We’ve all had times when we’ve done something that we’ve regretted. Maybe we were just really tired and not thinking straight and said something to our spouse that we really regretted. Or maybe we had a bad day at work and yelled at our kids when we got home. Or maybe we just made a bad decision at the store and bought something that that we didn’t need with money that we didn’t have which caused us stress from our screwed up home budget.
We’ve all been there.
But there is one kind of screw up that we never want to be involved in, and that is a screw up involving a gun.
Look, I love being a gun owner, and I think that everyone should, at the very least, consider owning and training with their firearm for self-protection. I’ll go further and say that I think that most people should actually own and train with their firearm (not just consider it).
But, for the love of all that’s holy, don’t be the gun-toting idiot that we see in today’s story. Abril Elfi writes,
An angry customer has shot a Michigan Chipotle employee after a dispute over guacamole.
In videos shared on social media, the 32-year-old suspect can be seen taking out his firearm and pointing it at the 21-year-old employee who tried to stop him from leaving the store.
Yes, a dispute over guacamole.
Now, I like Chipotle, and I love guacamole as much as the next person (maybe, more. My wife won’t touch the stuff.), but shooting someone over it? No. It’s simply not worth that kind of response, especially when I can buy some more for a couple of bucks.
I mean, if money’s that tight, should you even be eating at Chipotle anyway instead of eating double cheeseburgers across the street at Burger King for a fraction of the price?
But, no, apparently, something about guacamole incited this guy to pull a gun and shoot someone.
Unbelievable.
Yes, own a gun. Yes, train with it and carry it daily. But don’t shoot someone unless you’re trying to prevent grievous bodily harm to yourself or someone else. Guacamole isn’t worth someone’s life.
