Parent's are holding my ammo and bolts in an undisclosed location because they don't feel "safe". Who has various studies and documents so I can show them they are wrong. I'm regretting moving back in with them... |
|
Are they frightened of weapons in general, or just frightened of YOU with weapons? If they're frightened of you there must be a reason. What have you done in the past to give them an idea that you can't be trusted with weapons? Why are you moving back in with them in the first place? |
+1! Time to spread your wings little sparrow. I have to say that I believe if you are over 18 and unable/unwilling to live on your own then you probably aren't quite ready to own firearms without supervision. 
|
I can't help you out on the literature but it sounds like the only mistake you have made is to move back in with your parents and then wonder why they are making you live by their rules... |
Yep, they're older and probably the typical Fla Q-tip driver. IE pull out THEN look. Unsafe for them and others. Seriously, did they ask you to move down there and in with them or was it your idea? |
|
Perhaps a silly question but................ Did you have a bunch of unsecured guns and ammo laying around like old socks? Cause if you did, I'd do something about locking them up too. I'm 37 and you won't find an unsecured weapon in my house unless it's on my person. Why? Cause it's just smart. At least now they're not usable by you, random houseguests or the occasional burglar. Now if they were in a safe or at a minimum trigger locked and out of sight with the keys secured someplace, well that's a different story. Try this, instead of bitching about it here like a six year old, sit down and DISCUSS it with your parents like an adult. |
That has jack and/or shit to do with anything. It's THEIR house. Embrace adulthood, move the fuck out and stand on your own two feets... |
They asked me. Nothing was going anywhere in Kansas so I said sure. ETA: My rifles are locked in my closet and have action locks. Ammo is stored in my dresser. |
|
Seeing as this is an AR15 board I assume you have an AR. Get another BCG and start buying more ammo when you get the chance. Just don't tell em'. Keep your AR locked up to something that doesn't move and the BCG in your control. Does your car have a trunk? Keep the BCG in there with the ammo and secure your keys so they can't get into it without your knowledge. |
atleast they didnt throw the stuff out and call the police on their son.. some parents are capable of that you can bet ... |
I dont think we have the whole story. how did they get the bolts and ammo. did they give you an actual reason why besides not feeling safe? are you on any medications, threatned suicide, or made threats to harm anyone? all legit questions. but if your answer is just "they just wanted to take them from me" then move out. they have problems |
| Why do they feel unsafe? Is it the weapons in general? Have you done something to worry them? Were the guns not secured? Why did they have access to your guns? You can pick up a steel "gun safe" (aka gun locker) for about $100. It's a cheap solution to keeping prying eyes/hands away from your guns. |
Or turn the "EEVIL GUNZ" in to the police. A friends batshit insane stepmother pulled that one on him. She damn near went to jail for it. She could not understand that "giving the police something that you have taken without the owner's consent is theft". |
Maybe you'd be more of a big boy if you did the research for yourself.

You have an issue that statistics won't solve. You need to sit down and ask your parents why they don't feel safe around you. And what specific actions of yours have led them to feel that way. And tell them straight to their faces that these are games to be played on 10 year old kids, and that you deeply resent this sort of passive-agressive crap. Barring that... then you don't feel safe with they way they drive, so keep the wheels off their car in an "undisclosed location" until you get your property back... then move with no forwarding address or phone. Edit: You could always buy replacements off of their credit card, which you have just as much of a right to as their rights to your property. Eye for an eye and all... |
