TEEN Mom 2 alum Jenelle Evans’ husband David Eason was slammed by fans for carrying a gun on his property with his kids.
The 33-year-old was spotted with the gun in Jenelle’s recent YouTube video blog.
Last week, Jenelle, 30, took to YouTube to share a video that documented the family’s “triple sleepover.”
Jenelle explained that the kids in their family each had a friend come over for a sleepover so “everyone had a little friend to play with.”
About 17 minutes into the video, David was seen with a gun strapped on the side of his belt as he spent time outside with Jenelle, her mom Barbara and the Teen Mom 2 alum’s oldest son Jace, 12.
The family appeared relaxed as they spoke to the pre-teen about his haircut, though fans couldn’t help but notice David was casually carrying a gun on him.

‘WHAT THE F**K?’
MTV fans took to Reddit to point out the gun, with the initial user writing: “I swear I wasn’t watching Jenelle’s vlog or anything, but why the f**k does David need a gun when he’s on his property with kids?? Plus kids that were just over for a sleepover…what the actual f**k.”
Others agreed that David shouldn’t have been carrying the gun around the kids.
One person wrote: “I hate him. Everyone else has already said why he carries it. I’m just here to point out that the fact he puts his hand high up on his waist to avoid the gun is sending me. Lookin’ sassy, David!”
Another added: “It’s called fragile masculinity. I’m all for owning guns for protection, if that’s your thing. BUT the need to constantly be packing even when your on your lawn, especially with children around is alarming and weird.”
A third chimed in: “Makes so much sense why mtv was scared to film around him. I wouldn’t go near that hillbilly with a gun.”
While one person called him a “douche,” a following Reddit user commented: “What kind of parents allow their kids to spend the night at David and Jenelle’s house??
“It isn’t the kids fault, but if my kids wanted to say there it would be one of those ‘why don’t you have them over here sweetie?’”
An additional critic wrote: “I am very pro-gun, and own several. But I will never understand people like this who feel the need to wear them EVERYWHERE.
“I have a friend that wears his around the inside of his home. It just seems overkill,” they added.
GUN HABIT
The YouTube video is not the first time David has been spotted with a gun around his house.
Back in October, David’s gun was clearly visible in a Boomerang post Jenelle shared from the inside of their shed.
The Teen Mom 2 alum posed at the front in an animal-print bikini, while her husband stood behind her painting a wall white.
She captioned the brief clip: “My shed is almost complete
Yes I’m painting in a bikini cuz it’s hot af.”
Critics wondered why David would need to carry a gun at home – especially since their daughter Ensley, five, and Jenelle’s two other kids Jace and Kaiser, seven, live with them.
One asked on Reddit: “Who needs to carry a gun that much? I can’t imagine needing to feel like at any time I’d have to draw down on someone at my home.”
Another added: “The fact that he’s strapped while they’re alone and painting… dude does way too f**king much and I’d be scared if I were Jenelle.”
DAVID’S PAST
David has a long history with guns and was fired from Teen Mom 2 after he shot and killed Jenelle’s dog in 2019.
Back in April, he sparked outrage after threatening to “smack” Ensley for her claims that he killed a baby chick.

In September, David killed and ate the family’s pet goat Elvis, who they had reared from birth.
The reality star, who previously called the goat “my baby,” then posted a graphic image of Elvis’ severed head in the trash.
