Really comes off that weird? Even though ive known the woman and talked to her off and on for 6 or so months. She knows my personality shes and shes certainly asked coworkers about me. And not like we havent talked about other similar political or out there topics before. And when i say I told her she was victim blaming it was not at all in a butthurt or serious tone but a playful light hearted one that did not kill or made the conversation we where having awkward

Its definitely not a topic I would discuss with a woman if I was just barely getting to know her.

Oh I 100% understand that and generally act accordingly. This woman turned out to be a bit farther away(bumble is dumb and doesnt set your location in stone) than I normally talked to so figured it wouldnt be an issue.

Dude, that's a red flag even for another guy. If I had been friendly with a dude at work for 6-8 months and was like "this guy seems cool, I should invite him over for a beer or BBQ or something" and then one day he goes "Yeah, so this dude was kind of getting in my face, and I really thought I might just need to pull my concealed gun out and waste him".... Yeah, I would not be inviting that dude over. Even if you were 100% in the right in the situation, you shouldn't tell other people that you are perfectly capable and willing to take someone's life. That's not a thing that makes anyone feel comfortable, and will definitely make people look at you differently.

I tell women when we start dating "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die". Also bring it up during job interviews. It really cuts out a lot of people that think you are telling them a secret about killing someone. Subscribe for more time saving tips.

Red flag for you maybe.

No but seriously at this point I've come to think of BP as being so unbelievably socially inept that when he tells the story it probably comes across as 'im disappointed i didnt get to waste the guy' rather than 'thank god i didnt have to waste the guy'

Irony is ive actually been asked countless times if Ive ever shot or killed someone by coworkers due to my military service. Its really crazy, sometimes theyll just casually ask when we wherent talking about anything military related.

Lmao, one of my buddies who was in the military and I were in a group training about 6 people at work and one of the trainees asks Vic how many people he's killed. Vic politely declined to answer (hint, it's a lot), then he leaves the room, the rest of the group completely dog piles this guy for asking that completely inappropriate question. Said dude then proceeds to ask me how much money I make, and the entire room dog piles him again.

Then, later that week, he meets HR and asks the gal what she's doing this weekend and suggests he should come out on his boat. I like this dude's style. No filter, fucking hilarious, doesn't care.

Let me put it this way. If that happened to me, I don't think I'd tell anyone the way you described. Not my foh gun bros, not my wife, not my karate buddies, no one. I'd tell people about the guy getting in my face and how I thought I would have to put him down. But not how I was weighing out whether I could shoot him yet. It sounds psycho because you were thinking about it. If you had time to think about it, you clearly didn't feel very threatened. Now, maybe you really were rattled and needed someone to talk to. That's a different story. But that probably shouldn't have been some chick you're not even dating yet.

I would probably have a funny answer ready that would get me in trouble. Like "No because muzzies aren't people" or "Don't have a stateside yet". But it does bring up a point that your story would not have sounded psycho if they ask a direct question "Have you have had to pull your gun".

I don't have a filter and am full of don't give a shit. Having said that there's very few things I won't say or bring up. Nobody is going to fire me and HR is a foreign concept. But I would never ask if someone had killed someone in the military. I might ask if they were doing big brothers because it fullfilled their community service stuff ordered by the court.

You know that little voice on your shoulder that says "don't say that"? I don't and everyone brings it up t o me often.

When the receptionist said he daughter got laid off of work I told her there was onlyfans. Apparently she had no idea and asked one of the other guys there what that was.

Both of them were right.

Don't talk about pulling out your CCW, that was stupid.

Also, you just tell them we're doing this, or give 2 choices tops. Plan it or it's not happening.

This. Its like you have never dealt with women before. And never talk about CCW shit in front of co-workers, let alone female ones. You are just begging for a visit from HR.

I can appreciate having no filter, as I don't have one either.

But I do know when to shut the fuck up.

Theres this coworker who I had a slight interest in. Asked her for her number little over a week ago and she gave it to me. So last monday she texts me asking how my weekend went. I tell her how I almost had to take out my concealed carry pistol because some 20 something dude randomly got aggressive with me and clearly wanted to get physical with me but thankfully didnt.

You hide your personality at work and she thought you were a sane human.

friend of over 40 years, just hit me with a text that he has split from his wife and probably getting a divorce. they have been married over 25 years. had a long call with him a couple of months ago and everything seemed fine, but apparently he has been boozing pretty hard. this was like their 2nd year with the kids out of the house. i have no idea how to respond, crazy.

Would be interesting to know if she was just preoccupied by the children, and then realized how boring her life had become after having them (and they've gone.) Or, if there was an ancient rift in the relationship, like he or her cheating, and burying it "for 'deez' kidz."
