OT: "So, you want to date my daughter"...

Thanks to everyone for the tips. As a new daddy of a beautiful baby girl, I have made extensive notes for future application!
 
Back in my daughters early dating days I always made it a practice to meet their suitors on their first date and have a short friendly chat with each young man. I would work the conversation around to the the subjeact of the shooting world. If the young man was a shooter I invited him to go to the range with my daughter and me at his earliest convenience where I allowed him to see our proficiency in the use of firearms and me to see his. If the young man was not a shooter I made the same suggestion and used the opportunity to try to bring another shooter on board. Over a period of about 5 years I managed to bring 6 non-shooters into the fold and cull about the same number of potential trouble makers.

So far so good. Both young ladies completed college and now employed in the big city with no evidence of any ND's. :D

RKBA!
 
Late last school year, my son's in seventh grade, and girls are starting to be much more noticed. He's one of the bigger kids in class despite being one of the youngest, voice had deepened, now stinks when he sweats, all that stuff.

One morning at breakfast, I hand him the local suburban weekly, which had printed a version of "So, you want to date my daughter", and say "Read this."

When he got done, I said "My peers, the dads of the girls you're going to be dating, see you like this. Exactly like this. Maybe worse. Deal with it and act appropriately with those girls."

He didn't say much, but he sure didn't disagree. I think he got the message. I hope so, I don't like dealing with pissed off dads.
 
My high-school sweetheart took me home to meet her parents. I got an interesting line from her father. He stated simply that if I hurt her, he would bury whatever was left of me when his daughter got through. I was quite confused and asked what he meant. The next thing I knew I was on the ground seeing stars with several of my key pressure points being painfully violated. Turns out he was just standing there laughing, my sweetheart had taken several years worth of self-defense classes. Needless to say, I never touched anything I was not invited too after that. She did however become profifcient at massaging my sore spots wherever they were.... :eek:doh! :eek:, Too Much Information.....

I thought I'd seen it all, until a 22WMR spun a bunny 2 1/4 times in the air!
 
Then there was the time when my date's father turned out to be the pharmacist from whom I'd bought condoms earlier that afternoon.
 
Not having any chillins, I am a "Uncle" of my gunsmith's daughter. We were at a shoot one year and some of the boys there were following Katie around. Several of her "Uncles" collected a few of the boys and asked their intentions toward Miss. Katie. She could not figure why they were not quite as ardent after that. ;)

The Rock will now bestow on you 'Gentlemen' words of wisdom passed to me by a retired Master Chief Quartermaster.

"No man likes any man who crawls between his daughter's legs"

He's right.

I never had any Dad of any girl that I dated/pursued/slept with try that kind of stuff as mentioned previously in this thread.

Of course, when I show with my G30 on my hip and some kind of politically incorrect shirt on, they just say 'Hi'.

They only talk sh!t when The Rock is not around.

I wonder why....

This thread is prescisly the reason I can't have kids.
 
In my youth I understood that the correct answer to "Have my daughter home by eleven thirty!" was "End of November sounds about right."

I've gotten much wiser since then.
