In The Wee Hours of the Morning

[The Annoyed Man]

Imagine at this point a buck naked woman crouched beside a dresser

Done.

I wasn't going to go there. No I wasn't. I'm still not gonna. Nope. Not gonna do it.

Well, I was going to just ignore it, but whatever...

Hubby now wants to reinforce the bedroom door with five metal bars that I can put in place before I go to bed and remove in the morning.
I keep having to remind him that we are renting and I don't want to lose the deposit because of some large nasty holes in the wall.

Thanks random for the trigger discipline clarification. Now you got me thinking about that muzzle, haha.
I wonder if "low ready" is the most common positon taught for that situation and if there is a name for
what you were using.

is that to keep the bad guys out , or keep you in ?

Id like to suggest you never pull back the hammer to cock your revolver.

How else am I supposed to make my Blackhawk work?

Guess I'd better have the safety on my 1911 pinned up, too.

I would say it's fairly common; I would have had it low ready, but since I live above another family I don't like to point the barrel anywhere but up. We had a friend make a negligent discharge in our apartment last year while aimed at the floor. The apartment below us was vacant at the time, and the bullet didn't penetrate all the way through the floor....but only because it hit a nail and ricocheted back up and into our couch. There's a nice little curved bullet path about 2 inches long under the carpet that isn't too noticeable now and a never-ending "what-if" that keep us pointing our guns to the sky.

Well if you were my mother, you'd be screaming the latter. She's not too fond of hubby.

See, that's the crazy thing. She loved him while we were dating. Was angry that I moved in with him but got over it. Has gone shooting with us, we used to have her over for dinner often, etc. She is just all of the sudden convinced that he's "isolating me from my friends" and "keeping me at home" because he's "abusive and controlling".I think she's putting my father's characteristics on to my husband because she's upset that I'm not available to spend as much time with her now that I don't live with her. It wouldn't bother me so much if she wasn't spreading these lies to family andfriends...

well , i don't know your situation , but it sounds like you're still newlyweds . so its only natural that you want to spend a lot of time with your husband . mom must understand this fact .

i will tell you what changed my inlaws attitude towards me was when my wife and i had our first child .
children change everything , including me .

all i can say is try to be understanding of your mother and hopefully things will change for the better .

theres nothing more important than family . good luck to you .

Truer words have never been spoken, my friend.

Sorry in advance for the thread high jack (but I didn't start it). I completely agree with the give it time comment. I just wanted to add that IMHO most men (myself included) cannot fully comprehend the mother-daughter relationship, and further, how that relationship changes when the daughter becomes a wife.

Our eldest daughter married a fine young man (an officer and a gentleman) that my wife absolutely adored when they first met and first started dating. In fact, I even remarked that I thought maybe my wife was going to dump me and try to go after the guy herself back then. But, when it came to the point that this fine young man married my wife's little girl (who was 22 and a college graduate) and took her away - well, that's a different story! The logic that my wife and I were 22 and we had only known each other less than a year when we married 27 years ago didn't seem to matter - somehow all that was irrelevant when applied to our little girl.

Our daughter and son-in-law have been apparently happily married for almost three years now. I would say things between my wife and our son-in-law are tolerant but still sometimes strained. It seems at least some of the pressure now is coming from some need for my wife to be a grandmother....

As far as the tactical situation goes, I'd say you acted responsibly and having good communication methods worked out in advance is what's required. Every situation provides a learning opportunity and a chance to improve.

So much for that security deposit...
