Are they paying your bills or any part of your bills? Do you pay your own rent/mortgage and taxes? Are you legally allowed to own/purchase a handgun? If the answers to all these questions then you typically qualify as a functional adult. I went through this with my parents. I love them, I respect them...But I told them it was MY decision and would be the first of many decisions with which they may or may not agree. We've all moved on since then and though occasionally I'll still here the mother hens cackling, it's a none issue.NguyenVanDon wrote:Over the weekend, my parents found out I carry a gun. They slept over at my apartment, so I guess they got nosy and start snooping around my closet and my drawers when I was in the shower last night. Well, they went home this morning acting normal. Until an hour ago, I got a phone call from my parents and they are mad I carry a gun. My parents told me to go sell it and get rid of it. Boy did that made my day. They didn't want to talk about it anymore, so they hung up the phone. So, I'm sitting here thinking, they must be crazy if they think I'm getting rid of my only CCW. Good luck with that. Time add fuel to the flame and start another gun debate. I have an idea how to approach this situation, but I would like some extra help from ya fellas here. So what would ya guys do?
Background Info:
My parents fled the Vietnam War when the communist took over. My parents been here for almost 30 years. I was born in a small town of Orange, TX. Both of my parents are Americanized and citizens of this country, but they are still in the time where they think guns is bad. I got put on a spot and froze up. How would you approach this situation if you were in my shoes?
Having said all that, I don't know you from a hill of beans and there is always more to the story than we get to read here. For all I know, your parents' issue may not be the gun so much as it is YOU, with a gun. That might be an issue worth exploring if you care to discuss it further with your parents.
