lololol facepalm XD dads amirite

but serious this is when you literally kick them in the shins and rub their face in the loaded gun to know they did bad, having a loaded weapon pointed at you isnt actually a joke, there is a chance of being killed like an idiot because you were not stern enough to make sure they understand they are doing something dangerous

at least you guys have dads

my father randomly brought me to a range one day when he was driving me home when i was a wee yung lad
first gun i shot was some .38 special revolver
my father taught me everything ik about guns

love that man

What's it like having a dad and not a sperm donor?
Fuck you OP.
The last time I went shooting with my "father" was four years ago and I paid for the entirety of the ammunition.
He still bitched about the price.

>brain tumor

Dude, we have to fucking talk about this.

Mine went the same way at the same age.

How long ago was this? I literally know three other guys who have had their fathers drop from brain tumors. Something fucky is going on. They all went out within a few years of each other. It bothered the shit out me, especially since there doesn't seem to be any correlation between them at all besides age (late 30's to early 40's).

My dad believes a lot of fuddlore but he's a good guy and I'm gradually warming him up to the idea of planning an AR with me that we can build together on a rainy day

>>33871329
>at least you guys have dads
I have a genetic donor, but that doesn't mean he was my dad.

He's also antigun, so I'm in much the same boat as you.

>>33871666
>>33871793
Thanks guys. I dont have friends that I can talk gun stuff with, so this is my only outlet now that my father has passed. I feel like such a bitch for venting here but atleast its anonymous.

>>33872360
>I'm a bitch for being upset my dad died
I think you've been on the Internet too long. I'd wrecked if my old man died like that, and we have nothing in common and barely talk.

>>33870356
Really sorry anon. Lost my Dad 5 years ago and it is never the same again.

>>33872482
I have spent too long here, but the fact that I'm only venting on 4chan makes me feel like shit. Normal people would be wrecked, I'm only telling you guys how I feel. I guess because it is anonymous I feel better about it, but I don't know.

>>33872360
Don't feel like that, seriously. Thats bullshit. You only get 1 dad and its ok to hurt. There would be something wrong with you if you didn't.

>>33872817
Dont misunderstand, I'm very sad. But ive never been good at showing emotion, my family probably thinks I dont care because I havent cried or seemed sad since he died. Ive only told one person how I feel and she basically said the same thing you're all saying. It still doesnt change my feelings that I can only muster up the courage to talk about it here and not with my family.

And then now that my father is dead so is my families stable income, my mother is looking for work for the first time in 20 years. I'm only 19, I work a shit job, and my boss is being a cunt and cutting my hours (3 this last week for absolutely no damn reason). So I need to man up and find a better paying job that I hope will prevent my mom from having to work an even shittier job than me. I was thinking of enlisting so I could be one less mouth to feed + send about 2k home a month, but I cant because medical shit. So now I dont know what the fuck to do, my 50 year old mother with no college degree is trying to find a job to support the family and I'm stuck in a dead end job making minimum wage at shit hours. Cant ask my dad for advice, and that's when I really feel sad is when shit like this happens and hes not there for me to bounce things off like I always would.

I'm trying to point him to the right direction like trying to convince him using a blackhawk nylon holster is not a good idea. Hopefully he will budge. I'm at least glad I convinced him that .40 is not a one shot stopper.

I'm in much the same boat as you guys and
I don't know if it's any relief to you (Or if you even care for it), but I like to remember that even Ernest Hemingway, that archetype of traditional masculinity (no homo tho), was in much the same situation.
I'm not saying you're better off for not having someone close to you to turn to as an example of that masculinity you've imbued yourself with, but you're certainly no poorer for the experience.

If you apply for a CCW permit, they MAY give it to you, or they SHALL give it.

>>33879230
May issue is when they might not give someone a concealed carry permit, it depends on many factors, such as who is reviewing the request.
Shall issue is when as long as the person is legally able to purchase a handgun (not a felon, of age, mentally capable ect.) the state has to issue them the permit.

I felt this would be as good a thread to post it on as any. I've noticed my father lacking in firearms safety. In one of the gun shops we were at he had his finger on the trigger of guns the whole time. I didn't call him out on it because you just don't do that in public, but I want to remind him of the golden rules with firearms. Any ideas?

>>33879364
Unrestricted is you can carry without a permit. Open or concealed, it doesn't matter as long as you're legally allowed to own it, and in a place like Alaska you just need to be of age and not a felon. The cool thing is that even if you aren't 21 you can still carry a pistol openly as long as you're on your property.

I dont know about NC. Here in florida you can OC on your property or while hunting/fishing (anywhere that you're allowed to be). In terms of best state I would say Alaska or Arizona. AZ is more populated but AK has better scenery imo. The community just depends on where you are, though you'd be more likely to find gun friendly people in Alaska since most of the state has dangerous animals that require guns to protect yourself from.

>>33879586

Guess I got lucky. My dad was receptive to me getting into firearms and actually let me shoot some of the guns he got from his grandad. The worst thing that he does is tell anyone at the range who talks to us for more than 5 seconds that his son is a MEMERINE and the safety sometimes confounds him, which is funny since he flew helicopters for the army for like 20 years

I'm the only one I know that's actually into guns and have too much autism to make friends at the range. I don't want my shit to get all fucked

>>33879846
Add a drop or two of oil to the moving parts and spread it out with your fingers or a cloth, also offering others to shoot your funs is a good way to make friends at ranges.

to sum up the AZ gov's opinion on guns, not only are there no official regularizations aside from the federal ones, but our lawmakers actively try to pass laws to try to remove or ignor aspects of the nfa. A while back we had a state senator push to make it so you could construct and use SBRs in state without needed a tax stamp.

My old man would always talk about how if he were to get a gun (mom is turbo-lib) he would get a CZ-75, he loved how they shot. First shot one when he was stationed in Germany. Would often talk about it when we would watch Steven Seagal movies.

A few years ago, he came down with a degenerative neurological disorder. He went from being the toughest person I know, to a skeleton wrapped in flesh. Couldn't stand, couldn't feed himself, couldn't speak. Only point, and scream. Like a baby. If anybody happens to be a nurse or work in the medical field, the dementia wail. Just an unbelievable transition over such a short period of time. Still, he was fully there cognitively. We would watch The Rifleman and Gunsmoke on my days off, though I didn't spend nearly as much time with him as I now realize I should have. That last year especially, it was very hard.

After your father dies, it basically upends your entire world. I know it sounds trite, but it's true. There's no words to explain just how hollow and terrified I felt for the first year after he died. He wasn't in pain anymore, sure, yeah, whatever. But God damnit he was young as hell, and nobody who has lived such an honest life, working hard to provide for his wife and kids, should ever have to go out like that.

I only wish he had lived long enough to see me make something of myself. I got the CZ-75, pop. You were right, they shoot like a dream.

I'll never, ever forget every time he specifically met my eyes with his own. After he got sick, he wasn't big one eye contact. It was only certain times that he would. But they communicated a certain fear. A certain desperation. A longing for death, but at the same time, the terrifying uncertainty of the void. It's not something I was prepared to deal with then, and it's hard to think about now. I'm gonna have a drink, heh

I know the feel. It's the worst thing for someone and for their family to go through and I don't think any kind of sci fi author could ever capture the true and realest sense of how it turns someone into, like the anon said, a zombie wearing flesh or a ghost in a human's body.

I was fortunate to have a last goodbye where he wasn't lucid but I think he still knew. And doubly so that my troublesome time with him was before he was fully gone, so I was able to make amends with him when he was still lucid. My brother was on the frontlines when he was fully gone (I was there 16-19 then I went to college, my brother came back from college) and so never got that final closure. I remember, well before he was totally gone, him crying and saying he didn't want me to hate him. We were able to overcome that so in his last years he thought well of me. Got told how he'd always light up when I talked to him on the phone when my mum visited the nursing home (for a fucking 57-59 year old man, was not fair. He was big as life. He literally pushed/got pushed by Barry Bonds [dad was a sports reporter, but later when his alzheimers was known barry was awesome and stopped by to give my dad a 1-on-1 interview and chill with him].)

He was far left but got his father to let me have his milsurp (but sporterized, fixable when I can get the wood for it) SMLE and non fixable Argie mauser. Dad was far left but I think I could have gotten him to go shooting with more modern funs I've since bought.

Anyone who works in a nursing home and does their best. Or just does no harm but tries to help in the slightest way, is a saint with the heart of a lion. And I understand entirely and sympathize with anyone who has to eventually put a relative in a nursing home for their dementia. Please do not think badly of yourself - as long as you make sure they are in a good home you are a good person, they would not want you to scourge and suffer yourself. Please seek any help you can to handle it.

>>go shooting with your dad

>Shooting with dad
My dad is ex-Nasty Girls, Minnesota 47th Infantry (Since combined with the 35th Red Bulls) He's got sharpshooter creds on M16 and M60, but he doesn't shoot much at all recreationally.

In five years of being hasguns, he's shot two times. I got him to try my WASR-10 once, and he was 'Meh". Biggest offense was that he rode the charging handle forward.

Not his thing, and that's fine. His general attitude is no fucks given either way. I shoot the things that need shooting and he fixes the car shit that needs fixing.

Sometimes he can answer the odd question based on his training, but for the most part I defer to my Army vet cousin for questions.

I got a BB gun for Christmas when I was 7 or 8 and a 20 gauge 870 for confirmation, both from my dear old dad. When I was 19 he bought me a sporterized Argentine Mauser from an auction, so that was pretty cool. Last fall I went hunting with him for the first time. Before we got down to it, we had to get our cabin ready and he brought his recently refurbished sporterized SMLE that was HIS dad's and we had a great time shooting it. I love my dad and I hope I can go shooting with him over the 4th of July. He is a bit of a fudd though. He wasn't very happy when I bought a blackpowder revolver online when I was 19, but he let me keep it at his place.

I found that sometimes the best way to prevent stuff like this is to show them right off the bat you know your firearms. My father had a friend who never cleaned his guns, didn't understand corrosive ammo, and was generally a wiseguy. All it took was for me to go into his gun room and diagnose the problems on all his guns and their history, and now he asks me for help on firearms and doesn't question my word.

I am not sure on numbers but I know past 85 you're pretty much just a few steps away from being kill. Can be healthy as a horse up to 85. That's pretty much what happened to my mom's mother and father, though my father was the earlier mentioned in the topic late 50s (louie/Lewy Body Dementia)

http://www.alz.org/alzheimers_disease_causes_risk_factors.asp It looks like it's 1/9 for over 65 but 1/3 for over 85.

In my dad's case it was probably due to either the chemicals they used for baseball field grass, the early work he did after college of working on bridges (I think welding and shit), or as simple as when he got hit by a rock in the head when he was a wee lad/teenager. Not like it was proximity to gun-stuff for >>33892142 because both grandparents served in the army air corps in WW2 and so outside of my dad's brief bridge-construction stint they were more liable to have proximity to heavy metals or industry.

Though to be honest as much as dementia still is terrible to witness and deal with, if you're getting hit with it suddenly at 85 or older it's not so bad. My mom got fucked up much more by my dad's 50-59 dementia than her mother's 86-90 or father's 85-90ish. Since I got hit with dad's dementia when I was 14 to 23, as opposed to my mom getting hit with her dad's dementia when she was in her 50s? Well that'll fuck you up good I tell you what.

>>33892418

They also did brain study on him since he was a patient at Georgetown's neurological department and determined it was not hereditary. While that's just one case don't think it's a hereditary affair if one of your relatives have it.

Never went shooting with my mom's fiance again because he had that one bad experience. I was trying to bond with that libshit faggot but NOOOOO, fuck that, right? I have a similar story with my mother if you fags wanna hear it?

he was an alcoholic which was the source of a lot of abuse in my childhood. we had a huge fight about it. when i started talking to him again he had been clean for almost 9 months. when he died he was 3 days from being a year sober and a week from turning 52

Organ failure is still a thing. My uncle- who was a second father to me, passed away in november due to complications from having one working kidney stop working. Not to mention his heart.

Are you unironically telling me that you see nothing wrong with naming your kid 'Galaxy'? Really? I'm not just trying to be a edgemeister here. Try to imagine a middle aged woman named 'Galaxy' sitting in a conference. "Alright, Ian, Bill, Sophia, and Galaxy", or a rollcall at school. It's a ridiculous name that she'll a. be made fun of for and b. probably hate the name herself.

The environment is perfect to get better at shooting, it even goes out of its way to help you prepare for weapons malfunctions. Every day is good day to do a dust test on your rifles.

The worst part is how emotionally imprinted that driving memory is and how often it reoccurs in my sleep. It's not even like a dream or a nightmare, just pure feeling.

>>33876892
Just accept that it's going to hurt for years. Almost two years after my dad passed I tried to call him on his birthday. When my girl reminded me he was dead it was like ripping a bandage off a fresh wound. I still have dreams that he's still alive. We didn't have the best relationship, and we left a lot unfinished. Best advice I can give though is just accept the pain.

NC is all fucked up with their purchase permits. In some counties you have to suck the sheriffs dick everytime you buy a gun.

>>33904303
Really? With rifles and shotguns there's no need to do that. With pistols, you can stack up permits and use them whenever. My father is currently getting several at the same time to use.

>>33904540
Depends on the county. I've heard of small counties refusing to issue frequently. When I lived in charlotte it took 45 days to get three permits. No explanation, or anything for the delay. In SC I just walk into a store, and buy a gun.

I had a buddy that shot two holes in another friends house. Once straight into the roof and the other straight up into a door frame. Both times we told him to keep his finger off the trigger and his famous last words were "it's not even loade-" BANG. At least we never muzzle swept each other and always kept guns pointed up inside.

Apparently his WWII dad is the one who taught him how to shoot and trigger discipline wasn't really a thing back then because every fucking trigger had like 10lb pull.

>>33906573
I do. My dad doesn't, thankfully, so you don't have to worry.

kek, I hope your dad didn't piss of the RO's, they're all pretty chill guys running that range and I hope it stays that way. I love parking my vepr at a bench and smacking the steel they have set up out at 300 yds, plus at 5 bucks for a whole day with a mil ID, and being able to bring whatever ammo you want, it's by far the best range I've ever been to.

One of my first memories was my dad teaching me how to fire a hawken rifle. He's great and I never want to loose him.

try to find a warehouse job or a trade. Day labor in general pays alot better than minium wage and usually come with job security and benefits. If you have a hard time finding warehouse work, find a temp agency and bust your ass at the place they send you and that company might offer you a fulltime spot.

also dont worry about the psysical requirements. im a 5 foot 7 chink who weighs a buck fourty that has broken both hands and my right foot. work was tough at first but now i regularly lift 80lbs or more at work with little dificulty.

I'm British, but moved to the us a while ago, and started buying guns. My dad freaked out about how dangerous they are, then told me how he used to go shooting with the army when he was a kid or something. He and my uncle both did, my uncle was actually really good and ended up in the army, and my dad says he was a good shot too.
He's still freaked out that I have guns though.
In going to get an Enfield (that's what they shot apparently) before the next time he visits as a gift
