My grandmother asked to "borrow" an SKS from my dad, which she then sent to be smuggled into Cuba to arm anti-Castro revolutionaries.

He told me they were locked up in the safe. I am, I do not know what. Beforehand he lost my LWRCi BCG and I had to call LWRC but they were good they sent me out one. I used to use LWRCi in my competitions. Do I just go off and buy a new one after I get home from my Drill next week and write this off as do not loan stuff to my dad if my Mom is Home? (99% of the time she is cleaning the house after my nephews mess it up) They were good to me so I cannot be too harsh when I was going thru my last Divorce and then my last Deployment they held all 200K of ammo and guns while I moved from Virginia to Alabama with a Deployment to Afghanistan then Iraq in 2021-2022. Good old number 8 deployment was a crazy. This is just a vent Buy him a gun and never, ever, loan your stuff to him. |

My mom backed her car into my brand new truck denting the front bumper pretty good a couple weeks after I drove the truck off the lot.
She came inside and told me when it happened. I shrugged it off and never brought it up. Looking back, I cant even remember how much of her shit I broke, lost, damaged when I was a kid. |

You should display your dominance by fucking his wife.
 Joking aside, he's your dad. If you love him, and your parents were good to you, your options are to suck it up, or quit loaning him stuff long term. In other words, if he borrows it for a class, he gives it back immediately afterwards. Option 2 is what I'd do because when he's gone, you're gonna miss him. I know I miss mine. |

Deduct it from the overhead cost of being a good son and drive on--and tell him jesus you're glad you didn't have a son like him. Then laugh.
And tell your mom--So apparently you owe me a couple gun parts. Will that be cash or check? |

So did you get back the $200,000 worth of gun-n-ammo, or did he lose it?

It just is odd because I dont know why I was so emotional after I got home. I will replace the BCG and get another charging handle. I just needed to vent so I never brought it back up. This is the GD safe space right? |

It’s tough watching our parents get silly and careless with old age. But it’ll happen to each of us, if we live long enough. It’s cheap lesson. Don’t lend him anything else dangerous. |

I remember when dad was younger (now deceased) but retired from the USAF he went to school for HVAC. Sometime after that when he was doing side jobs for friends working on cars and home AC systems I gifted him with a very expensive Snap On Freon sniffer.
It didn’t take him long to leave it on the roof or bumper of his truck and drive off losing it. He did the same thing with a very early Milwaukee battery screwdriver. He lost shit all the time. After I moved out I realized that all those tools he yelled at me for losing growing up were most likely lost by him. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By aftac: My parents only used a couple guns my Dad has his own but he is 70 and a retired fighter pilot / airline pilot and my Mom is basically raising two 5 year old twins because my brother and his wife are so coddling if my dad raises his voice to tell them no everyone attacks him. I let him use my M6A2 and this AR10 I built mainly because and he has my old S&W shield because his S&W M&P 9 was too big to carry on travel. Like people said it could be worse. Just was a vent session so I could get it out of my system without bringing it up later. Now my brother stealing my first Ranger Beret from my Dad that I gave my Dad for being a good Dad, and telling people at work it was his, now that is a different story. Your dad is a 70 year old fighter pilot / airline pilot cut him all the slack he needs, guys like that deserve a break anytime they need it. All those Gs and all that required drinking is hard on the brain. He now has to live a retired life of boredom and very little adrenaline. It sucks. go buy him a big bottle of scotch and an AR-10 of his own . He deserves it. And give your mom a big hug and something she really likes / wants for putting up with your dad's shit. |
