This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean yeah, funny greentext, fake and gay and all, but is that an actual thing that happens across the big pond?

If someone did that in Europe they'd be in serious legal trouble if the threatened party sues.

Sounds legal overall for America. "Brandishing" is generally illegal, i.e pulling out your gun and pointing it at or actively threatening someone with it, regardless if you fire it.

Pulling out your legal gun in your home and setting it flat on your table? Hard to argue it was a threatening without a stated threat or some other action. It may have been one, but id be suprised if anyone would arrest someone over that.

OP pulling his own gun does make this a hilarious and potentially deadly situation. It's very possible the father is a scared pissbaby and just starts blasting.
