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.

Edit: and the other girls comments about wanting a decisive man that picks the date is like a universal truth that I've struggled with too.

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.

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'

I know better than to describe it as "Oh man i almost got to use my CCW this weekend!".

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".
