What do I do anons? Guns are cool and I want to have a rifle of my own but I can't so long as I live at home. No, I won't be moving out anytime soon so don't go there.
What do you do?
>move out
>shut the frick up and don't make this shitty thread
those are your two options
FPBP
Their house, their rules. Don't be a homosexual
Go buy one
I like it, it takes balls. Unfortunately this would get me kicked out.
Threaten to shoot them. If you have the gun you make the rules.
You're the one with the gun. What's he going to do about it?
Use Fed magic.
Yeah, my dad wouldn’t let me have a gun either and threatened to do that to me after he found the stainless USP45 that I bought. I was a high school senior and 18, couldn’t afford to not live with him so he confiscated it and told me he’d kick me out if I ever did it again.
So I naturally did it again, this time with a USP Tactical he found in my dresser when I was out of town to visit DC with some friends. Didn’t kick me out then, but finally did when he found the third USP in a different dresser the day I left for boot camp. Haven’t had him as a part in my life since.
just send him some money, he obviously needs it
Too many sheckles and my nose will grow. Hold off on the donations.
why the frick do have 3 USP's? I feel like you'd just be buying them to frick with your dad by getting the same make of gun 3 times in a row each time he found them
did you get all 3 back?
>he found in your dresser
>your parents went snooping through your stuff
>after you're an adult
Huge red flag
sounds like dad would have been happier if he found you wearing girls underwear and some dragon dildos.
Hope you either got your USPs back, or charged him with theft of a firearm three times. It's more likely that you just made this story up though.
>report gun stolen
>dad is a felon now
>he gets his wish of never owning a firearm granted by the government he loves so much and free lodging for a number of years
Happy birthday, dad.
>high school senior and 18
>handgun
I saved up enough money to buy my car and my first two shotguns. My parents were the same, I saved up and moved out, bringing my guns with me and flipping the double bird. Just stop being a homosexual, get a job, make money and move out and do your own shit.
Still in college. Most of my spare cash is going to tuition. Moving out until I have a job that isn't just over minimum wage isn't really an option.
>Still in college
>college
>in the year of our lord 2024
You you are ngmi. Enjoy being a no gunz homosexual living with your parents
It's for electrical engineering. Got 60% of my tuition paid for by the state. It's gonna work out.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh my god you're fricked.
are you moronic? EE is one of the hardest degrees to get and the jobs, if you are good, are awesome.
t. comp sci gay making 220k
didn't pay my taxes Monday, frick the IRS
>reddit spacing
It's like you aren't even trying.
Already interning at a company doing EE work. Don't worry about me.
>AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh my god you're fricked.
Most of college is a meme but what what op is doing is not. Cope and seethe /k/tard.
This guy gets it. I wanted to follow in my grandfather's footsteps (he was an electrical engineer who handled radios on an aircraft carrier during Vietnam and then went on into the early hacking scene) he wasn't a no gun gay like my parents either. Not joining the navy or anything but I want to continue to learn what he was teaching me before he passed.
don't listen to that idiot. graduate. you will make 80k basically immediately with an ee degree if you are willing to move close to a few reasonable sized cities. I did chemical and it's cool to know science shit.
go buy a rifle small enough to fit (maybe disassembled) in a duffle bag or somewhere discreet. 16 inch upper and lower would be easy. just get creative with it and keep it on the down low until you move out.
lmao electricians dont make 80k
Electrical engineer and electrician are two very very different fields.
bad bait, do better
It's not a hard thing to sneak. I normally would not advocate disobeying your parents, but this is your own safety at stake and if they are failing their job you yourself are your only advocate.
Nah bro we're on borrowed time here. You really don't want to keep yourself waiting.
Being an EE you might know a welder or know how to weld. If so you can buy a 14.5" or 13.7" barrel and have the muzzle device welded to it for easier concealment and to still hit the 16" legal limit.
Yeah I do think that there is definitely a conflict coming in the near future. Shit looks bad and I want to be ready for it when it happens. Unfortunately my parents are those old school "the feds will take care of you" people. They don't get it and it hasn't ever been worth battling with them.
I know from experience too, no point in arguing with parents. Just try to find some way to get one without causing any conflict. Guitar case is always a good move, idk how nosy your parents are.
The dude is a moron don't listen to him. I'm EE also, currently getting my masters. Keep working hard so you can get a good paying job and buy as many guns as you want, that's what I did
Hey congrats man! I think I'll probably go for my masters and stop there. I hate research and the research side of engineering bores me. Much rather work in industry. Would like to work EE jobs in the middle of no-where for the National Weather Service or something like that.
>work EE jobs in the middle of no-where for the National Weather Service or something like that.
Based weatherbro. I used to wanna work there as a meteorologist but I realized I can't do calculus
You can always self teach weather prediction. All the models the NWS puts out give you enough data to make your own predictions. If you're motivated you can be an amateur meteorologist!
anons mocking you are moronic,
and
are correct. I have a buddy who graduated as an EE and just got his first job at NASA, already designing stuff that'll go into operational equipment.
Figured that I would get some friction on here regardless of what I said (I'm not Lord Miles by any means kek) I hope that EE is the right route, I really enjoy it and I think it will allow me to support a family later on down the road.
What are you going to college for? Also lie on your resume and take a bunch of bullshit do nothing WFH jobs if you can find some. Plus make sure you get your Pell Grant and if you're getting any first responder (or adjacent) degree, take out as much federal student loans as possible cause they forgive them on a 4 year cycle.
Shit what's a Pell Grant?
https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa
Now waste my tax money faster so I can enjoy the burn sooner, OP.
Put this shit in in fricking January. They just emailed me yesterday that it finally processed. The IRS and Department of Ed have all those employees and all those tax dollars but couldn't check paperwork in a reasonable amount of time.
If you rent somewhere you could keep your gun there. Don't bring your gun to your parent's house.
I have shitty parents too, I literally don't interact with them at all.
something about permission and forgiveness
Hahahaha just like my grandfather always said "when in doubt, shoot first and ask questions later."
leave it in your car
Locks are broke. Some dumbass will probably nick it.
Anon, be responsible, put some money into your car. Get those locks fixed. Maybe some tint, a spare tire on a rim. Maybe a CB radio setup. Moving and communicating are plenty tactical.
I like this suggestion. This is doable with my current resources and will allow me to contribute to the common defense in my area.
You can try and compromise by offering to buy a safe or even just a trigger lock (or a cable lock) and offer to give them the keys or let them keep the combination to themselves. It's not very dignified but such is life as a pleb with no property of their own. I would strongly recommend against getting it without their permission because you will not be able to use it or even have it without their knowledge. Anyway, guns are an expensive hobby so it might be worthwhile to wait a few years anyway.
God I feel like a dumbass. Gun safes might actually be an option for this. I'm going to end up jumping through more hoops to own a gun in my house than in New York City.
>in my house
It's your parents' house, homosexual. Move out.
parents house, parents rules. Don't like it? MOVE THE FRICK OUT!! YOU"RE FRICKING 18
!!!
>t. OP's dad
My Mom was like this a bit at first.
I took a local gun safety class taught by a local range and got a conceal carry license all before I owned a gun.
I also somehow convinced my Mom to take the class herself after I did. She actually liked it so much that she took a second follow-up training class.
After that, I was allowed to buy the pistol I wanted to keep in the house. I go to the range ever so often.
Make sure you display you are properly educated and take safety very seriously, and it should be easier for you. Also consider taking local skeet shooting classes.
That's actually good advice. My mom gave me shit for wanting a BB gun because she thought you had to have hunter's safety to own one. Maybe taking an actual class would cool her the frick off.
And then you’ve got my mom who got 18 year old me a .45 for graduation and had no problems getting handguns on behalf of under-21 year old me if I had the dough.
Well shoot turns out there's an indoor range near here that does classes. We might be in business fellas! Thanks for all the advice, both on the gun problem and on college funding!
I wish you all the best, OP.
Taking classes will show that you respect the weapon and you can also shoot without owning a gun and bringing one into your parent's house.
I want to be cuddled and headpatted by Mrs. Vincent.
Buy a gun when you move out and never tell your parents. Their house, they're allowed to tell you not to have a firearm while you live there.
Buy a 16in AR break it down and put it in a backpack with all you mags and ammo. If you're parents ask it's your porn or weed stash or whatever.
a friend of mine was in a similar situation and did this with a 10/22 takedown. except he had a big ass gaming computer he could hide it in.
>except he had a big ass gaming computer he could hide it in.
Your friend just gave me a great idea. Thank you.
>dad
>"no guns in my house"
did you mean to type "mom"? what the frick kind of guy doesn't want to protect his family? pussy
Shoot them, it's what the founding fathers would've wanted
Maybe move out instead of spending money on stuff you don't need.
Just buy one anyways and sneak it in. That's what my friend did. He parents forbade him as well, but he wound up buying a Mosin, m1917, and a Garand that he hides under his bed and cleans at my place. He is a musician, so he has a bag for a drum stand that he hides them in when taking them in and out of the house.
Also, how the frick? I leave this thread to die while I login to a work meeting and a bunch more people show up. Thanks for taking the time to put your two cents in fellas, but goddamn I thought the party was over!
Ask if they would be okay with you making your own, then get a black powder rifle kit or an 80% ar lower depending on their response.
You're a genius, making the firearm myself in my home workshop is the perfect way to get around it. Unfortunately, I'd definitely blow myself up.
Just buy one and hide it from them.
My sister in law lives at home and she's been hiding an AUG in a tennis racket bag for about 4 years now.
AUG in the tennis racket bag is hilarious, any way you can snag a photo of that???
Nah, she lives interstate (in Cali of all places so she even had to get my wife to gift her the gun since she was under 21 at the time).
And it's actually an RDB-C. I don't know why I wrote AUG, she's talked about that being her next gun but she hasn't bought it yet.
Is she single?
Just wait until you move out. Then tell them all about the cool new gun you bought and ask them if they want to go to the range and try it out themselves. Either they respect you and your interests, or they don't. When you don't live with them and are a real adult, you can tell them to frick off if they get mad about it. In the meantime, you live in their house so abide by their rules.
Yeah I think all the anons who have suggested I just wait are probably in the right. I'm going to try talking to them about it and bring up buying a gun safe but with the added expenses it would probably be better to just put the money towards tuition and move out sooner.
I just showed up one day with an AK. You live in their house though, and you're still a kid. You're gonna be a kid until you're at least like 20, and if you weren't you'd be out of the house by now anyway. So accept their rules, kid. It beats funneling money into the rent furnace.
Alternatively, get a shotgun and tell them it's a paintball gun or musket or something. Something that's nor a real gun, like a bean bag gun. They sound like morons so thru probably won't know. Don't even tell them, but if they find out just say "you wouldn't let me get a gun so I got a bean bag gun just for fun/home defense." It has to be a shotgun because normies don't even know what that is, and if they get butthurt it's cheap anyway. You can sell it or throw it in the trash.
just do it anyway and shut the frick up about it. if you're 18 they probably aren't searching your room, just hide it. if they flip shit, grab the rifle and walk out. They sound like shitty parents, let them stay defenseless.
>What do I do anons?
Move out
>but i can't afford it
Welcome to adulthood. Get a job& save your money for a cheap apartment with some roommates. Then get yourself a rifle
tell them that buying the rifle was a silly idea and promise not to buy the rifle while you're under their roof. then go build yourself a polymer 80 because you didn't say anything about pistols
just tell the gun store you're buying 9mm rounds for a carbine and they'll probably let it slide, or you can order it online and have it held at the ups/fedex place for pickup. I've never had an online ammo order ship with 21+ verification on it
>just tell the gun store you're buying 9mm rounds for a carbine and they'll probably let it slide
Cuck state detected. Gun stores shouldn't be asking questions when you're buying ammo.
this is gonna shock you but you can just wait it out a couple years and get your guns then. Like i know its not idea but a year or two doesn't make that much of a difference.
If you decide to sneak a gun into the house, wait at least 3 months so your parents forgot you asked.
Any other year I'd say you're right but these silly wars man....
I'm 35. Nothing ever happens.
Their house really their rules. They paid 120,000 tokens for a safe space and spruced it up nice for a further 50,000.
On the other hand, you want to pay 500 tokens for a fourthhand POS and spoil their effort of 20 years plus 170,000. They took such good care of providing your material needs you turned into a selfish POS.
Work for half a year, save all of it, make a down payment on a POS place to keep your POS gun and your POS self. Problem solved.
POS.
Use it as motivation to not be living with your parents
Move out, because ultimately it is your parents house and this their rules. As such suck it up for now, but remember this moment for the future.
>just turned 21
>still live with dad, but it's more of a roommate situation because i pay half of everything.
>been saving for a while.

my dad's not a liberal homosexual or anything. he was a gangster back in his youth and has PTSD lmao.
>Gangster dad called the cops on his own son
What a fricking snitch
ikr?? he got busted once and did some time and is now a complete b***h. lmao. i got an inheritance and the stipulation is that i have to help him out until he gets on his feet. we didn't have much of a relationship when i was a kid because he was in jail from the time i was 6 - 19.
he's a complete citizen now, he's got a somewhat successful business and that life is in the rear view according to him.
You should’ve “punked his ass” prison style
call him a homosexual snitch for me please
You do what everyone else with no guns democrat parents does, move out.
>No, I won't be moving out anytime soon so don't go there.
Then you will not have a rifle
I have the same situation as you, maybe even worse. I'm 21 and most people in my family were introduced to firearms at a young age and got their own except for me. I never was taught shit in my childhood because I grew up very sheltered. Just yesterday my Mom was surprised when I said I don't know how to filet a fish and said she was good at it yet forgets she never wanted to teach me.
In my household I know the most about firearms and have proved I'm very safe with them, even taught my Mom to shoot an AR at the range. I have a membership I pay each month to my local range to rent firearms and buy ammo. Still not allowed to have my own though. My Dad only has a stock Glock 19 he shoots once a year at most and thinks that gives him credibility on why I shouldn't have any kek. He himself didn't like when my state (Texas) passed Constitutional Carry. He's an absolute pussy who's been hesitant to teach me anything. He had to seriously convince my mother just to have his Glock in the house.
But I keep an AR and 2 handguns hidden away in my room. Going to get a 1911 later this year. If you can get a takedown rifle or handgun there's a lot of ways you can keep them hidden.
Really pisses me off that I never got to go hunting with him as a kid but he got to with his dad
>Texas
Are you hispanic?
White. Mostly Norwegian ancestry.
Your dad probably sucks with that glock and misses 80% of his shots and, therefore, has nothing TO teach you.
Airshit. Cope till move out
I'm 22 and live at home myself. My family's pretty cool. I managed to get some hunting guns and it was fine and dandy. Then I came home with a cheap Anderson AR. Worst I got was mom being like: "What do you need that for?" My ex cop father however thought it was pretty cool and examined it. Feels nice not to have a gay libshit family. Ended up trading that gun for a motorcycle. Got a decent PSA now.
>bought an ar15 when I turned 18
>parents found out a few years later when I was away in college
>they lost their shit and were pissed
>covid/race riots hit
>parents realized that having a way to defend yourself is not a bad idea
>parents now pro gun as frick
All is well that ends well I suppose.
I frickin hate people like that. Do some critical thinking. They literally cannot conceive of anything but bread and circus.
Im sorry you live with two lesbians
>No, I won't be moving out anytime soon
So wait.
>get a job
>move out
>buy guns, lots of guns, because i can.
>years later
>hey parents, i bought a gun a while ago
>Parents freak out
>actually its a ton of guns, here, check out my John Wick style pegboard wall full of guns. This is my closet with the rifles and cases of ammo too. It's taken me a few years to get this collection i think its great.
>Parents dont know what to think anymore.
>Oh actually I've been carrying a gun every day, even on the days I've been with you guys. I have one on me right now. Its absolutely just a normal part of my life lol.
this is why I'm afraid of telling anyone I know even the closest people to me. people just freak out and think you're psychotic. they all have hateboners for preppers and people who like tacticool stuff too. personally those aren't my thing but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I wish enjoying my hobby and living free wasn't so fricking political.
Move out and walk the land with your new rifle. You could vlog it.
Move out, their house their rules dipshit. It sucks but you just have to live with the fact that your parents are anti-gun homosexuals.
Hide it and bring it in while they're asleep, keep it hidden under your bed. How moronic are you? Most rifles can be taken down to be more compact. Figure it out moron.
In the same situation as you OP. Some guy got shanked on the bus route I take a few months ago. My parents would most certainly say no to keeping a gun in the house. I'm going to buy pic as its small and easy to hide in the router box.
Holy shit the thread is still live? Some of these posts are kino, I appreciate you all wasting keystrokes on me. Got my mom semi-onboard with the idea. My dad is out of town in DC so I have to wait until he gets back to finish the job. We might actually pull this one off folks!
Do you at least have your own income? If you do, just make sure you have lockable storage that your parents don't have access to. It's not the proper tool for the job, but a lockable desk drawer will work if you keep your mouth shut about the weapon.
Yes I work two jobs (paid internship for an engineering company and a side job at a greenhouse) make pretty good money doing it.
Going to assume you have your own bank account and possibly credit card, then. Do you have your own bedroom? If you do, do you have a desk and/or filing cabinet with locking drawers?
I feel bad for you.
when I was in college I bought a WASR10.
Brought it home. Went shooting with my mom in the back yard. Dad didn't bat an eye.
Nice triple dubs. How did you just shoot in your backyard? Did you have a big acreage or something?
>tell dad
America. None of their business but you didn't just your yap, welching on their 2A total defense obligations. Skeddaddle from these boomers asap.
Literally hide it.
ezpz
His house his rules. But your father is massive homosexual.
We have this thread every week and it always boils down to OP being a manchild that's hoping PrepHole will invoke some kind of magic that will make his problems go away without any effort.
Next time you come home, drop a Marine Corps recruitment pamphlet on the table and say "I ship out in a month."
When do you move out?
I wouldn't ask /k/. There's a fair number of people in here that would argue you should just move out. But, they always conveniently seem to forget how expensive the housing situation is; nevertheless renting, which is even worse. I'm not sure why your parents are so anal about having a gun in your house. I need more information.
>I'm not sure why your parents are so anal about having a gun in your house. I need more information.
Some boomer parents categorize 'gun' as a negative thing in their brain (smoking, weed, tattoos, nose piercings). They see you as some sort of deviant. Could also be a trust issue.
No one with a young offspring living in their house is a "boomer".
friend's boomer grandpa has a teenage daughter with a younger wife
Xoomer, but barely.
>What do I do anons?
1. Tell them not to have a fricking tantrum when you POLITELY ASK IF YOU CAN DO SOMETHING. Jesus fricking Christ, my parents are noguns, and when I asked if I could have guns in the house, they just said "nah, please don't", so I didn't. They didn't fly into a rage when asked a simple question because they reached mental adulthood four decades ago, something your parents are evidently struggling with despite being old enough to have an adult child.
2. Get a job, save money, and stop living under the same roof as a couple of homosexuals.
>>What do I do anons?
You grow up, you limp wristed c**t.
Build a compilation of the most graphic Breaking and Entering webms you can find online, rapes, murders, etc. Then put that on an uninterruptible loop on the living room tv before you leave for school or what ever. Make sure that half way through it switches to webms of homeowners with guns stopping the would-be rapist, murder robbers. Repeat as necessary.
Listen to your parents, if you want some meme rifle it's because you live somewhere safe where you're not in fear for your life. If you absolutely must buy the gun ask a mentally stable friend to hold it for you
Call your dad a pussy who lives his life in fear
Seems like waiting is going to be the proper course of action. Sucks living with the boomers but its as good as I can do. To the anon who suggested I fit my car with a radio: I am a licensed amateur radio operator and have plenty of radio equipment. Think I'll spend the next couple years perfecting those skills for the coming collapse. Anyone have any suggestions for training my firearm skills in the meantime? I have really limited experience with firearms but would like to get better.
This may sound cringe, but if you have 7 friends who might be interested in force on force stuff, realistic airsoft guns can be substituted for simunitions to get some squad-level practice. I would do it if my friends were interested, and I have heard Japs that do a bunch of airsoft tend to be pretty good with the real deal when they come to American rental ranges.
Oh god why didn't I think of this??? I get invited to local milsims all the time by friends but haven't had the chance to go. I should make the effort.
Just buy one, I bought an AR in college that I kept in a guitar case for years, my family only ever found out because I was out of town for a week and my little cousin wanted to try learning guitar but they didn't want to buy her one so they brought mine it over, wish I could have been there. They're pretty anti gun but the whole asking for forgiveness thing is true, especially since it didn't grow legs and start killing people.
Store it outside the house at a different family members house or a good friend? I kept guns at my buddys apartment when l was in the barracks
Just move out homosexual
If you're over 18 you never have the right to complain about things your parents won't let you do. You either do it and move out or accept that there are rules when you're sponging off someone else.
Move out of your parents house you freak.
t. 36yo NEET living with parents
Just hide it somewhere, a long gun is harder to stow away but a pistol and some extra mags and bullets are easy. Don't ask for permission like some child, just buy it. If you're that scared of your parents going through your stuff, just get yourself a horse dildo and put that into the top drawer. They ain't gonna search anymore after finding that.
The gay gambit? That's a new one.
I guess the question I have for everyone saying "hide it" is: how am I supposed to train my marksmanship? Its one thing to own a gun, another to be proficient at using it.
Obviously sneak it out and head to a range time to time.
baka
conceal carry
keep it in your car glovebox when you're at home or something
Grow up. Be a big boy and you can make your own rules. Or keep mooching off your parents and live under their thumb.
Get a job. Move out. Buy guns. Stop being lazy. Go to college and get a stem degree so you can work and rent an apartment.
See the rest of the thread. In the process of acquiring a STEM degree as we speak.
>No, I won't be moving out anytime soon so don't go there.
Sorry, but your real problem is not the toy you want to buy, it's that you're simultaneously entitled and weak. Stop being you.
You should kill them
>What do I do anons?
Gotta Troon out my friend. Go full-on troony and demand they accept you as their daughter.
Eventually, they'll BEG for you to take an interest in masculine activities again and buy you whatever weapon is required to save their bloodline.
Buy a glonk and hide it. I'm literally in a process of getting a glonk 19 illegally in Canada.
You move out. Quit being a homosexual.
Give me your address so I can break in and rob your house and rape your mom. Then your parents will see how necessary it is to have a gun in the house.
Keyed
Fricking hell the replies went downhill today.
Listen to your parents
keep it in your car
I feel bad for people in your situation, my parents are normie libtards and they were still totally fine with me having guns at like 16 lols
If you're 18 you now have rights. It's your house too if you live there. Tell them to kick sand, and go to the court house. Buy a lock for your door.
>>all I wanted was to buy an old school rifle
What were you planning on getting anyway?
