Is it impolite/rude to ask someone if they've ever had to shoot someone else?
Here's why I ask.
I was at a friends house yesterday watching football when it came up somehow that not only was I in the army at one point, but I also currently carry a firearm. The friend who's house I was at let it slip at some point or another (he knew because I won't go in someone's house without telling them.)
So I'm sitting there, trying to enjoy the game when someone's girlfriend says "So, I bet you've had to kill someone before right? That's why you carry the gun around in case you have to do it again?"
Of course my first thought was if I can leave my pregnant wife at home to enjoy football why did you bing your D.S. girlfriend?
I very calmly answered that "I didn't see as to how it was A) any of her business and B) thought the question was quite rude considering the environment and the relationship, or lack there of, that I had with her."
She got real quiet and I could almost see her boyfriend make the decision to break up with her when they got home. (Maybe not that bad, but he was certain P.O.'d at her).
Any other similar stories?
