  • "Nobody needs anything besides a [x] like me which I use for [y]"
  • Agrees with government carry permits and training requirements
  • No real gun owner uses a [z]
  • Agrees with background checks

I'm sure y'all have run across these types.

(y'know there could be a good meme in there somewhere)

Don't trust anyone but a second amendment absolutist

I wasn’t trying to play the sympathy or one up game.

Didn't think you were, partner. And 'thems what knows', also knows that "sympathy" is just a word that appears in the dictionary somewhere between "shit" and "syphilis". But sometimes you just gotta let the badger loose, and if not here, then where?

I learned long ago, first as a Soldier, then as a cop, then as a Border Patrol Agent, then as a Soldier again, and finally as a 'consultant', "seeing the elephant" changes you in ways that you don't even realize until you try to tell civilians about it. Then you see: 1) the completely blank lack of understanding in their eyes, and: 2) they start edging toward the exit.

So we stop talking to them, because our "normal" is not their "normal" and never will be.

Thanks.

I learned a long time ago not to bring it up.

My GF watches every true crime show and saying “this one time” really upsets/ depresses her, my story is worse then what we’re watching? lmao.

If I’m out and have had a few drinks and you tell me “one time this guy tried to grab me” to get your oppression/victim points I’ll tell you a real story until you walk away.

But I generally don’t think about it, it’s in the past and should stay there.

My normal for a person/their life is skewed, I know that much and people don’t understand that for any of us who’ve been places or done things.
