That is my intended plan, as well. I have a 6-year-old daughter, so luckily I have another 24 years of gun-cleaning practice before I allow her to start dating!RPBrown wrote:I have 4 daughters and whenever one would bring a boy home I would always be cleaning a gun of some sort.
Same here...I have 2 daughters and one son. My son would have been terrified if he came home and told me that story. Being told he could have been shot by the girl's father would be the least of his concerns. My daughters would have been calling the cops the minute I got home to come bail her out of the whuppin Dad would be unleashing.i8godzilla wrote:As the Father of both a daughter and son, I can say that boys were lucky not to be thrown out of the house butt-naked. If my son came home and told me the story those boys told their fathers, I can bet I would have wanted to tan his hide.
I believe the girl's father wanted to scare them and pulled his gun from his holster. I can only hope that he really did not point it at the boys but who knows?
The article said they were sixteen...no crime?DONT TREAD ON ME wrote:I certainly understand the father's anger (I have a daughter and a son) but you cannot let your anger control your actions. There was no crime being committed. It was consensual and both the boys and the daughter are responsible. The beatings and the drawing of the weapon were uncalled for.
Depends on your own definition of crime. I agree it does take to two tango, so in that sence no crime as if she were being raped or something violent natured. Certainly nothing worth pulling a gun over.Dragonfighter wrote:The article said they were sixteen...no crime?DONT TREAD ON ME wrote:I certainly understand the father's anger (I have a daughter and a son) but you cannot let your anger control your actions.

What dance requires 4 people?AJMag wrote:I agree it does take to two tango,
Reading the actual law, 17 is the cutoff age, but there's also a close in age exemption. Otherwise she would be guilty of the same crime. Think about that for a minute.AJMag wrote:Depends on your own definition of crime.

Seems to me that the daughter was a willing participant and the age of consent in WA is 16. So, no crime.Dragonfighter wrote:The article said they were sixteen...no crime?DONT TREAD ON ME wrote:I certainly understand the father's anger (I have a daughter and a son) but you cannot let your anger control your actions.

RP: You have several thinks coming on that one. It isn't going to happen that way. You have MAYBE 10 years. If you get lucky, very lucky.
OOPS! I got strider and RP reversed on my comments. Sorry about that!RPBrown wrote:OldCurlyWolf wrote:Strider: It works, btdt.strider67 wrote:That is my intended plan, as well.

It worked for me although the girls were not always happy about it. All but 1(the oldest) are now married. However, the one that is not married is a very good shot (wonder if that is why she is not married)
No worries, OldCurlyWolf, I got the messagae...I'm just in denial!OldCurlyWolf wrote:OOPS! I got strider and RP reversed on my comments.

And RP, I already have her shooting a .22 rifle, and she's pretty good at it. She told me just the other day she wanted me to take her shooting again (just a few weeks from her introduction)! I almost cried!
