anti parents

[Waingro]

Yeah you're 22 man - I am guessing she is around the same age - sometimes women that young do stupid thing. So when she is cheating on you - the last thing I would want is that guy man-handling my guns getting ready to off me.

Sadly owning a gun and shooting one is not cheap - opt for public storage. It is your best bet.

Keeping them at your parents could result in some real nasty things, you never know.

By the way, you know real estate is pretty cheap right now right? You can rent and stuff as well - you are old enough. You're parents can co sign.

How's your gf's parents feel about having guns at their place? Or does the gf have her own place?

[nobs11]

You should really get your own place if you want to own guns.

As far as public storage goes, several public storage places explicitly say that no firearms or ammo can be stored.

If you are storing at your girlfriend's house think of liability and other issues. What happens if her place gets robbed. Or if some paranoid person she knows finds out and calls the cops. You have the right to own and store in your own place of residence, not in someone else's unless you are on the lease as well. She is not your wife so you can't say that you loaned them to her. Between spouses guns can change hands and it is legal.

their house, their rules.

your house, your rules.

if you're not keeping the guns in their house but in locked storage off their property, then i don't see the sense in telling them that.

My parents were once antigun...
After their house was robbed, they asked me how to buy a gun for home defense. My father already knows how to handle one, he was a police Sargent back in the old country.

My point being, parents are rational beings...most of the time. Talk to them. Outline the benefits and need of firearm possession in this day and age.

A good point i make to them every chance I get is after a quake, we're all going to be on our own for anywhere from a couple hours to a couple of weeks after the shaking subsides. A firearm is a necessary survival tool in California.

I'm just trying to get you to store those guns safely near you, where you have immediate access to them as well as complete knowledge of their whereabouts at all time.
Having gone through a few relationships (married now), I would be weary of storing firearms at a girlfriend's house.

In addition, you don't want to keep anything like this from your parents. They'll only feel betrayed and frustrated.

Good luck with your decision.

Take up hunting,try to work them into it. My mother was an E.R. nurse and she is sure that guns cause all the evils in the world. My stepfather Nam' vet and scared to death of guns (air force medic,P.O.W. 2 1/2 years).

It took me years to get them to understand that guns don't jump up and run through schools killing people all by themselves. People actually do that,not the guns. It would be just as easy to drink a bottle of Jack Danials jump in a car and take a little drive through an elementry school........It's a hell of a lot easier to get a car than a gun. I've trained my kids about firearms and that amazed my Mom that my son can look at a gun and it doesn't faze him. They are coming around,it just takes time. Some people are like watermelons though, have you ever tried talking to a watermelon.

I am currently going to college and still live with my parents, both my parents are "anti" and I mean retarded anti there is no talking to them period. I have a ruger p345 and a mosin nagant m38 that they have no clue I own, is this wrong for me to do? also what do you think about a oll?

If they're truly antigun, they are going to loath an OLL. Don't get an OLL behind their backs, even if you do plan on storing it outside of their property. My $0.02.

Here's my take...

Short: He's an adult and can do whatever he would like, as long as he keeps it outside their home.

He essentially has two issues - how to deal with his firearms love and relationship with his parents and where to store/keep them, should he decide to have them.

I would say you should be more open and honest with them. You're an adult and it's your choice, but this comes with the responsibility of owning up to your choices. They don't have to like it - they're free to decide that, as well. Having a relationship with someone means you even share things that are uncomfortable. You don't have to go into detail, but they should know about your feelings on firearms and your choices.

Now, on storage... To keep your guns in their home, behind their back and without their permission, is unacceptable. Depending on how close you are with your gf and her living arrangements, the solution is fine. There are other (perhaps better) alternatives you should consider (like moving out, storage unit, etc.)

This is very well put- I agree- except leaving them at the GF's is REALLY not good at all. Besides possible legality issues mentioned, what happens when you have a falling out and she gets an RO on you because she's afraid of you and your guns that are at her place- YOUR SCREWED to the hundredth power. What if her other boyfriend finds them and likes them and steals them or sells them? Not saying that it will happen, but they are VERY possible outcomes.

Leave them out of the house and talk to your parents- tell them the current situation- explain it to them. Do NOT bring them into your parents house without their approval. If they dont allow you to bring them in, get a storage unit-

Who cares what the lease says you're allowed to keep in a storage unit- It's none of their Fn business what you put in there... Dont tell em it's guns- or they might break in and steal them.

My GF lives with me. My guns are here- I got her into shooting and she bought a pistol which is also here. A different situation because we LIVE together. We've also been together for 10 yrs- I dont worry about her going psycho and getting RO or anything like that- What's hers is hers, and whats mine is mine until we get married... then what's hers is hers, and whats mine is hers.... you know how it goes....

I assume you dont have a brother or sister you could store them with? A REALLY good friend you would trust with your life, money and GF to leave them with? Girls come and go- Really good friends are ALWAYS there. (hard to find those ones)

10 years, living together and your still not married? Are your friends still saving up for the million dollar bachelor party?

[sorensen440]

If they arent on your parents property then I dont see an issue
I recommend moving out though

[Guntech]

Mmm huh....And what was their address...just for reference..

HAHAHA!!!!!! We've only been living together for about 2 yrs- We each had our own place, and she'd spend the night a few times a week, but she got rid of her apt and moved in about 2 yrs ago- We've been together for 10 yrs total.

Weddings aint cheap unless we say F it and drive to vegas... Financial crisis for several yrs have put marriage on the back burner. It's not real important to either of us right now. We'll get married eventually when we can afford to- for now we're both comfortable and secure in our current relationship.

We've seen 3 sets of couples/friends meet well after us, date, get engaged- when they get engaged, they're all over us "When are you two gonna get married?" Like "since we're doing it, so should everybody else!"

1 couple split before marriage-
1 is divorced with an RO
1 is still unhappily married
Been together 10 yrs this Memorial weekend, and still in no rush to get married. I'm comfortable in this current situation- we will get married eventually, and I'm very confident our marriage will last- we've been through hell and back in the last 10 yrs, and she's still around... Whats the rush?

I can give you a long list of things that call for the "rush":
1. Your not getting any younger and unless you want to be 60 and have a 10 year old you better get on it
2. Shes not getting any younger and her biological clock is ticking lol
3. If you start balding she'll leave you
4. If she starts balding, well you'll already be bald so....
5. You might not be able to get a better deal on a house for a family than you can right now..



I'm just giving you a hard time lol

Oh and one more thing

[postal]

HAHAHAHA!!!

It's all true-

My hair is going- I'm almost 35- She's 33- We want a kid when we can afford one- and houses are only going to stay low for about 2-3 yrs max...

Guess I gotta find a real career and get on it! (been working on that for a while now)
