I Love Living in Arizona

From a thread at AR15.com:

My son turned 11 last week, so Saturday afternoon we took him and a bunch of his friends to the local pizza joint / video arcade. A nice way to spend the afternoon….the adults sit around, eat pizza, drink beer and BS while the kids play video games.

Late in the afternoon I was wandering the arcade and found my son playing one of the shoot ’em up games with the tethered pistol that you “shoot” at the video screen. My son was really getting into the game and started holding the pistol sideways – gangsta style. My first reaction as I walked up was to say “Stop that. You know better.”

The mother of one of his friends looked at me and asked “Is he not allowed to play violent games? I don’t allow MY children to play them.”

I replied, “Sure, he can play them, but he’s not allowed to have bad form. Son, square up your stance, use both hands, and don’t cross your thumbs.”

She was still spluttering when I walked away.
