I mean yeah, funny greentext, fake and gay and all, but is that an actual thing that happens across the big pond?
If someone did that in Europe they'd be in serious legal trouble if the threatened party sues.
Sounds legal overall for America. "Brandishing" is generally illegal, i.e pulling out your gun and pointing it at or actively threatening someone with it, regardless if you fire it.
Pulling out your legal gun in your home and setting it flat on your table? Hard to argue it was a threatening without a stated threat or some other action. It may have been one, but id be suprised if anyone would arrest someone over that.
OP pulling his own gun does make this a hilarious and potentially deadly situation. It's very possible the father is a scared pissbaby and just starts blasting.
Yeah, I was gonna say we're past the point of legality being the biggest concern in that situation.
Either way that guy is not coming to my wedding
So, what do we Europeans whip out and place on the coffee table to make a statement?
GDPR pocket books
Data protection regulation for dummies I'm assuming? Mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht.
GDPR for Dummies. GDPR is DSGVO in German, "Datenschutz-Grundverordnung".
Cock
Spotted dick
No way, that's only after the 5th family date
Nah the second one is in a sauna
And too obvious and not specific to European c***.
A bottle of wine. Good wine preferably.
Health insurance policies
Hmm, you'd think that. But actually health insurance works here. It's nothing to brag about. I rarely hear people talking about it. At least not more than they talk about their households contents insurance. (I mean guns in the USA also aren't something exceptional... so you might have a point.)
Nah guns are more like dutch bicycles. Yes we all have several, but each is important and must be talked about
I'm sure people who have good health insurance in the US don't see it as an issue. But what about all the others?
Beans on toast.
I severely doubt English degeneracy reflects anywhere else in Europe.
Haha. Good point. Universal healthcare then?
Barftastic
Yes. Unless it's done well.
A cheese wheel?
Water pistols. (Optionally modified to shoot liquid nitrogen)
While it sounds badass "shooting" liquid nitrogen is in fact quite useless. Source: i had liquid nitrogen poured over my hands at room temp. It just feels like cold water as it quickly evaporates before actually touching it.
See video for example and when it acts different.

It's not meant to cause too much damage. If I wanted that I'd attach a match to the front and shoot fuel instead but that sounds even less legal.
Knives?
Never had someone point a gun at me like that, but I dated a girl in college that had a dickhead 2nd amendment gun nut dad who never missed an opportunity to mention he had guns and wasn't afraid to use them if I "didn't take good care of his daughter." It didn't intimidate me in the slightest though, and just let me know he was a scared, insecure loser.
I had just finished my range day and I had my guns stripped for cleaning when my step daughter dropped of my son for his weekend visit with her boyfriend.
I wasn't trying to flex or anything, but I did find it funny. Luckily she married a different guy after college.
"Step daughter dropped of my son" has a real Alabama vibe.
I literally don't understand the relationships in his comment. I simply can't get my head around it
OP (dad), married a woman and accepted her daughter into the family, making her his stepdaughter. We'll call her Drake. Dad already had a son from a previous marriage. We'll call the son Josh. Drake and Josh became close stepsiblings. Drake started dating a boy, who we'll call Freddy. Drake introduced Freddy to Josh, and they hang out every week at Josh's place to play Overwatch. Drake brought Freddy to her house, where dad was cleaning his guns, just in time for Freddy to walk past on his way to Josh's room.
It's really funny that you've chosen a male name for the only female character
If you open up your mind
See what's inside
Lemme know if you figure it out, I've read his comment about 12× and still scratching my head.
OP's step daughter and her boyfriend came over to drop off OP's son for his weekend visit.
Woman has daughter. Woman marries man. Man and woman have son. I guess man and woman break up? Son has weekly visits to man, daughter of woman brings son to man. Or maybe son goes to boarding school or something 🤷♂️
That is the reasonable explanation. If you want to imagine the situation with a banjo soundtrack nobody is stopping you.
Naw, no banjo. Was just super confused.
Your line of reasoning seems sound, let's just go with that until we hear from OP.
I think his stepdaughter, with her boyfriend, dropped off his son for the son's weekend visit with him (him being the commenter, the father).
It reads like his son was visiting his stepdaughter's boyfriend. Maybe it is that, but it'd be odd.
Just a few southern states, and outliers. But really, not so much now. It happened once when I was a kid and the dad was an asshole, so I married his daughter to spite him. Couple decades later and I regret that marriage and wish I would have went with my first instinct and asked if he wanted me to clean it because it was dirty.
This idiotic bullshit happens all over, it's just more concentrated in the South.
This happened to a friend of mine from the UK in fixing Minnesota. He had NO context for what was happening and almost shit his pants.
Isn't it tradition?
It's by dudes that claim to have fucked a lot of bitches in their early years. It's not as serious as it sounds. Well. The best part is reminding them of what they claim they did if they talk like that.
They almost never have their guns at work.
LOL no they wouldn't. Unless your kitchen has a camera, it'd be practically impossible to prove.
