Entitled Dad Is Furious His Son Needs Permission To Hold Gun

It is definitely an interesting — and bizarre — reversal of fortune for an angry parent to demand that their kid be allowed to hold a gun without their permission. Redditor u/MidnightExpress13 took to r/EntitledParents to tell this strange story from a heritage festival in which a teenager approached the original poster and asked about holding a specific gun best known from the Tom Selleck movie "Quigley Down Under," that both he and the OP knew well. Our original poster said he didn't mind the teenager holding the gun but just asked that he get a parent's permission first — leading to this weird situation where the kid's father was mad that he needed his father's permission in the first place. What?

Hey, the inner workings of entitled people are a beautiful, horrible mystery. He was going to let his son hold the gun anyway but took ridiculous exception to the fact that he even had to be asked. The dad just made things...tense for no reason. It actually seems like this story worked out pretty well, in spite of the angry father. For another tale of wild parental entitlement, here are some entitled parents who lost it over a parking spot and got towed.
