A concept I always find weird is the idea of the “shotgun dad” as in…

“when my daughter brings a boy over I’m gonna be cleaning a shotgun, he needs to treat my daughter right or else.”

I think most of the time this is a joke, but for anyone that actually means it… I mean bro this is a teenage boy lol

If you’ve been living correctly he’ll be scared shitless of you anyway. Even if you’re super nice to him. 😂

By all means be firm and have rules and boundaries etc… but leave the shotgun in its place.

Boys like girls, girls like boys.

It’s natural and normal.

not a shotgun, but this happened to me as a teenager meeting her military dad for the first time. shook my hand with one while polishing a .357 with the other. I took it as a sign of insecurity. big surprise, he was a shitty father to her growing up and she had big time daddy issues as a result.

Exactly. It’s always a sign of massive insecurity on the father’s part.

yeah would’ve been fine if he was like, “wanna check this out? “ and we scheduled some time at the range to get to know each other. but it was just a cringe staged flex.
