Hey guys.
Just got back from my poker night, 4:30 AM. At the end of the night it was just me, another guy with ~same amount of chips(conservative also), and the host(buying liberal san francisco garbage). Host is going to the range with me pretty soon, maybe this week. We cashed out and started talking about guns and gun laws. Had a good conversation for about a half hour discussing gun laws. We were pretty much winning the debate. But then he brought up my six year old nephew being able to break into my safe. I don't know why, but that made me mad. I said(paraphrased), :We've been having a good conversation so far but you have to start saying some ridiculous BS. This conversation is over. Thanks for hosting poker it was great(it was a great poker night). Said my goodbyes then left. I feel like a jerk for not being able to remain calm. But after the ridicuolous statement I saw red. He left a message apologizing. But I'm not sure he has anything to apologize for. Any tips for dealing with outlandish statements or general advice dealing with antis on the edge?
