Room Mates Part Deux

I drink frequently, and when I have friends over we hang out by the bar, or out back by the grill.

During the college years, however, I (vaguely) remember people "crashing" everywhere. We used to go through KEGS like dirty underwear, and there'd be couples randomly scattered around the house/apartment/condo (depending on where the party was) at all hours. Massive acres of carpet were ruined. Sheets weren't changed, MATTRESSES were. Bathtubs were used for the storage of ice and beer. The refrigerator contained zero vegetables, and was well stocked with pizza boxes, chinese food cartons, and wine coolers for the ladies. Shoes on the furniture was o.k. The first guy to fall asleep lost his eyebrows to warm shaving cream and a razor. Any rectangular box-like structure qualified as a T.V. stand. At least 3 people vomited before the party was over. The police would make a minimum of one visit every third party, prematurely ending the festivities, and giving us all something to talk about until the next one.

Theres as much difference between your average mature adult having friends over for a barbecue, and the days of kegstands, blaring music, and general drunken stupidity.

Granted, your parties might involve tupperware and Chablis, but if you are the average college guy, then I somehow doubt it.

I'm gonna say they were somewhere in between;)
 
Black out drinking and loaded firearms in your house don't mix. Wait until you get the diploma and some maturity.

I think having firearms for recreational shooting stored is fine, just not in a home defense capacity. That means ammo separate until the weekend or whenever.
 
I really don't understand the blanket dismissal of the idea. Not all college age studends navigate life with a beerbong surgically implanted to their face.

It's possible to own/secure firearms living with room mates; even college age room mates. It only takes some thought and discretion.

Why not? Thats what college is for. :D

In my peak years at NYU, with a healthy diet of beer, weed, amphetamines, two jobs, a girlfriend and all the sanzzle and panazzle of NYC I managed to keep that beerbong implanted and pull a 3.9 GPA at a time when ya had to earn it...

Discipline! You are young! Work hard and play hard before your belly takes over.!!!!

This is how I feel about it as well. This is also why I thought this thread deserved a bit more discussion.

Just to be clear, this thread isn't about ME. I managed to live through it. I am just posting about it, now, 10 years later.

No human could possibly survive such a lifestyle whilst maintaining a 3.9 GPA, and no human could have such a black coal heart to take a torch to an HK. Aliens are among us!!! :p :D
