    Dad shows a gun to show OP he’s a badass. Op doesn’t realize and shows his gun.

    Common American culture is that you’re supposed to show your gun on the third date with the family, not the first. You’re also supposed to have a Mexican standoff when you walk into the house, with dad aiming at you, you’re aiming at dad, dog aims at GF, etc. And if he’s lucky, they have a rousing game of Russian roulette before tapas.

    Totally understandable if you didn’t know. Just basic 2A knowledge every American learns about during elementary school.
