I don't see that happening. Take note, even though I'm posting pics of some of my stuff in here, the magazines are out and they have been cleared and checked at least three times. That maeans they are unloaded and rendered safe. I figured if it's ok for Dad to shoot his computer, it has to be ok to show you some of my guns for completely safe entertainment purposes.
Sorry, I do not believe a weapon is unloaded, unless I pick it up and check it clear myself.
As for MY weapons, you can see them either at the range, or if it's required for me to use one to protect my home/family.

Always check, not once, not twice, but three times! That's the best thing you've written in this thread so far! I don't mind showing mine. It's proves I'm not some anti trying to get clever with you guys. I can answer just about any question any of you have. Be safe!
Since when has it become mandatory to pay offspring to perform household chores? Being part of a family has responsibilities, and the rewards for that duty are meals, a roof to sleep under, clothes, school, transportation, and all those things teenagers take for granted.
Since when does a parent not have the right to demand that a family member pull his/her own weight, and do so without writing a filthy-mouthed diatribe on a social media? Sometimes children need to learn that life is not always "fair", and that at many points in their lives they will be expected to perform duties without question or discussion, ...and just bite their tongue and go along.
Since parenting is not an exact science, many on this forum need to understand that they do not have all the answers, nor are not qualified to make a psychological evaluation based upon a few minute clip on the internet. No one knows the particulars of this event nor the participants involved. Some are making a mountain out of a molehill.
This is my favorite post. Who knows what goes on in their house, and what chain of prior events led her father to this point. There is no "one size fits all" answer when dealing with people, no matter the age. Anyone who claims to be able to get any person to respond the same way using the same methodology, is telling you a lie, end story, end thread, fail, etc.
IMO, that this video takes place on a farm or some sort of rural property, and involves use of a gun, only fuels airs of moral authority. If it was some well dressed soccer mom without a noticeable accent, delivering a similar message, then tossing her impudent, vile little brat's MacBook into the swimming pool, the reactions would be much more favorable.

Like I said...the average interpretation would be..."this is what you get for doing that". He's not disciplining his daughter. He's letting her know who's boss with a gun. He's also added her friends to the mix. Shoot up your daughter's computer and then demand she pay every dime back. Dad's a passive aggressive chickensh*t with balls the size of peas!
You have a bad habit of rambling about things that have nothing to do with the post you're replying to.
I wrote that he'd already talked with the police, and that they didn't have a problem with what he did. You replied with the above. WTF?
BTW, if you need to check your weapon three times to make sure it's clear, then there's something strange going on upstairs.

Again, doing chores and pulling weight is not the issue. It's the reaction that's the issue.
This whole righteous anger bs is nothing but bluster. He obviously had to spy on the girl's facebook account to get to the note. So, it's not like she was saying this stuff to his face. He wants to spy, that's fine. But his reaction was way off-base.

What the dad did was the definition of making a mountain out of a molehill.
