Am I being paranoid? or just cautious?
So my friend is over to my house with his brother in law. My friend likes to go out and plink .22s for fun once in a while, and he wants me to show his brother in law my new Sig because he is "into guns" as well.
So I say sure. his brother in law is a good guy, and I have known him casually for years. I am figuring, hey this is neat, maybe I can get a new target range partner out of this until........
I take the gun out of the case. I rack the gun to show him its unloaded, and leave the action open and hand it to him pointed at the ground. he takes the gun, closes the action and the first thing he does with it is hold up "gansta style", holding it sideways and makes a shooting sound with his mouth. I immediatly get a bit freaked by this adolescent behavior. The guy is 36 yrs old acting like he is 15! I politely take the pistol back and put it in the case and switch converstation.
This freaked me out and made me NOT want to go anywhere near this guy with a loaded gun. range or not!
Am I being unreasonable? or paranoid?
I wanted to bounce this off responsible gun minded people to see what your opinions are.
Thanks in advance.
