1. Bad temper (deserved or not)
2. Glock in car
Nobody else sees a problem with this????
Easy there...no one said I was going to pop the kid. Do I get mad at crap like this? YUP!
Would I shoot someone over a Potato tot? Nope! Everything I have is legit...but you haven't been through some of the crap I have gone through so don't be so quick to pass judgement.
Let's see what you would do if someone threw a happy meal at you...I don't think you would feel like playing Ghandi.
Dude, you go easy. First off, I don't know you, or really anybody on this forum. But I have been a member about a year and recognize your posts immediately. I have always enjoyed them or learned something from them. You seem like a good guy. So, no offense.
Your post indicates specifically that you reacted in a hostile manner that you later somewhat regretted and you pretty much said you overreacted but felt good about it. Would I do the same thing? Sure, why would you think I wouldn't? The issue is that with a gun handy, things have the capacity to get out of hand. I know plenty of 18 year olds twice my size (and I ain't no five feet). A few of them get out of the car, get a crowbar out of the trunk, start pushing you around, or hassling your wife--you'd go for the gun. That's why it's there, right? Maybe just to scare them, but again, things can get out of hand. So, in the end some kid gets killed and the bottom line is it's over some Potato tots. You don't
think you'd shoot someone over this but sh*t happens. The fact that even you felt you lost it and overreacted tells me this
could happen. No one's saying it would, but if it even remotely
could it's a bad idea.
By the way, I own a gun so I am no liberal d*ck (Colt .45 Officer's ACP, combat grips and sights, used to have an AR-15 with telescope). I used to carry a gun in my car at all times, but have stopped doing so many years ago for reasons just like your incident. The risks are just not worth it. I am not sure how you know I have not been through the "crap you've been through", or worse. So maybe it's you that's quick to pass judgement here, not me.
Finally, I am Asian. That's an ethnicity. Indian is the correct nationality. Hindi would be the language. My girlfriend is Korean. She speaks Korean, like your wife. Nobody speaks "Asian". If she's not speaking to you, maybe she's got reasons beyond a language barrier or your temper.
