😅 Man, didn’t even need to bring [LockPickingLawyer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rGvb2yYh1M) into it (basically every such type “gun safe” he reviews is a POS you can crack by giving it a mean look) Lemme guess: a Wish customer? If he doesn’t get his money back he should give it to the kid as a toy box, in compensation for being a product tester (and good thinking to actually test the product with the intended beneficiary) ---

An armed society is a polite society. He was being very polite in disagreeing so lesser charges should be assessed. Now if he went at him with a tire iron, well that is attempted murder since a tire iron is never polite. ---

> The man who brought the gun has been banned from all MTJFL events, and **police are determining if charges will be filed.** Emphasis mine: Why is this even in question? The guy should have been arrested right there and taken to jail. He pulled a gun at a little kids’ football game. Seriously?!!? ---

A few of us had to spend the weekend off in Tennessee once for work with a car full of gas. Tour Jack Daniels Distillery? Sure, why not. Get a case of beer for the road trip? Sure, why not. Drive around on the back roads on the way back? Sure, why not. The next monday morning at the plant we were told by the locals “You shouldn’t be doing that.” And they didn’t mean drinking and driving. ---
