TIFU by instinctively shooting a truck

I’m expecting my first little one this winter and am very excited. I haven’t decided on a name yet, but I am feeling really strongly about one in particular. I told my mom about it last night and she clearly did not like it at all. She didn’t even try to hide her disgust, which got me really upset. I told her she was being hurtful and hung up on her.

Today, she sent a History Channel article to the family group chat about a Spanish conqueror who in the 1300s tortured hundreds of Irish people. The conquerors name was the one I brought up to her last night. She had the audacity to claim that she “saw it on the News app and thought it was intriguing.” The article was from 2013.

I don’t even know what to think of this. I’m very upset and feel like she is completely ruining this name for me. Anyone dealt with anything similar?

EDIT: I’ve had enough glasses of wine to doll out the name I’m considering. It’s Cidrick (like El Cid) haha

OP's profile is filled with contradictory creative writing exercises.

Not that I believe op, but for some reason it's a shared reddit account

Total shitpost.

When was the last time you saw a competition target that looked like the Target Store logo?

Well you were right about one thing.

I don’t think every Joe (or Jane) Shmo should have a firearm

Maybe it's time to learn a new hobby like stamp collecting or chess.

OMG you feel stupid? Maybe carrying a gun should be off the table when you are tired so there isn't a next time. Take this as a lesson and learn from it.

It's alright, in about 3 years you'll be free albeit you will probably still feel stupid about it.

in this right here is why we shouldn't just allow everybody to carry guns in the United States.

I get muscle memory, but you're saying that you draw your competition gun from the same holster as your concealed carry with the safety in the same place? Sound likely...

If you knew anything about guns you know that what you did would be a felony. Which would make you a felon. Which means you can't own any guns.
