This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't think this is legal basically anywhere. In the US, this would be brandishing or threatening with a deadly weapon.

Yeah maybe. Doesn't seem to stop redneck fathers of teenage girls in conservative states. They consider it a rite of passage for fatherhood.

My FIL did a gun cleaning night when I was first taking his daughter out on dates. Had 3 guns disassembled on the kitchen table and let me know they'd be reassembled by the time I brought her home. He's a really nice guy, but yes, that shit is "normal" in the US

Back in my college days I was picking a GF up from her dads house and walked up to him sitting on the porch with a rifle in his lap. He was cool with me but it was still awkward. I was just like "......... shooting stuff?". "God damn squirrels won't stay out of my garden".
