A Florida father was arrested over the weekend after pulling an AR-15 rifle on an Uber driver who dropped his daughter off at his home, according to deputies.

    Hollonbeck admitted to his actions and said he was “afraid for his daughter’s safety and didn’t know who she was with or that she had left without permission,” according to the report.

    Oh, well if he didn’t know then it’s perfectly understandable to point a gun at an underpaid taxi driver.

      I thought pointing guns at people who you thought wanted to sleep with your daughter was something out of bad jokes and old movies. Apparently not.

        I had a old Co worker who told this story… When he was a teenager/early 20s he had several guns and was a member of the gun range. One day he went shooting and came home. Like a good gun owner started cleaning his guns when there was a knock on the door.

        He held the shot gun he was holding over his should, several more from pistols to rifles on the table and answered the door.

        Unknown to him his younger sister had a first date that night, and he was here to pick her up. Needless to say she was home before curfew and was a complete gentleman to her.

      This is why it’s so important to have AR’s at arms reach, who knows how this situation could have ended up had he not been armed.
