I have a laptop he can come shoot. While he is at it, there is desktop that never worked right, a few country and western CDs and the credit cards. he is welcome to shoot all those. Oh and that crappy digusting Thomas Kinkaide plate my neighbor gave me...I'll shoot that myself.
And his city's laws state that you cannot discharge a firearm within city limits and he lives outside of city limits, hence me saying he is lucky for living outside the city limits.

BAM!!
You made a generalized statement. Perhaps if, for once, you chose to post in complete sentences rather than your stream-of-consciousness texting we would all understand what you better. Perhaps if you had written " ...HE doesn't live inside HIS city's limits"? Yes. I think that would have worked better for you.
I'll ignore the BAM. Not particularly original in the context of the subject under discussion.
Update, Laptop-shooting dad makes up with daughter.
ALBEMARLE, N.C., March 7 (UPI) -- A North Carolina man who posted a video to YouTube depicting him shooting his teenage daughter's laptop computer said he and the girl have reconciled.
Tommy Jordan, who posted the 8-minute, 30-second clip on YouTube in early February, told NBC's "Today" show he and his daughter, Hannah Marie, 15, have made up since he shot her computer nine times with hollow-point bullets in retaliation for a profanity-laced Facebook post she wrote about her parents.
I PROBABLY would not have blown the laptop away....HOWEVER, a well place 12 pound sledge does wonders......either on the laptop or between darlin daughters eyes.
I was extremely impressed with this man, well the whole family after seeing the Today interview. I think Matt was too. Apparently his video struck a nerve in the hearts of parents worldwide as they received 3 times as many positive comments as they did negative ones.
It's all stunt to promote some parenting e-book of his I thought? AND this is a horrible example of parenting.

The guy is a do as I say, not as I do parent. No morning show plug piece will make me think any different. His actions spoke in spades about his mentality.
