If I went to the house of someone I did not know and that person had guns out on the table I would feel very uncomfortable because I did not know that person or his/her gun safety habits or his/her homicidal inclinations. So to that end, it would seem reasonable to put your guests at ease by stowing the firearms with asking.

withOUT asking, I meant to say.

"Oh don't worry, the homicidal urges only really kick in on Tuesdays."

Also I would be worried watching King of Queens would drive me to turn one of the guns on myself.
― thejenny, Thursday, 1 December 2011 20:46 (twelve years ago) link
considering all of the CBS sitcoms of the past 10 years, you can go so much worse than King of Queens
yes I am looking at you, According to Jim and Yes, Dear

Can we talk about guns some more, and maybe cars, before we go down the King of Queens road once again?
― Pleasant Plains, Thursday, 1 December 2011 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
thejenny, it would be so much easier to just go all Elvis on the TV

yeah I was just about to say, please don't turn another gun etiquette thread into a discussion about king of queens

I was in Florida over Thanksgiving. There sure were a lot of gun shops there. I think ppl in Florida love guns a lot.

i am still totally baffled by the story that kicked this thread off

King of Queens Road is the Hong Kong version of the show I think.

what about, cad

guns have multiple functions, poisons only have oh fuck me are we really going to do this again

sure, let's! name one other than killing people/animals

I've driven though Queens before but saw nary a King.
― Pleasant Plains, Thursday, 1 December 2011 20:52 (twelve years ago) link
lol there was not a gun thread that turned into a KoQ thread, was there?
tbh I've never seen the show and I think I was confusing it with Everbody Loves Raymond. Or that Jim Belushi one.

i guess mostly about your relationship to this guy and the circumstances under which you showed up. maybe you explained and i missed it--sorry if that's the case. i just can't imagine having this interaction.

and useful! like what if we surgically replaced world renowned pianist lang lang's hands with guns and then made him place rachmanikoff. instant comedy!

name one other than killing people/animals
killing clay pigeons? cans? bottles?

btw people do keep poisons in their house, often out in the open, they're called "cleaning supplies"
― superb mario bothers (crüt) (step hen faps), Thursday, 1 December 2011 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
- target shooting (recreational and competitive)- collector's pieces- starting races (lol)- ceremonial salutes- pistol-whipping/bludgeoning (you never said non-violent uses)

anybody want to come over to my place, I'm gonna be doing some butt stroking
nah cad, I didn't explain it, I can if you want tho

k3, are you against the use of guns for killing animals?

I can't believe I missed the first 2 days of this thread and all the fun you had on it.

here I typed it
Met dude during thanksgiving, he is an in law of sorts I guess (neither of us are married). So we all met up at the in laws' house for thanksgiving, and, because he is around my age, after we ate, all us younger ppl went to his place, which is not too far from the in laws' house we met up at.

I guess this all sounds more confusing than it needs to be but I'm trying to be too specific about it I guess, I wanted to make this all less about talking about people who don't post on the forum and more about talking about cultural mores, but then I remembered the whole king of queens thing and couldn't help posting about it
― good webinar (ha ha I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
im trying not to be, that is
Open carry would be fun for one day, if you did it dressed like Steve McQueen in Bullitt (armpit holsters!), or some crazy Wild West getup.
― milo z, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:06 (twelve years ago) link
I wonder if I could get legislation passed that would allow a free open carry handgun permit as long as the holder was dressed as Ulala from Space Channel 5
― OH NOES, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:07 (twelve years ago) link
lol ok thanks.
this is why i avoid ppl i don't already know.

― rusty flathead screwdriver, Thursday, December 1, 2011 4:00 PM
sort of? i don't think just anybody should have the right to shoot a deer or a rabbit or something they're not going to eat themselves. bear in mind private ownership of any kinds of guns should be illegal - if hunting is necessary for food or population control or whatever the government could employ people to do this
― k3vin k., Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:09 (twelve years ago) link
hahahaha good luck with that
― OH NOES, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
I gotta say, there are like a dozen reasons why you should secure your guns when you're not using them, but I think that unsecured firearms and intoxicants would be a situation I would excuse myself from or like, be upfront and ask the dude to stow them.
― rusty flathead screwdriver, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
well yeah duh xp
― k3vin k., Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:12 (twelve years ago) link
Just to be clear population control is not an if thing wrt many game animals (looking at you insane amount of deer) but an absolute, thx to historical slaughter of predators.
Do not hunt myself, but that's just factual.
― PROVEN BY BOOZE SCIENCE, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:15 (twelve years ago) link
xps where's the fun in being rational -- talk about a gun car!
― Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:16 (twelve years ago) link
why the fuck should the government hire people to control the deer population instead of hunters doing it themselves?
― superb mario bothers (crüt) (step hen faps), Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
that unsecured firearms and intoxicants
If nothing else, guns and weed would tend to make me paranoid
― M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
Also I think you could make a pretty dece argument for the positive eco aspects of people obtaining their meat from self-sustaining things like deer populations.
― PROVEN BY BOOZE SCIENCE, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
well it'd be hard for them to do it without guns, which they can't own
lol

For better or for worse, that is something that will never happen in the US.
