. Sweet talking usually doesn't work with them and they are additionally irritated by some over spending on credit cards.
I like the idea about trying to prove that I'm a safe firearms owner. I did pass hunters ed and have the little orange card from that. I wish It wasn't a two hour drive to the range though, that might make it a bit difficult to show my competency.
Well....... I don't want to throw any kinks into things here, but;
1.) You're living on Mom and Dad's dime.
2.) You're over-spending on Mom and Dad's credit card.
3.) You have bought a rifle that Mom and Dad don't approve of.
Just a shot in the dark here but, the rifle wouldn't happen to be what you purchased that caused the over-spending on the credit card thingy would it?
The fact that you're 23, living on their dime, and they have hired a "Life Coach", tells me your parents are liberals. The fact that "they don't approve of the gun" almost told me they were liberals, until you threw the credit card situation into this scenario.
-- If as I'm guessing, you probably went out and bought "The Gun" on their credit card, they probably have a right to tell your life coach to take the gun.
-- If you didn't buy the gun on their credit card; why are you living, (and over-spending), on their credit card, if you can afford to buy "The Gun"??
-- The fact that you're on here whining to a bunch of conservative gun nuts about your "Helicopter Parents" ordering your "Life Coach" to take "The Gun", when you only have 19 posts, and 7 of them are in this thread at time of this post, leads me to believe that Heretic is probably calling this one right.
-- If not... it's very likely that you have already proved yourself irresponsible in purchase of the weapon, when your parents are supporting you, especially if purchasing the weapon is in any way related to the over-spending on the credit card. Which the fact that your "Helicopter Parents" asked your "Life Coach" to take the gun at all, is indicative that that may be the case.
