
>>30261840
He didn't argue with me is the point. Hardly anyone aside from my wife does, and she'll tell you that we don't have "fights" because when shit gets too heated I make us stop and come back later. I don't really care to rip apart some bullshit that antis come up with, but I like to debate. I think they're too scared to voice their opinions, and it bothers me a little.
And, no, he had no idea that Omar bought his gun completely legally from a gun store. The thought never occurred to him I'll bet.
>>30260687
this is why I don't tell anyone or put stupid NRA bumper stickers on my car. there is 0 benefit to doing so and only negatives.
I don't need my house broken into and robbed or someone keying my car because of a bumper sticker. when people say guns are evil I just smile and nod but I will usually point out incorrect statistics and show it to their face with my phone if they press the issues. converts more people than talking about the morality or entitlements, anyways.
>Dad: Cop and Air Force vet. Has a few guns, mostly Glocks b/c that's his duty weapon
>Mom: Has no guns, but likes shooting them and believes in the right to carry. Trying to convince her to get a license.

That's all of my family down here in Texas, the rest of my family is super pro gun. Great-grandpa has a two safes with a combined total of over 100 guns. ww2 vet, has shit ton of lever actions, semi autos, shotguns, and pistols. Builds his own ARs and owns 1 full-auto Thompson he brought back from Korea. Also has a Type 99 Arisaka. Lives in commiefornia, surprisingly.

My mom is pretty pro gun. Her husband isn't, since he's an aussie. My dad is sorta pro gun, he at least lets me keep my mauser at his house since i live on campus
>>30261866
Same. God bless Texas.
No one in my family cares one way or the other.
>>30260726
You are the kind of people that feed the anti-gun movement
At first they didn't like it, but now they're used to it.
>>30260726
Yeah, because if there's a psychopath in this situation it's certainly not you.
Did you lose your fathers in orlando or something OP? what a bunch kf faggots.
Both of my parents don't mind, and my mother wants me to teach her, so she can protect herself (she used to cite stories about how kids taught their parents to shoot and then their parents survived a home invasion or something), a bit more pro-fun. My father isn't into the idea of having guns personally, but does other security things (reinforced doors, better deadbolts, cameras/motion detectors, the sort) but towards me is generally supportive, as long as I practice proper storage. They primarily worry that I'll be lazy with my gun and then my future kid will accidentally off someone, due to me leaving legos out and about the house when I was a kid.
My extended family is pretty anti, but my immediate family is effectively estranged due to the extended family being a bunch of busybodies and nosy gossips.
>Both parents are Viet Nam war refugees
Wife is a center-left liberal who mostly hates guns because she associates them with her father, and that's never good.
I don't know if she'll ever be okay with semi-auto mag-fed weapons like a Glock or an AR, but she openly wants to try trap and skeet shooting.
My current goal is to feed her pinterest walls of classy British ladies in hunting gear, buy some land in a few years, convert her to a fudd, and see where we can go from there.
My entire family is pro gun. The ones who don't own aren't against.
Uncle buys unborn grandson bb gun for my cousins baby shower.
No, we are not white trash
>>30260687
My family doesn't care I own guns.
My mom is probably the worst but her thing is she just doesn't like being around them. Releasing slides or letting bolts slam home get her nerves racked which is understandable because she. She was little my grandfather had an ND in the room with her. All that said she thinks law abiding citizens should have guns, even ar15s and such.
My grandpa is based. Yeah he had an ND 35 years ago but he became very safety conscious because of it.
Me and him went hog hunting last Christmas as my birthday/Christmas present, we packed our pistols and took turns carrying the 45-70 Marlin (I carried it when he didn't need it lol like a good grandson)
My grandmother keeps a loaded 357 on her because "those damn Mexicans" she lives in Arizona as you can tell.
My brothers and sisters aren't quite old enough to have opinions but none are anti gun so that's a win.
Overall i think I'm lucky.
>>30260687
My family tells me to CC and buy more guns and ammo. I actually converted my parents into minor gun nuts a few years ago.

after orlando my mother told me she was happy I carried and wants me to bring her to the range now. I'm scared though because she is not exactly a model range buddy.
>>30262396
Teach her safety, then teach her etiquette. She's scared for her life right now, she's probably not going to be ordering bulk AR lowers anytime soon. Show her how to operate safely, run through some reaction drills (if your range allows) and encourage her to begin carrying.
Don't look at it as a trip to the range, look at it for what it is; a potential for you to teach your mother something that may save her life. She'll probably quit going after a few times anyways when the shock and outrage has died down.

But Anon, just because you can shoot a gun doesn't mean you aren't a dumbass. Just saying. You are 18. We've all been there. Relatively speaking, your self now is a dumbass compared to yourself later. When your brain is fully developed and you have more experience.
And they want to use their guns for something practical and fun. You are fantasizing about being an operator or something like a roof korean.
You could do that with a fudd gun. You'll probably just get your ass shot or beaten to death by a mob of niggers if you try and face them down on your own with ANY gun you can get.
You and a bunch of your good old boy Fudd family members with plain old deer rifles and Bair guns for dealing with big animals getting on you will wreck them.
STick with your folksy, down to earth family. Together you will own their patch of land if the world ends.
>>30260726
I agree with you 100%
>>30262511
I don't think i'm an operator and never have. I'm a pessimist by nature and don't treat myself to such fantasy. What I mean is that I can't have a simple conversation about anything without getting pic related as a reaction from the inlaws and other members of the family when they are around.

Those types tend to get all their information from sensationalist headlines and other types of disinformation. I've noticed vehement anti-gunners tend to shutdown when speaking to someone who a) knows what they're talking about and b) presents their facts in a calm and respectful manner. To sum it up, most people like that will only argue back if they're facing off with a literal fudd stereotype over the internet.
>>30262646
What the fuck are you talking about retard? quit shilling antman you moron. Get your head checked.
>>30260687
My mom was a crazy antigunner when I was a boy but years of living in New Hampshire have changed her. She and my dad both thought it was cool when I got my first gun.
>>30260687
Your family is driven by emotion and they have such shit handle on it, they would throw you out.
If real shit ever went down, you can bet your ass they will dump you if it meant their survival.
Maintain contact with them, but don't give up your views and beliefs in order to repair the bridge.
Cause they, for their son, sure as hell doesn't sound like they would.
>>30262827
Like I said before
Just report them for terroristic threats to the FBI and if that doesn't work then sneak in their home and break their arms and legs and dump jars full of fireants on them for double measures

Dad is getting more pro gun too, I just think he takes extra caution with me having them because I'm his son. He's not nuts about shooting on a count of his bad eye sight. He keeps a metal pellet gun for geese though. Debating buying him a shotgun or a pistol just for gigs.

It's called 30/30 in English.
Parents got divorced when I was 8 or so, lived with mom mostly. grew up on a few acres and mom would let all of us have bb guns and potato guns at a young age. Every day after school me and brothers would spend a couple hours farting around in the woods shooting shit with bb guns. first 22 at age 14 and first AK at 15. She isnt really against guns but doesnt like them personally. I cant even convince her to keep a simple revolver or shotgun tucked away in her home.
Dad never really liked guns at all. He's only been camping outside once in his life and when he goes fishing, its a charter where you just pick up a pole and reel it in while the mate does the rest.
younger brother was never really into guns. he had a few guns but probably never put more than a hundred rounds through any one. They're mine now because he lost his shit and went bat shit crazy for the better part of three months. no more guns for him.
older brother isnt anti gun but he's never fired a gun in his life, says he is afraid of them and why own one, when will you ever NEED it? not anti, but not pro.
Then there is me.
>>30260687
My dad doesn't care
Mom doesn't like guns but is okay with me owning guns because I'm not crazy. Doesn't agree with cc or OC though
Brother gets the sporting aspect of guns (hunting, trap, etc) but doesn't get why "assault" weapons are for sale
Sister likes guns despite being a progressive liberal
Uncle owns several nfa items, progun as fuck
Grampa is a fudd so no assault weapons
Aunt is a quaker so she is morally opposed to owning weapons
>>30262992
Similar situation with me, I have a brother with a learning disability so since they were extra concerned, my father offered to split the cost of the safe with me and help me secure it to the floor.
They also say I'm free to buy whatever is legal, but I always ask before I purchase because it's their house and I respect them.

Whatever makes you happy. Doesn't really care. Need to get him out to the range at least once.

My parents don't necessarily agree with my gun ownership and likely will never own one (I actually think my dad *shouldn't* own guns because he'd be irresponsible with them), but they aren't against it either because this is America.

>>30263632
>sunsetted in 2004
>trend continued 2005-11
>other studies show the AWB had no impact on gun crime whatsoever
no it does not.
>How does your family react to you having guns
The family members that do know about my guns either don't care or seem pretty positive about it.
Parents were both firearm owners in the past (most got sold off/given away around the time I was born though, which is a crying shame). Sister doesn't care for firearms, but doesn't see me or anyone else as a horrible menace for owning one.
Uncles and grandfather on dad's side were all island hicks who remember being able to pick up .22's at the local shop to kill varmint/cans/people's outdoor lighting with them, don't really mind me packing anything with more power.
Mums side of the family is on and off about it, but most are pretty cool with it due to her family having a huge history with sport shooting/hunting/enjoying guns in general. Grandmother on that side did sell off all of my grandfather's collection when he passed though (she didn't know what to do with them all, nobody on her side wanted them and my old man didn't have any room for it at the time. Again, crying shame).
So yeah, I'd say about 80% of them are positive with it, 19% couldn't care less one way or another, and 1% would despise me for it.
My parents are fine with guns, used to own some.
My brothers like guns, one of them thinks its pointless to own one. But he's been to college and has become a super liberal so I disregard his opinions on 90% of any topic
>>30263648

>>30263666

High-five for based fathers.
My old man has his demons, but it is painfully obvious where my absolute obsession with firearms and history comes from.

Sorry about you having a shit family bro, I'm kind of in the same boat, most of my mom's side of the family are ultra liberal.

You were having a rational discussion. When they meme like that, it's a lot like your average /pol/tard shitposting about gassing the Jews, they do it when they are working themselves into a froth and playing to an audience that expects extremist shit.
If the liberal never gets any exposure to dissent, the frothy meme-ing can become actual belief/strongly held positions, but that's the danger on an echo chamber (and one of the reasons I make a point to check the news at sources I disagree with).
>family member makes a blatantly anti-gun public post full of stupid
>call them out on it presenting facts with sources
I WAS ONLY JOKING ANON HAHA HEH... YOU BELIEVE ME RIGHT?
My dad has a shotgun, my mom has a small pistol for self defense and my older brother owns an AR-15 and two pistols. I'm too poor to buy a gun but I want to someday. My family all lives in the south and pretty much every relative I have is a pro-gun conservative.

Eh, my wife is full fucking cuck on shit like this, she'll never change, but I respect her right to that - I just ask that she respects my rights.
Oddly, my mom was most concerned about whether or not the gun could be traced to me when I mentioned I had one. I'm touched by her concern even if it was from a misunderstanding of how guns are purchased but that's still an odd thing to focus on first.

Both my parents come from either military or LEO families. They aren't pro-gun but at the same time they aren't ant-gun... mainly in the sense that they think some laws are stupid while others need to be reinforced.
My gf/potential waifu saw me browsing /k/ once (I'm a noguns fag until I get my gun license and buy an SKS, and even then I couldn't keep it in my apartment because it isn't safe so it would need to be kept at my mum's next to my stepdad's 30-30) and complained about "why do you like guns, you don't need a gun, that's so weird you could kill people etc etc".
I tried to explain but she wasn't having any of it and apparently I'm not allowed either guns OR swords. Neither is her dad, I blame her mother.
Anyway, is taking he shooting with my stepdad and his 30-30 a good idea to get her more comfortable around guns? I want to make sure I can live the way I want to, with guns n shieet, before I propose to her in the future.
>>30265466

There's nothing to get. It's not at intellectually honest argument. One is a medically procedure, the other is a hardware purchase. The poster just want a giggle about the idea of guys getting things shoved up their asses.

Most don't know about them. My wife is the only one that doesn't really like them and she wouldn't tell me to get rid of them. She deals because of how much they mean to me.

And as for shootings, they don't blame guns but the shooter (which can be mentally ill or manipulated or raging mad).
So yeah, if you have a shitty antigun family, just tell them to fuck theirselves, that's what I did to my brother when we talked about guns.

I also am familiar with this feeling.

>>30265850
as long as they protect my interests I don't care.
>>30265866
if private sale is illegal in your state then yeah, guns are kind of a poor use of money if you're strapped for cash.
for me in ohio, i can usually sell my gun for exactly what i paid for it, if not more, so they're a pretty good investment all things considered.
>>30265785
Fucking idiot. You'd think after maxing out one card you would have learned your lesson. And you really should t be buying bottled water at the gas station, you can get 24 for what they'll charge you for 6.
>>30265850
This.
I hate that our only lobby is money grubbing assholes. Guess the same can be said for unions though.
mom and dad both hated guns
got divorced
dad is super liberal hillary supporter
mom has slowly come around to the idea that guns are not as bad as they seemed and she waffles between being afraid of them because they can be dangerous and wanting to get one for her own protection
>>30260687
Someone wouldn't really do that, would they?
Just go on the internet and tell lies?

>>30265933
yea i did learn my lesson for awhile, being in debt doesnt particularly bother me, it sounds stupid but its just a fact of life for me now, its just another bill i have to pay, and once your used to having that bill you dont think much about it. Should I have went out and spent $300 on a gun on my close to maxxed out card? no probably not. on a side note i actually dont buy water at gas station, it'd probably actually be a powerade or something i was just throwing example out there

My family is kind of odd. All die-hard conservatives, but mixed on guns. Mom wants a revolver, thinks guns are great. Dad supports gun rights but doesn't really like them personally. Nothing against that, just interesting.
Siblings either don't care or are somewhat impressed with my collection, and I only have 4.
This thread is mildly related to a question I've been thinking over for a while.
I live alone in an apartment so no worries about angry mothers (although I'm sure she would be) but I have no idea what my landlord would think if she found a bunch of guns and ammo in my closet. I have no reason to suspect she's ever entered my apartment without asking a few days in advance, but theres always a chance.
I don't think buying a safe is an option since I don't have the room for it, am on the top floor of my building, and wouldn't be able to sneak it in on the off chance they do care. When I buy a house (hopefully with some land for shooting but >finding land that isn't cropland in Iowa) I want to put in some of those tacticool walls and such but I don't want to go knocking holes in walls that aren't mine.
What do? Chain them to a bedframe or something?
>>30266266
idk about Iowa, but in MN, your landlord has no say whether you can have firearms in your unit, due to it being a constitutional right.
Look into those braid type locks that snake through the chamber, most are long enough to chain them to something else.
>>30266266
I don't think it's legal for a landlord to enter a private residence without warning.
Also, this reminds me, I left my AR in the trunk.
>>30266189
>added last minute by a nigger demoshit and didn't get a proper vote count
nice try you liberal cunt
>>30266367
NRA endorses it you fucking cuck.
It was snuck through, subverting the process of legislature, and the NRA did nothing.
>>30266305
Considering in Iowa "no guns allowed on premises" signs don't hold any legal weight, I'm sure it's fine. I'm only planning on staying here until my lease is up in a year or maybe one more after that depending on what kind of land it's looking like I'll be able to afford.
It's more of if they just flip out over it and won't let me resign the lease should I want to stay another year. I got damn lucky with this apartment since it's cheap and near stores but on the side of town that doesn't have transplanted Chicagoan refugees shooting at each other 2/3 times a week.
>>30266322
It's more if they just enter by accident desu. When I was getting my tour of the place they almost opened the door to an occupied apartment by mistake. Once or twice I've given them permission to enter for some maintenance work and just wouldn't want the guy to get too nosy or need to check the closet for some reason and see an AR just sitting there.
>>30266409
They mostly likely won't care. Remember that you're in Iowa of all states. Just make sure you're not smoking pot in there all of the time.
>>30265176
>>30265307
posts like these make me sick
I don't understand why men throw away or have to hide their hobbies, or sacrifice things they like just for a woman. I really just don't get it.
>>30266442
>second post link talking about converting anti-funs
You are the problem with the gun community.
>>30266432
>Remember that you're in Iowa of all states
I'm not sure if you're implying that's a good thing or a bad thing. It's becoming more and more liberal (we're projected to vote for Killary...) but the gun laws aren't as restrictive as in some neighboring states.Getting my ccw permit was easy as shit.
And I like my lung capacity too much to smoke anything, be it tobacco pot or dick.
Dad just bought me a Kahr CW40.
Mom supports carrying but doesn't do it herself. Good excuse to buy handguns and say its for her. Try to get her to carry a revolver in her purse.
Grandma is a hard core super liberal who shot a hole in her water bed while drunk. Somewhat likes guns.
Grandpa hunts, dont get to hang out much. Luckily a fudd.
>>30266466
And the other post about some guy "needing permission" from his gf about owning guns.

>NRA endorses it you fucking cuck.
because FOPA as a whole does a fuckton of good things for gunowners.
there wasn't not much that could be done about the Hughes amendment now or then you stupid /pol/ fuck
>>30260687
It's pretty much remained the same, nobody cares. If they didn't like it and didn't want me around, then good riddance.
gotta keep those squares out your circle.
just my 2 cents.
>>30260687
You don't need them anyhow OP, sounds like they did you a favor by purging them selves out of your life. It's better this way.
And for my own family
>mom is on the fence about guns, but used to go shooting with my dad when they were still married
>mom asks me why I need an Ar
>cause it's fun and niggers are bad mom
>mom hates blacks, browns, and muslims so she accepts this argument as valid
>dad lives in hawaii
>loves guns and would browse /k/ if he didn't hate computers (he only recently figured out how to youtube on his new smart phone because I send him links to shooting videos)
>constantly tells me how my commiefornia gun/self defense laws are better than the island's
>wishes he murdered my cheating whore mother and lived closer to me so we could go shooting
>he also spray painted his new york arms 1911 black because his nice silver finish wasn't tacticool enough

>grandma is an alzheimers ridden vegetable who also hated niggers before she turned into a ghoul
I suppose my family is alright
>pic related, one of my dad's favorite movies to watch with me as a child
>>30260687
My girlfriend was afraid of my guns but because of my passion for guns, now gets annoyed at all the parroting and asked me what we could do to support gun rights. Jesus I love her crazy ass.
My parents used to be wary, not as I'm I'd do something, but they didn't want my coworkers knowing and freaking out.my mom calmed down and loves my guns now, decent shot with my 22 even though she can't fix her weird lean. My dad keeps debating gun control with me as if I give a shit though, which is why he thinks I only have two guns.
>>30260687
I have been assimilating my family to guns since I was a boy of 15. At this point I am no longer harassed for having "big fucking killing assault guns" and life has been good.
>>30266656
They could have kicked a stink about it and returned the bill to the house.
>>30260687
Dad: owns some guns just because its more of an investment in his eyes, he does the ritual opening weekend deer hunt and thats mostly it. despite his "investment" collection.
Mom: Owns a shotgun because she decided she would like to turkey hunt.
My brother and i on the other hand.... its a bit of an arms race.....and im in the lead so far.
I come from a big hunting family on both sides though so its to be expected.

My brother loves guns just as much as I do. We go shooting together weekly. My mom was very resistant to the idea at first, but took us up on the open invitation to join one day. She had fun, but wasn't interested in doing it regularly. My dad has no interest in guns, but really enjoys helping when I work on my old revolver or watching when I hand load.
>>30260687
Family of non shooters here. 17 y/o and ask Mom and Dad for rifle and constantly shot down. Finally based grandma buys me a Mosin back when they were still <100. That was 4 years and now there are 12 guns in the house and all but two are mine (bought little brother a .22 rifle and .38 S&W mod 10 and now he's the only one who shoots with me).
Dad asked me about buying a handgun for self defense a while back and I just instinctively told him Glock 19. Still waiting to see if he follows through on that.
>>30266967

>>30260687
God damn your family is a bunch of overreacting sperglords. Reading that made my stomach hurt.
Completely write them off, give it a year, see how they act. They'll change their tune, at which point you can continue to ignore them. Not much can be worse than when your own child writes you off.

My mom told me that no one needs an asalt weapon. I asked her what the difference between an asalt weaponand a regualr gun. She responded that truno wouldnt have said anything if omar was a white guy.
It hurts guys.
And all i have is a cheap mossberg
> dad and brother are both very pro gun, though they are also very pro police, thin blue line and all that jazz, which isn't my cup of tea.
> sister is a super duper hippie/vegan/ self proclaimed SJW, but also really dislikes cops and the man, and says that guns are the only equalizer we have against them.
> Mom doesn't really give a shit either way, and thinks guns are silly "boy toys", but is a fucking crack shot. And can easily out shoot me with a .22
>>30260687
A lot of my family is pretty right wing and are fine with guns. My mom is very liberal (as am I in most cases) but she doesn't flip her lid over one shooting. She kind of has her typical liberal fear of guns and wants nothing to do with them but she's able to deal with me having guns.
I saw a guy come into scheels today and bought a marlin for all 3 of his kids. The oldest was like 9. It hurt that my dad doesnt do shouldnt things like this for my siblings or me.
>>30260687

>Mom wants a carry piece, but won't get one b/c her hands are too weak to rack a slide (she has a very severe case of MS) and doesn't feel safe carrying a revolver, but is bretty pro-gun

>Bro and sis, both younger, indifferent about guns. They don't see them as anything more than a hobby
>Grandparents on both sides are fudd as fuck, only own 22s or pump shotguns, but don't care about me owning guns.
>Only surviving aunt and uncle, on dad's side, have mixed opinions. Aunt used to be a full-blown hippie and consistently votes Dem, but she loves me enough to even feign interest in my guns. Uncle served in the RAF during the Cold War, moved to Canada and then to here (TN) with my aunt. Hates Slavshit of any kind, and doesn't particularly like firearms, but won't discuss them with me because he thinks that mine and his opinions on the matter differ too much, and might lead to a falling out if discussed. Total bro-tier tho. Both are avid PC gamers, and they give me all their old shit when they get new stuff. Both full time workers with no kids, so they have a lot of money to throw around.
