He was bothered by Rick from the get-go "I saw you two" "we are trying to hold on to what we have" and he is constantly drinking when we see him. The mother even comments on it at the party and he snaps at her that he will get it, it being a drink.
I'm not saying that's what I think is happening, I merely said that it wouldn't surprise me. I never said that he wanted the gun for Pete either. All I'm saying is that none of us have any idea what is happening inside Sam's house. Is there another person we don't know about? Wouldn't be the first time.

You are all probably right. Sam and his Mom are getting abused by the drunken father and Carol and Rick are gonna go and take him out. I just find the fact that we haven't seen evidence of it unusual. We all know this show has no problems with showing violent behaviour. Surely they would have shown him being abusive to them both to justify Carol and Rick's reaction.

Oh well, we'll find out soon enough.
