Today, while meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time, her dad made a big show of cleaning his rifle, before loading it, taking aim, and blowing the hell out of a hornet's nest at the back of the yard. I fear for my life. FML

You should fear for your life only if you use your stinger on his daughter. Or if you wear a yellow jacket. That wouldn't be wise.

That's when you tell him what guns you have and offer to go shooting with him sometime

Who the hell cleans a gun right before they shoot it?

You are scared for what reason? Grow a pair bro.

Pretty sure that's what he meant to do

Almost the exact same thing happened to me, except he shot a metal plate. Don't worry man, I had my revolver then and I just shot all targets he had up, impressed him and my girl. Do something "manly" in a sense, like buy a gun and go shooting with him, or hunting, fishing, anything to show him that you can get you're hands dirty but still treat his daughter well.

annoying when people say "treat her like a princess",what is she 5 years old??

My dad did the same thing with my husband except it was a sniper rifle and he head shot a deer from the roof of our barn then pointedly told him. " I was an army sniper. All I need is a rooftop and a mile." My husband is the only boyfriend my father didnt scare off with that stunt. Its their way of making sure the guys intentions are sincere

If you let a lower class thug bully you like that you'll never be happy. Don't let him think his daughter is some untouchable goddess, she's just as flawed as anyone else and he needs to learn that.

It's a father saying "if you're planning to hurt her, she's not alone, I will make you pay." Classic intimidation to make a guy think twice about not treating the girl with courtesy.
