There are firearm advocates and then there are gun nuts.
The former might believe that by keeping a weapon in their home or even in their vehicle, they’re increasing their chances of defusing a potentially deadly situation.
The latter simply likes to walk around with a gun on them because they think it makes them look tough.
Guess which category David Eason falls into?
Yes, Jenelle Evans’ husband likes to flash his piece wherever he goes, even when he’s mostly surrounded by little kids.
What could possibly go wrong?
Angry Dave (MTV) David’s temper is well known to Teen Mom 2 fans. As is his infamous love of firearms.
A Dangerous Combination The presence of guns in the Evans-Eason household has created problems in the past, of course.
The Gun Show Most notable was the bizarre incident in which Jenelle chased a stranger to his house and threatened him with a gun, all while her son Jace was riding in the passenger seat.
Lesson Not Learned You might think that after an episode like that, Jenelle and David would learn a valuable lesson about publicly brandishing weapons in the presence of their kids. But no…
Jenelle Evans, Soccer Mom Earlier this week, the whole Evans-Eason clan attended Jace’s soccer game. And if you think they showed up unarmed, you don’t know Dave …
Jenelle On Game Day Jenelle posted an Instagram story in which she piled her whole family into the car, presumably so they could watch Jace take the field.
David’s Got a Gun The same video shows David getting out of the car with a holstered gun. Many of Jenelle’s followers believe he was proudly attending a children’s soccer game with a weapon.
What Timing The video emerges as Jenelle remains locked in a brutal legal battle with her ex-fiance Nathan Griffith over custody of her son Kaiser.
A Tool … But Not the Sharpest Tool But David seems unconcerned about the possibility that Jenelle might lose custody of her youngest son.
What, Him Worry? Of course, as we’ve learned so many times in the past, David doesn’t appear to be concerned with much of anything.
Seriously? After all, this is the guy who boasted that he and Jenelle have had CPS called on them 20 times in the past year.
What a Character (Witness) If Griffith’s attorneys are smart, they’ll put David on the stand during Jenelle and Nathan’s upcoming custody hearing.
Where to Begin? There are so many things they could ask David about: abuse allegations, rumors of hard drug use, and of course — the ongoing gun obsession.
Fun With Guns As you may recall, David posted this photo of Jenelle just after the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Florida back in February.
What Was He Thinking? To be clear, we have no political agenda here. There are millions of responsible gun owners who purchased their weapons for legitimate purposes. Out problem is that David isn’t one of them…
A Level-Headed Response When fans requested that David remove the photo out of respect to the victims and their families, the man absolutely went off.
Just the Worst David launched a tirade in which he hurled bigoted slurs at Teen Mom 2 fans. Eventually, he was fired from the show as a result of his words.
He Won’t Go Away But David refuses to just quietly slink back into obscurity. Instead, he’s continued to wage and endless social media battle against the people who made his wife rich.
We’re Sure It’ll Work Out Well For Him After all, in the battle against Teen Mom 2 producers and fans, David is holding [checks notes] absolutely zero cards. Good luck with that one, Dave!
