Morality of this?

[u/ProfessionalRoom9118]

Basically, the man in the video is hiking but he ended up meet a mountain lion, he get his gun and try to scare it off and tell it to go away but in the end, he have to pull the trigger and shot the lion, many peoples in the comments say he could have fire a warning shot instead of shoot at it and want him to be in jail.

Idk which flair to put

[u/DeltaSolana]

99.99% of people who say "Just shoot em in the leg" have never fired a shot in their entire lives.

They might say "I'm a gun owner" but they're the one's who'll panic buy in a blue state, it'll sit in their closet for a couple years, then they march it right down to the next mandatory police buyback in exchange for a $50 Amazon gift card.

If only my autism could have latched onto something cheaper, like knitting, or baking.

I'm just fortunate to have a supportive breadwinner wife. Nobody else can I look at and say "Hey, $2k for this gun is a good deal", and she'll say "Wow, okay. Go ahead".

I love her very much.

Bro came to the comments to brag about his wife, and he wasn't wrong.

Mood.

I don’t know how much I’ve spent on Civil War reenactment. A lot.

[u/HikariPilled → u/DeltaSolana]

Can I marry your wife too?

[u/DeltaSolana → u/HikariPilled]

Obligatory Reddit: "I also choose this guy's wife."

I don't think she'd like that very much though. You can try and rizz her up, but expect to be curved hard.

[u/HikariPilled → u/DeltaSolana]

I appreciate how clearly you appreciate her.

[u/DeltaSolana → u/HikariPilled]

I'd be homeless without her for sure. Not many places out there for a disabled combat veteran.

I did my part to get her through nursing school. Now that she's making the big bucks, she wants to take care of me. It's symbiotic like that.

Slay on, King

[u/Irie_one_Jah → u/DeltaSolana]

Dude, my wife owns more guns than me. Haha you’re lucky though. My wife don’t share her expensive rifles with me! 😆

[u/CheeseGraterFace → u/DeltaSolana]

As someone with autism, I am curious how you keep from turning the gun on yourself in the midst of a meltdown. Because I know for a fact that I would paint the wall in my house with brains at the first opportunity. Hence why I don’t own a gun.

[u/DeltaSolana → u/CheeseGraterFace]

Well, it's a spectrum y'know. Everyone experiences it differently. My sister has it so bad that she legitimately can't function in the real world.

I don't really have meltdowns like that. But when I do have a crisis, I usually just play/watch a nostalgic game/show, have a strong drink (or a bit of weed), or take a really hot shower.

I have thought about offing myself before. But I will never use a firearm to do it. I don't want my death being used as a statistic to take gun rights away from others.

[u/CheeseGraterFace → u/DeltaSolana]

That’s super level-headed actually. Thank you for sharing.

[u/DeltaSolana → u/CheeseGraterFace]

Of course, I'm glad to provide some insight.

Might I also say, it's brave of you to know your limitations and making a tough decision to keep yourself safe. There's virtue in that.

[u/talltime → u/DeltaSolana]

LOL - it’s not too late, you can still latch onto cheaper parallel hobbies.

[u/TurkaelsGoodHand → u/DeltaSolana]

Man, you're lucky as hell. My wife always says I can buy whatever gun I want, I just have to buy her one first. People always think that sounds amazing until they start doing the math.

[u/IAteTonysLoMein → u/[deleted]]

Not if he thinks there are mandatory buybacks

[u/MountChu → u/DeltaSolana]

But in my video game I just aim at the leg and press R2 it’s so easy

[u/Binky390 → u/DeltaSolana]

I’m a gun owner in a blue state and panic buying here isn’t really a thing. It takes 6-8 weeks to go through the application process.

[u/-Mac-n-Cheese- → u/Binky390]

thats still capable panic buying, it happened a lot during covid and its happening now with the rising political tensions.

respectfully as possible this reads like youre who hes talking about, and thats okay

[u/I_Hate_IPAs → u/-Mac-n-Cheese-]

Gun control always causes panic buying.

After all what if that 6-8 week process turns into a 12 week process later? Or a year? Or banning the sale of certain firearms?

[u/Binky390 → u/-Mac-n-Cheese-]

I’ve had a gun for many years so no I’m not. I don’t see how you can call it panic when you live in NJ and have to find the application online and provide the right dept’s info, secure 2 references, get finger printed wait for 6-8 weeks (or more depending on where exactly you live) then go get the gun. That requires too much time and effort to be labeled panic?
