    You believing that your country is so unsafe that you need to have a weapon on you at all times, that’s political as fuck, even if you conceal it.

    Hell, the second you have to bend to pick up something you’re not fooling anyone anymore, we all know you’re carrying.

      Umm yeah we live in a society so I guess every action is political from that perspective. I worked as a firefighter for several years. I know the response times for police and fire/ems and they aren’t that good.

      Appendix solves a lot of this. Printing can happen but a ton of it is easily avoided

        Yeah, being a first responder really changed my perspective on a lot of “safe” areas" and how far help is.

        When you have one lone deputy in your entire county for a good portion of the night (and frequently only 2-3 cars during the day), and state is just on call, not patrolling… you can easily be 45 minutes out from LEO, that’s been a very long wait before…
