Family not gun friendly

[Jomibe]

So much wrong with this situation.

Don't let anybody tell you how to run your life. **** em.
They are using the relationship to hold you hostage.
That's an adversarial relationship from the start.
If they can't deal with your happiness that's their problem and their loss.
They truly sound mentally unstable.

printcraft got it right on this one. It's your life. Don't hide yourself or what you're about. Your sister will get over it, and her husband sounds like a blowhard. Might as well rip the bandaid off, it's coming off one way or another.

You can't fix stupid..... You shouldn't even try. Just be who you are.

Ha, I can relate to the un-gun-friendly family but at least none are violently against it. Bunch of Chicago-mindset city dwellers. Luckily no raving BIL making threats, just a lot of dissapointed glares and quiet admonishment about what money is spent on and children's welfare (and a crapload of talk behind our backs about it because everyone's too non-confrontational about it to confront us about it). Heck, my wife's grandma was upset about the dangerous situation that there was a 10'x6'x1' Koy pond at the house we bought and the dangers of having our 1-year-old on the same property.

So: don't ask, don't tell. Anything not carried concealed is locked in a safe (In my case, ironically, in the closet of the bedroom they stay in), tools and paraphernalia are in there or a locking cabinet (in the same room. "It's just a workbench for when I don't want to go all the way out to the garage..." next to my wife's artsy stuff). Most of my or my wife's family would have a stroke if they knew but it's like carrying concealed: even if there's a little printing, most non-gun people don't see it, not knowing it is what it is. Never doubt the mind's ability to ignore what it doesn't know or doesn't want to know.

Lets go shooting.

Declare yourself a lone orphan and adopt a new gun friendly family.

You have been very inquisitive these days, Actaeon. Are you becoming a study of the unresolved?

I was looking for another thread, for an argument, or to answer someone.
And, I'm avoiding reality. INGO is much better.

He's probably spotted something shiny in the classifieds, trying to hit 50.......oh, wait......never mind.

 

[BugI02]

You mean the 50 post rule doesn't mean that the next time he wants to access the classys he would need 40050 posts?
