I have an arrangement with a former Marine. Big burly dude.
Should my life go sideways he is to come to my house and secure all my firearms and lock them away where they are inaccessible to me.
Well, today I did that for someone else.
Domestic life is in turmoil and finances are really kinda messed up. Funny how those things seem to come together as a pair.
Anyway, after a big blowup where things that shouldn't have been said were said at a volume that was way too high we were called in to intervene. We're not professionals but we know these people well enough to talk them both down. An hour of tears, recriminations and finger pointing finally exhausted them both and they talked to each other like people who actually want to make things work.
Crisis avoided for another day. It's not over but it's down to an ongoing conversation and we're on speed dial.
I walked him out to his car as he was going to bid a job so we could talk out of ear shot and I said, "Look, don't take this wrong, I don't think there's a bad bone in your body but I would feel better if you'd loan me your guns for awhile." We talked about emotions being high and breaking points and things that you truly can't take back. We went back inside and he gave me his guns and ammunition for safe keeping without an argument. The guns are now securely locked in my personal gun-safe and we've agreed that when jobs are found and the pressure is off I'll bring them back.
It takes a lot to face someone in situations like this and even more to broach the subject of possible harm. It's a delicate balance of offering help without seeming to accuse. The fact that everything went so quietly means that things would have probably been okay anyway but I feel better even if nobody else does. Ask any cop how they feel about domestic calls.
Don't know why I'm posting this. Maybe just bleeding off some emotion.

No, Dummy. That's not it. Good and decent people call it "desperately seeking approval".
Suckass.

Did you go to an FFL to arrange the transfer of firearms or did you break the law? Or doesn't it matter since you're friends and stuff?

I think if flaming lib were a true friend to this burly marine dude he would either toss them gunz into a very deep lake or have Hoyt/onehandle keep an eye (and trigger finger) on them until such time as he determines that burly is mentally capable to exercise his 2nd amendment rights.
But of course the whole story is one huge big lie so no matter.

You need a tampon for where you are bleeding DUmbass.

The DUmmie single-handedly cased the joint AND removed all weapons that could be used to fight it off.

I am picturing the reaction of my friends having to rent a U-haul to move all of my guns, reloading equipment and ammunition, they would be accusing me of tricking them into helping me move. :rotf:

Jim and Joe were friends for 50 years. One day Jim called the cops and told them Joe had a stash of marijuana hidden in his woodpile. The police showed up, found nothing and left.
Jim called Joe: Hey, did the police show up at your place?
"Yes"
"Did they chop up all your firewood looking for marijuana?
"Yes"
"Good. Happy birthday buddy"
"Thanks"

the OP is amazing to me. This is how liberals see gun owners: potential murderers the moment life lets them down.
I have a thing called self control. I will not turn into a raging maniac if I lose my job. A DUmmy who's destroyed his life with drugs and poor choices might, but I will not.
To the DUmmy. I am better than you. Do not make me equal to you and your pathetic weaknesses. I expect you will kill for emotional distress...I will only kill in self defense.

Yup. They don't trust themselves with guns, so nobody should have one.

Given that the, "a former Marine. Big burly dude," is utterly irrelevant to the :bouncy: - just a prop for DU-cred - I doubt the veracity of the :bouncy: story, beyond his friend having lost his job and/or having a rocky marriage.

Completely and .... yup, but then, we're all burly, knuckle dragging, neanderthal robots to them.
Don't know why I'm posting this.
Neither do we.

I'm not surprised that he has an arrangement with a big burly dude, especially since he has the word flaming in his screen name.

I'd be worried they'd get pawned for $

1. zero bongs
2. The DUchebag has no guns in any caliber bigger than .177.
3. The DUchebag does not know any burly man, Marine, or real man.
4. The DUchebag doesn't have the stones to go to another man's house, that has weapons, and then take them away. Hell, I don't think I have the stones to do that but I'm not a fool.
5. The DUchebag is thinking that it is OK to take away Constitutional rights with flimsy evidence. I believe this is called SWATTING.

You outed yourself as a liar in the first freakin' sentence,azzhole. :bird:
Ain't no such thing as a "Former" Marine!
Retired, yes. Inactive, yes. Former? F**k no.
The truth is probably closer to "I have an arrangement with the Stolen Valor guy who used to azz-rape me in prison. Big burly dude. And I liked it."
