I just found out that my sister in law will not let me watch her kids because there's guns in the house. I think next time they want my wife to bring the kids over I'll say I don't trust your pit bull around my kids. That's it for me I'll never go to their house again.

Um, first world problems?

I have great relationships with my soon to be in laws.

Good response.  I like pitbulls alright, but that's a really good equivalency.  Plus, it'll probably hit her pretty hard cause pit bull owners tend to be a little fanatic

I get to listen to the MIL love for FHRC.

Eh, guess I'm lucky on that front.

Her parents died before we met, one of her brothers just got out of prison and she has nothing to do with him, and the other lives in KY and is a good guy, if chronically depressed and staggeringly unlucky.

You volunteered to watch kids?

This is an open/public forum.

I'm going to keep my mouth shut on this one

As time goes on my inlaws are shifting their positions to mine.

This year alone I've had cousins and uncles I have not spoken to in years call me and ask my opinion about "buying a gun".

Twenty years ago my father and I were the "gun totin' redneck hillbilly black sheep"... now we are the sages guiding others on the path.

I watch both my kids everyday. I really shouldn't say watch because I'm raising them, but yeah I like to socialize my kids with others.

I think the key words there might be "soon to be".

Report back in a few years.

My in-laws know I'm always armed.  Whether they like it or not, they accept it, because they love their daughter, and she chose to marry me; as such, it's never been an issue.

Some of her extended family... I just don't talk about it.  What they don't know won't hurt them.

Not at all equivalent, dogs can (and have) gone off with no warning.  Firearms need a human to pull the trigger.

When my kids socialize, the parents want to talk guns and that includes the women. You are doing it wrong and I have gotten a few into ccw and guns since they realise the first line if defense in the home is the home owner.

But yes my I laws are anti tards but the first thing they say is we are coming there if shtf, I say bring guns and ammo or you can't come.

So...you just got a blanket pass from EVAR having to babysit your SIL's screaming little wads?

You say that like it's a bad thing...

You weren't alone.  Maybe it were wishful thinking.

When I got my Thompson model 1928, I was just looking at it and enjoying the classic look of it.



My MIL walked by and said 'That looks wicked and ugly.'




I gave her a look of pure disdain and hate and she said 'I can just keep my opinion to myself?'




I said 'No, I was thinking - Look who's talking.'




That's not the primary reason I hate the old bitch but it sure added to it.

why do people keep writing that?

is it supposed to mean that you should not mention a problem unless it has to do with the basics of survival?

or does it mean that your problems don't matter because people in Africa are starving?
