I'm the pensive looking one on the left. That's me. I'm doing serious business in there. Look at me go.

im torn

a) i like living somewhere where a violent gun murder nearby isn't an almost guarantee

but also

Mb) guns are kinda badass

guns are kinda very badass and shooting them is cool + fun

I just don't get why when you get up in the morning every day you gotta be like "today is the day I may be in a combat situation where I need my handgun + serrated edge pocket knife like if my local sysadmin disagrees with me and I need to get in a close range gun battle where eventually I get close enough to gut his loving throat" y'know?

like what is the point?

it's a status accessory. they find weapons aesthetically appealing. i'm sure there's some element of "heh if some punk/thug tries poo poo with me i'll be ready :smugdog:" but i bet they're even more excited about the possibility of meeting a fellow weapons enthusiast and being able to show off and establish social status e.g. "look, i haev nice gun" "oh yes very nice" "why thank you"

i only carry keys, wallet, chapstick, and phone. how the hell is anything more necessary than that? why do people have multiple knives and who the gently caress just carries usb cables around with them. or a camera and a phone.

is it possible to fit that much poo poo on one body without just putting it all in a bag?

You can do that in non-open carry states, i.e. Texas.

Though I think Texas became an open carry state as of a few days ago.
