Oh man, I got some stories about them. John is one of the most colorful guys I have ever met.
I came over one day to his house. He answered the door, and told him I saw some sort of varmit like a possum that I can't remember exactly at this time scurry off from his walkway to his house. He slams the door in my face, and comes back less than 60 seconds later holding a pistol that had been used by navy seals at one point. I was coming over to see his daughter, and I thought, welp, this is it for me I guess. He owns lots of land, my family will probably never find my body. And even if they do find my body, he's a kickass lawyer so he'll probably make it look like it was an accident or already has a gun with my fingerprints on it that he'll plant on me.
He goes, "where did you see that son of a *****.", and I just pointed because I'm still trying to process what is going on and wondering what the afterlife is like.
He looks over and sees it and just starts blasting it super close to me. My ears were ringing, casings were hitting me and I thought what the hell is going on.
He looks at me, and says something like "That son ***** has been bothering me for weeks. Thank you. <Smiles a huge smile at me.> Now how can I help you?"
"Well, sir, I was here to take _____ ( his daughter) out on a date."
His face drops.
Did I tell you that this gun was what the navy seals use?
"Yes sir. Did you have a military supplier or something like that that you bought it from."
"No, it's not same TYPE of gun that the Navy Seals use, it's the SAME gun the Navy Seals used. One of them gave it to me personally. It's killed dozens of people in far off places. Would make quite an impressive list….<long pause>.
<looks me in the eyes>
Don't make me add to the list.
<I gulp>
Yes, sir.
