He used to bring his gun everywhere even to the beach. He told me about his bad breakup with his previous girlfriend. He pulled a gun on her when she got into a fight with him and she moved out and left him. I stopped dating him after he told me the story. Luckily I was just coming off a divorce and told him I needed to heal before embarking on a new relationship. He was ok with my explanation. I would see him from time to time because he lived up the street from me. I kept things cordial but inside I was scared shitless of him.
