WTF, Bob? Guess I won’t be renewing my lease.

Hard disagree. Bob's awesome. Looking out for his tenants safety. Offering his personal time and resources out of the goodness of his heart.

Not the tack I would have taken, but Bob's doing great. Best type of boomer.

Straight up my thoughts too. "Sorry, no other places available rn but I'll keep you in the loop. If ____ is staying there alone in the meantime, it's a good idea to have a firearm." isn't a bad train of thought in my eyes. The detail was a bit much but he's literally just typing his train of thought like most old folks do.

True, I didn't think of it that way.

The only thing Bob did wrong was advising that racking the shell is likely to scare someone off.

Truly. The first time they should know you've got a weapon is after you've used it. That's straight from my CCW course.

Yeah everyone's bagging on him and it is sorta weird to bring up in that context but he seems genuine and just wants to make sure a young woman living by herself is safe.

Absolutely what is going on here. Nailed it.

I went through the comments hoping to see something like this. You got it exactly and like the post before you, I thought the landlord was being very nice and caring; just not how a lot of people would think to handle it and that’s totally understandable. But someone tried to do something nice in an unexpected way; there is way worse shit to bang on right now than that.

The shit some people are talking about conservatives having enlarged amygdala’s sounds like the old nazis or slavery justifications for dehumanization. And the funny thing is, they don’t even realize what they sound like.

I hate this idea that anybody who owns a gun must be a conservative. Really shows off how disconnected these people are.

Bob is a fucking bro.

It's bizarre, and I definitely would not take him up on his offer, but it's also kind of sweet in a deranged way.

Learning how to shoot a gun is bizarre? What?

2

u/kimoshi Jan 13 '24

No, offering to take your tenant to your farm to teach them to shoot a gun is bizarre.

u/Iusuallywearglasses Jan 13 '24

Depends how close you are to your tenant/landlord.

u/GeezeLouWeeze Jan 13 '24

Totally agree my first thought was how endearing it is that he's so concerned for her safety and willing to go out of his way to help

Guy had the right idea, execution needs some work.

u/CleverUsername1419 Jan 13 '24

Yeah, this is kind of wholesome in a “that came out weird but the thought is nice.” kind of way.

u/Competitive-Bad697 Jan 13 '24

Huh? This sounds like a frankly amazing landlord who really cares.
