        Not OC, but I don’t doubt it. I’ve seen several people strapped with guns walking around their suburban home in my very red state. I saw a guy with a pistol clipped to his gym shorts getting the mail once, just dangling around, falling lower with every step. 2A bros are terrified of everything and panic without an emotional support weapon

          When I was a kid, we had a neighbor that would sit on the beach with a shotgun in his lap, to watch kids playing in the lake

        Oh it’s real. I used to have a neighbor who would mow with a massive revolver on his belt, and no shirt

          if it weren’t so dangerous i’d have loved to see that picture. I get the feeling his revolver was competing with his belly for size. am i right? I’m just guessing cuz if i had a six-pack i wouldn’t want the gun distracting anyone.

            Surprisingly no! He was more of the stick-skinny, probably into meth, cut off jean shorts and boots kinda guy

        My neighbor is a decent man. I like him. We differ greatly politically but we can have a conversation and find common ground against the rich. My neighbor is not a racist. My neighbor is not a caricature.

        My neighbor wears his gun to walk from his porch to mine to talk. And our houses are literally fifteen feet apart.

          I bet you want to make a comment on it but you can’t. I know my mind wants to come up with a question and can’t. Frankly it seems more likely the gun is there as a conversation piece than anything else like a tattoo.

          Have you complimented his gun? I’m so curious!

        Sorry, a week later, but yes I have never seen the man without a gun on his hip. Why? Well, my suspicion is that he has a small penis. I base that on him also owning a Harley which he rarely rides but does start and rev up at literally any time of day.
