Your first mistake is marrying a soldier

also

He adamantly refuses to purchase or place his gun in a gun safe.

This guy wants to think he's John Wick but forgot that no one in charge trusts people like him to be armed 24/7, which is why they lock all the weapons up and do inventory before and after issuing them. John Wick was a marine, though, so maybe he's just living the crayon eating part of the character

John Wick was a marine

"People keep asking if I'm going to buy a lifted F-150 with 28% APR and marry a 19 year old I've known for a week and I haven't really had an answer, but yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to buy a lifted F-150 with 28% APR and marry a 19 year old I've known for a week."

and all john wick's guns were like buried in concrete in the basement, no?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, and look what happened! If he'd left a gun on the edge of every piece of furniture in the house instead, those guys would've never killed his dog.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Typical communist New York gun control 🤣

John Wick was a marine

American media's obsession with portraying Marines as some kind of elite soldier is fucking hilarious to me after reading Generation Kill and learning they're just drunk frat boys given guns and told to kill

They're possibly the least glamorous soldiers anywhere

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

You’d think the myth would’ve been shattered after seeing a mentally disturbed trainee becoming the Perfect Marine and shooting his drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket

Type of dude to refuse to wear a jimmy hat.

There's no way that, in the movie canon, John Wick was a marine. Come on, that's so lame. It's revealed in the second movie, I think, that John Wick was born in the USSR, trained from early childhood to be an assassin for the criminal syndicates that control the underworld. They don't need to say "he's badass because he was a marine." John Wick doesn't need that. Being a marine doesn't make the character more interesting, it makes him worse.

I looked it up and found a reddit post that claims one of his tattoos is a latin motto that is popular among marines, and also that the video game payday 2 claims he was one. I'm going to discount payday 2 because I doubt whoever wrote John Wick's blurb had access to whatever story bible the John Wick team has. As for the tatto, I mean, he is a soldier of fortune, but for the criminal underworld. It'd make sense for him to have a tattoo like that without ever having been in the military.

Also that reddit post, which speculates that John was discharged from the military for being mentally unstable, has this line: "Of course, John would never get to be a Marine if he had psychological issues before being in the army."

Anyway, here's my impression of Jarhead John being asked how he became the world's deadliest man:

"Hey John, is it true you incredible fighting ability is due to the fact that you were fostered by each of the world's most powerful crime syndicates, trained in their fighting styles, and then spent ten years with the secret, still extant Order of Assassins?"

"Oh, yeah, that was cool, but most of it came down to being yelled at by a guy in fatigues for a few months and then calling in airstrikes any time we heard a noise."

the move is to take the gun, put it in his mouth, and blow his brains out.

it's not gonna be a hard pitch to sell it as a suicide where you tried to stop him and there was a struggle.

that's a multiple homocide waiting to happen. honestly terrifying that we let these people participate in society, let alone carry firearms.

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 69 points 1 year ago

turns out the war criminal i married is a real asshole

Death to America

[–] D61@hexbear.net 58 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The two types of military veterans who do this, desk jockeys who feel they have something to prove because they weren't combat arms and deeply fucked up combat veterans who are broken in the brain.

I'd say, "she should get a divorce" but the dude would probably try to kill her.

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Itd be cool if she shot him tho

[–] POKEMONGOTOTHEGULAG@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want to live in a world where the child doesn't feel regret or grief in shooting this dumb asshole

The first thing that crossed my mind when I read this story. Lady, your daughter is suggesting that a very cool thing happen to your partner.

As a military wife she probably gets uprooted regularly and has no chance to ever build any sort of relationships with people off-base. It's never that simple.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

get daughter a nerf gun, train her to shoot at pictures of daddy

[–] disposable_cracker@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

That's a nice way to get a silver lining out of this fucked scenario.

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's true, but if this guy does this again (and he will, soon), and the daughter dies, the OP will absolutely go to jail too. For a very long time. Probably longer than if she blew the guys head off

Always have a safe, never leave a gun unattended and unlocked for any reason. All guns are loaded, that gun you just visually checked the chamber of is especially loaded.

[–] shath@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Never have a safe, always leave a gun unattended and unlocked for no reason. Don't worry about checking if the gun is loaded, it probably isn't. If you want to be sure, look down the barrel.

[–] ryepunk@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Always check the status of your gun with a few sky pops. Let God know fear for once.

Roving gangs of Mexican Isis cartels funded by the Chinese KGB are roving every suburb of America. It's a warzone out there and youl will get killed and eaten if you don't shoot first.

You are safest when your gun is as accessible to you as possibly which is why you should never lock it away or keep it hidden. You should always keep it loaded. Let your toddler play with the gun, it builds character and the sooner they get comfortable handling firearms, the sooner they can get their own and help keeping everyone safe.

my bolt action with the bolt and carrier removed is, in fact, loaded.

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One of my recurring nightmares is "I lost my gun!" I can't imagine actually leaving a loaded gun just sitting around by accident.

[–] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mister Evrart is helping me find my gun

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

I only lost my gun irl once, thank you very much! It happened to be right where I left it.

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

California makes someone criminally liable for keeping a firearm on his or her premises where he or she knows or reasonably should know a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or legal guardian, if the child does gain access and carries the firearm off the premises.

A person is also criminally liable for keeping a loaded firearm where he or she knows or reasonably should know that a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or guardian, if the child actually does gain access to the firearm and either carries it to a public place, brandishes it in a threatening manner, or if someone is injured as a result of the child gaining access to the firearm. The penalty imposed is significantly greater if someone dies or suffers great bodily injury as a result of the child gaining access to the firearm.

Moreover, a person is criminally liable for keeping any firearm, loaded or unloaded, on his or her premises where he or she knows or reasonably should know a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or legal guardian, if the child does gain access to it and carries the firearm to any preschool or school grades K-12 or to any school-sponsored event, activity, or performance.

Now I wonder what the laws in red states are about kids and criminally liability. My hunch is there's nothing.

NTA, the Founding Fathers fought and died so that you could have the freedom to leave loaded handguns around your personal domicile. Leftist authoritarians hate this, of course.

I have a few guns and specifically bought a safe as soon as my daughter was born for this exact reason. Dude is a fucking sociopath and I hope his toddler shoots him and no one else.

[–] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Well I hope this is a typical reddit-logo lie/fake story

These types of people are why I never go to gun ranges. I don't trust anyone else to handle a firearm safely
