(2,068 posts)He and my mother are rabid right wingers bordering on sovereign citizen territory. Anyway, he has a gun control problem. When my daughter was 8 yrs old, we had my mother and him attend our daughter's piano recital. Afterward, we went to eat at a fairly nice sit down restaurant. He takes his jacket off, dropping his Glock onto the tile floor from one of the jacket pockets. Stunned silence from everyone else in the place while he picked it back up and said ...ooops. At that moment I realized he had been packing the gun in the church where the recital was held! He hadn't taken his jacket off at the church.
Flash forward a few years. At my stepdaughter's wedding reception, he decides to get his gun out to show the people at his table! And just recently, maybe 2 months ago.... he LOSES his gun! It was in a gun case which he had placed on the side of his pickup truck's bed and drove down the road! Later he discovered he'd lost it! The gun was found along a road and turned into the police. Huge problem getting it back! It was turned over to the FBI and then he was all butt hurt about the guv-mint not respecting his property rights and returning it to him promptly. But what a friggin prime example of a person who should not be allowed near a firearm.
