      Why do I get the feeling they’re hoping the gun will go off and then they can get their bottom surgeryreconstruction covered?

        That’s pretty common actually. It’s called IWB CC (Inside Waist Band Concealed Carry). There’s also AIWB (Appendix Inside Waistband), sometimes just called Appendix carry. The big issue is that it’s not inside a holster. The holster gaurds the trigger so that an ND is more difficult. Holsters also have retention so you’re less likely to have a gun drop, where the gun falls off your person unexpectedly.

      Came to comments to say the same thing. Had a friend put a bullet through his thigh. The bullet was stopped by his knee-cap. He had his 9mm tucked in his belt. He was hiking and stumbled in rough terrain in the middle of nowhere. It was tucked more to his side, so at least his dick wasn’t at risk…he said the helicopter ride was fun though!

    Everyone keeps talking about gun safety but I’m just wondering if Foot Locker is still in business and if they let employees carry

    Brandishing is illegal. Unless you intend to kill whatever you are pointing a firearm at, don’t pull it out or give away that you are armed.

      The question “are you male or female” in any convo outside a medical screening is also rude (and kind of a poor question in that context). The question framing is also explicitly hostile towards not-binary identification, as it’s assuming that the person’s biological sex matters more than their own self-perception.You should instead just ask their pronouns or how they identify.

      It’s passive aggressiveness responded in kind with passive aggressiveness. The questioner also keeps pushing, so the gun is a very explicit and aggressive “BTFO and let me live my life, stop trying to force me into one of your boxes”

          No, hostile is exactly the word. These are not tactless mistakes - no one is living under a rock and unaware of the conflict of gender. They’ve either digested transphobic rhetoric and accepted it or they’ve understood the obtuseness of the binary and course corrected. Frankly, if you haven’t course corrected, you deserve hostility from the trans community imo.

          The only reason someone would be asking what sex you are is if they are wanting to play cloak and dagger romance, where you never state your intentions and still somehow expect to get into the other person’s pants. That’s not a healthy way to romance and never was, and is likely a big reason for why such a large proportion of people get sexually assaulted in the US.

          The issue of trans people in sports is a bullshit non-issue and has been for a while. It is exclusively a talking point to try and get laymen to agree that trans people should be regulated. It’s conclusion is the policing of all women’s bodies. It’s already been debunked to the moon and back, so if you don’t give a shit enough to even look up how stupid your claim is, You don’t deserve any amount of respect or tact in this conversation.
