My Roommate Left His 6mm Pistol and A Glock on a Kitchen Counter

When you live in the Midwest, you are bound to run into Republicans somewhere. I live in a blue city but in a red county. Roommate 1 is also a Democrat. Roommate 2 is more indifferent. Personally I don’t feel comfortable around firearms and never have. I’m also from the city and he is from the country, and everyone from the country has a fucking gun of some sort. I’ve been around guns but I’ve never actually held one. <br><br>So roommate 2 works for a sheriff’s department and is training for SWAT. He has been practicing shooting with his 6mm pistol at night and I guess he left the gun and the Glock 19 he bought on the kitchen counter. The gun was literally just sitting on the counter right outside of my door. I had no idea it was there. If I had accidentally knocked it over and it went off in the kitchen I would have no idea how to unload it. I know it’s not illegal to have a gun in your home in the kitchen, but I just wish I had been told it was there. Roommate 1 was also unaware. <br><br>Later in the day I told Roommate 2 it’s disrespectful to put a gun in plain sight and that he has no right to make me feel unsafe. This resulted in him calling me a “snowflake liberal” and he’s telling me I’m the one who is being inconsiderate because I’m impeding on his right to bear arms. I told him that’s bullshit. He’s the one being inconsiderate. I told him I don’t care if he has a gun, but he should let me know it’s there so I don’t accidentally discharge it. I don’t know anything about guns. Also doesn’t he have a safe? Later in the day Roommate 1 told me that Roommate 2 basically accused me of being a “pussy” for being afraid of guns. Roommate 1 said that Roommate 2’s dad is very conservative and has been influenced by his dad. <br><br>I told Roommate 1 I don’t give a fuck that Roommate 2 has been influenced by his dad. Roommate 2 is 22 years old. He is an adult. If he was influenced by his dad to the point of making remarks like that, he has a fucking problem. <br><br>Roommate 1 told me that Roommate 2 was “sorry” and that I shouldn’t worry about it. Roommate 2 doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong. I refuse to talk to Roommate 2 until he fucking apologizes. I don’t want to be in the same room as him. <br><br>For Roommate 2 to basically call me a pussy for expressing that I don’t want to feel unsafe, is utterly disrespectful. The fact that he left a fucking gun sitting in plain sight is not only inconsiderate but also potentially harmful. <br><br>Today, Roommate 2 “apologized” and said it “won’t happen again” but he refused to acknowledge that it’s not my fault I don’t know a thing about guns and that it’s not unreasonable for me to feel unsafe. He basically acted like I’m the one who did something wrong. Also he’s still making remarks that only a conservative would say. He’s saying shit like “I’ll never let anyone take away my right to bear arms”. Who the fuck is trying to? Also why do you need a fucking gun? What if you discharge that shit in the kitchen by accident? What if you shoot me or Roommate 1 by accident? <br><br>This is so fucking ridiculous.
