Unless she is heiress to some giant fortune and you are her only child, do what you want.

Time to disappoint Mommy.
Tell her she needs to respect your right to defend yourself and your loved ones. |

Yes, but im stuck between respecting my mother/elders and knowing whats best for myself. I'm 50 and I've seen many "moms" and "dads" pull this manipulative stunt. Parents are either supportive of their adult kids decisions or not. We try to make a good influence but the disowning drama is BS. There are many things I don't like that my adult kids do. I tell them straight off they are fucking up and don't expect me to pull them out of the ditch if they screw up against my discretion. "Disowning" is the ultimate decision and you really can't never disown the kids. A kid would really have to fuck up for me to do that but I would never, never, never tell a kid that in order to influence their decision. If my kids wanted to do something I don't agree with, here is my way, "Kid. I do not/cannot agree with your (stupid) decision. If you decide to follow through with it I won't be there to bail your ass out and you alone will deal with the consequences although I still pay some of the price from your dumb decisions (or I will be the one left picking up your pieces you left behind). It will be your call. Good luck." I've already dealt with: motorcycle and the wreck, with no endorsement ridiculous tats USMC NJP from stupid tats and MC wreck getting girl PG, and she getting an abortion smoking now vaping. Not sure which one looks more retarded. credit cards and line of credit loans being out all night drinking heavily At 14 my mother passed away. By 23 I was a infantry squad leader and combat vet. I didn't have to worry about disowning parents because I was already 100% on my own. Obviously owning a gun isn't on that list. BTW, my son hides his MC from me. I showed him that I have a 35mm film canister full of granulated diamond sand just to put it in his MC crankcase. I won't disown him but I will destroy that bike when given a chance. |

Yes, but im stuck between respecting my mother/elders and knowing whats best for myself. your 18. your are a legal adult and and well past the age of accountability in the judeo/christian worldviews. your mother has crossed the line that falls between carring for a child, and trying to control an adult. buy the pistol, make a logical argument.. if your mother throws the "disown" card. simply make this statement. "mother, i love you, but you are trying to control me as an adult, if you choose to do this, you will never hear from me, you will never see my future wife, you will not be invited to our wedding, you will never see your grandchildren, and you will die alone and isolated. it is your decision, but if you make it, there is no going back" mothers are funny about the nuclear option. they only use it if they think they wont have to follow through. force them to follow through and they will back off. unless they are properly retarded. in that case, you don't need that kind of toxic relationship even if you are blood kin. edit: I have some limited experience with this in a different situation. mother in law was berating my wife about a credit card. I litterally ripped the phone away from my then crying wife and had this conversation my tone was nothing short of nuclear ME-"ENOUGH, you do not get to talk to MY WIFE, that way anymore" her- "put me back on the phone with (ms d_max) me-"No, your dealing with me now, you dont get to act this way any more~" -click- (she hung up on me) the next day the mother in law texted my wife to ask me if she had permission to call and talk to her. I waited an three hours (an eternity for the MIL) before allowing a speaker phoned call with me in the room. zero problems since. trust me, it works |

Everyone is asking why he told his mom....he didn't tell her.
He was asking for permission. |
|
If you want to impress your mother, and become smart enough to take over a company, be smarter about the subject then she is.......Show her all the asset's in owning a firearm and the negatives when you don't. Let her know you are responsible enough to make that decision and responsible enough to own one. Remember though....she is your mom and only want's to protect you and she thinks they're too dangerous. So respond like an adult.

Does your mom have to fill out the 4473 for you?
If not,why would it be an issue? |

Oh this will be good Quoted:
I purchase a pistol... I am of legal age and living on my own.. Her logic is that pistols are used only in the killing of people.. what would GD do? No pics of mother. Buy a pistol and mail her the target after you get it sighted in. Make sure you write a "Thanks for being a great mother, love you mom" letter. Post her reaction here. |
|
|
"You're right. The purpose of my pistol is to kill someone, if, God forbid, someone should ever try to kill me or those I love, including you. I'd die before I let anything happen to those I love. I'd kill before I let anything happen to those I love. That is a burden I am willing to live with if it should ever come to that and believe me, I pray every day that it doesn't."

If you make your own money like you said you do, there should be no need for this to be dangling over your head. |
|
If you are of age and work, you can buy whatever you want. Many people don't talk about their guns to non-gun folks, so keep quiet. Heck, I just found another coworker who shoots and we have worked together for years. Now, we talk firearms. As well, my husband doesn't like guns, but I have 5 pistols, and an AR on the way. When one of my boxes of ammo or mags arrives on my doorstep, he just dumps it in the closet with the rest of it muttering something about me waiting for Armageddon. I just smile and go about my business.
LoL, buy 2. You won't stop at one, anyway. |
|
I guess the first thing you need to learn, is to not run your piehole so much around Mommy Dearest.. Want to be a man? Fucking act like one. You don't need anyones permission to buy anything.

From this thread, I've learned that there is a widow in MN who has an adult son, owns a successful company, and absolutely does not have a gun in her home to defend herself.
|
|
Tell your mom that if only all killing were wrong would a gun made for killing be illegitimate.
|
|
Odd. My mother was originally from MN, and she always gave me good advise (most of the time).
Do you have a rifle yet? Gun safe? You're a grown ass man OP; do what you need to do. You can love and respect your Mom; but you got to do what you feel you have to do. Your life. Your choices. And she doesn't need to know everything you do. (not to be an ass; but is Mom going to make the bad man go away if he comes to you in the middle of the night?) btw my 15 y/o killed a rattlesnake this morning with a pistol (and it's not his first rattlesnake) |

1. Buy handgun
2. Enjoy handgun. 3. Don't tell mommy. 4. ??????? 5. Profit. |

Should we start a pool on which banned member this is? Or how long it will be until the ban?
