She’s Strapped
File this under It’s Not Your Father’s Dating Scene: Brandon calls me after his first date with Kira because he wanted to know if he should be worried about something he noticed. As Kira was getting into her car, Brandon spotted a firearm in her handbag. He wasn’t sure if she had it on her the entire evening or not but it definitely was a gun. She didn’t notice that he saw the gun so they sort of just said goodnight and parted ways.
He asked me if I had a gun (no, not yet) and if it was normal for single women in Atlanta to take a gun on a date. I’m all for protecting yourself as long as you do it responsibly and legally, especially women! I didn’t think it was a red flag, per se, but I told Brandon to definitely talk to her about it. She may have strong opinions about it. Oh, and I also told him to try not to tick her off.
What do you think? Would you be bothered if someone you were dating carried a weapon for protection? If it’s not related to their occupation, would you be ok with them carrying a concealed weapon when you go out?
Have you ever been out with someone and noticed they were carrying a gun? What did you do?
If you are a gun owner, do you mention this fact to people you are dating? How do you broach the subject?
Could a pro-gun person and an anti-gun person co-exist in a relationship?

never lend with the intentions of DEFINATELY getting it back
Dream_n it’s called a loan. Lending. Not giving. If you know you can’t or have not intentions of paying it back, just so say. Ask the person if they can help you out. Don’t take money in the name of a loan and knowing you will not repay.
Your word is your bond.

“Your word is your bond.” The first time I posted that, some actually disagreed with me. Too funny! The character of the person showed themselves to me right then! I definitely agree with you!

Why do I get sucked into these things time and time again… hilarious…
Raqi…
Speaking from my experience…If I lend.. sorry loan money to anyone… I only loan money if I can stand to lose it. a 20 here maybe 40 or 50 there, but if I have to choose between bill money and a loan… I’ll pay my bills.
Chill I didn’t take your money
DK: lmao… u wrong

Infamous people should just ask for it and not call it a loan.
See yeah you give it knowing they will not give it back, but it kills the level of trust that I have in a person when they do not at least try to pay it back. I took their word.

I don’t care if it is $3. If you say you will pay it back then you are obligated to do so. Let me be the one tell you that’s okay. Keep it. Other than that you owe me my money.
It’s the principle of the thing.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably a wise investment.

All I know is if he owed me money..depending on the amount is the level of pisstivity. 20 dollars its a wash. 200 I may have to call my cousins. 2000 and he is missing for good. LOL. Seriously though Blog Reg..you may have to cut your loss and charge it to the game. I will leave you with this little message..if someone does you a evil turn just know eventually they will have to make good on that evil. Seven times over.

“All I know is if he owed me money..depending on the amount is the level of pisstivity.” That’s where I am with it.
I doubt he will slither from behind the keyboard any time soon, if ever again. Fortunately, I have a legal remedy to the situation and will be dealing with it in that manner.

Then Melo call him and tell him that somebody put him on blast on the blog about their money and that he should call that person to square up because he is certainly not answering my calls. Although, I don’t need another lie about it anyway.
