    Your exercising of your rights scares me, so I insist that you
    give up your rights so I won’t be scared.

    Um, no. It’s my right. If you’re scared, you need to grow up,
    and learn what the term RIGHTS means. And
    maybe, while you’re at it, look up RESPONSIBILITIES as
    well. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, fella. Every
    citizen has the right to bear arms, and the responsibility to
    use them wisely for self defense, or the defense of others.

      That’s why the Imperial philosophy is that
      people can own whatever they want.
      The first time they use it to harm an innocent,
      it will be a spectacular goodbye.

    Offering unwanted criticism and insult to a couple of predators
    wearing sharp blades sounds sounds like a perfect FAFO
    situation. What kind of idiot insults someone with the wherewithal
    to render serious harm to their tender body?! Some body is
    playing stupid games and is likely to collect stupid prizes.
    Clearly they’re not really intimidated because if they were
    they would not be so vocal. How can someone line in the
    Empire and get shook up over someone going about
    armed?

      Their reactions remind me of the privileged customers at a Wallyworld,
      who threw a fit when one of the regulars came in with his loaded AR
      on his back. Just because most people don’t carry publicly, in many
      states and cities, it is not only legal, it is illegal to discriminate
      against them because they are armed. Two of the three mouthy former
      customers got to see a jail cell, when arguing with the cops over the
      guy carrying his rifle, since they thought they had a right to order
      the police to do what they wanted, rather than enforce the law.
      He had a rag top Jeep, that he had lost three rifles out of, so he
      started carrying it with him when shopping, at ten at night. He had
      asked the manager, and no store policy forbid his carrying a firearm,
      so he had the stores blessing. He still shops there, and from what
      the manager told me, the count is up to seven seeing jail cells,
      and twenty asked to leave the store.

        I have no problems with open carry, but toting a fully loaded
        AR-15 in a store is just a touch, impolite. While you may
        have it safed and slung, it can snag on things, get handled
        by curious fingers, or any number of other problems that
        might cause issue.
        In real communities, during hunting season, people are a bit
        more understanding, but in bigger cities, where people have
        a serious distrust of their neighbors, yeah, can see why they’d
        be a bit nervous. Me, I tend to prefer bullpup designs, as
        they are more compact and provide less of a snag hazard,
        or potential breakage issues.
        Myself, I’ve been hassled in the past by police, for wearing a
        sheathed dagger on my hip, with snap closed, a d it required
        me to thumb it out of it’s sheath to draw it. When confronted
        by the cops, (there were two of them) I calmly asked them if I
        was in violation of any laws or local ordinances, reminding
        them that open carry of a blade of that nature, up through
        welding a cutlass, (it was a navy town on the east coast,
        Midatlantic region) so long as I was not flailing about with it,
        in hand, was sheathed, and secured, as my dagger was, was
        completely legal. They Looked at each other, then, while one
        was talking to me, the other radioed it in to check on what I
        had told them. The one cop and discussed the fact that they
        had switched from it’s to 9mm pistols, both of us agreeing that
        their department had made a mistake, as in my experience, the
        9mm S&W that they had switched to, with a polymer frame, was
        a bit harder to control than a 1911 .45. The other cop
        interrupted us during this talk, informing us that I was correct,
        but should probably be careful where I wore it, as some people
        tended to get a bit nervous. This was before the current “Karen”
        era, so I thanked them and everything was cool from there.

        I have since, however, taken to carrying folding knives, which
        will having similar characteristics, are more easily pocketed.
        So, in theory, I could get arrested for carrying a concealed
        weapon without a permit.

        Don’t you just love the logic of the legal system?

      How such people could have survived the Fall and then
      live to this point in the history of the Empire is utterly
      amazing. They must be back-room employees in a totally
      non-military related business.
      Maybe filling soap bottles or wrapping toilet paper rolls.
      How else might they have survived?

    I remember years ago reading about a couple of SCA
    participants who returned home from an event to find
    a couple of burglars in their residence.
    The SCAers were wearing real swords and daggers,
    not the padded stuff they use when battling each other.

    Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway 🙂 ),
    the burglars surrendered post haste.

      Look out for John Betancourt’s song “I’ll see your Six” on Youtube.
      Allegedly a true story – there was a scan of the police report
      floating around at one point – it goes to show that it’s not
      always a good idea to hassle passers by.

        I looked up the lyric to that song. Interesting tale. But do they
        still use the word “snickersnee” today? And would a thug know
        it? As wild and wooly as NYC is today I’d expect him to pull
        out a pistol, NY’s anti-RKBA laws being so effective and all.

    I figured they would start something, but really? This is the Empire,
    by now they should be used to people that open carry, especially
    after the last attack! I expected they were MEFers, but this is beyond
    stupid. I suspect they survived the fall by hiding behind those that
    were carrying in the first place… Hippocrates.

    Svetlana, there’s your chance, talk to Johnathan, I’m sure he could
    hook you up with someone that could point you in the right direction.
    Maybe not in the government, but I’m sure the Catains could use a
    bright young lady to help with new trading partners. And help fix
    the damage the slavers caused by their “habits”.

      “Freedom is Not Free!” , those who don’t work/fight for
      it expect it to be… an then you get the Entitled.!!
      (rant) hiding behind – no … this is all on the “anti-
      carry crowd”. just like phones or keys,. no one should
      care you carry one or two… BUT because “Gun” every
      one gets their panties in a twist.!!!

        Neither of the ladies are carrying guns,
        he’s called them out on Miral’s sword and Ahmya’s knife.
        They decided they are dangerous just because they don’t
        know who they are that they shouldn’t be “dangerous.”
        Granted a sword is a bit scary, but if they knew it was Miral,
        yelling at her would be like yelling at a cop for wearing his gun.
        Just plain stupidity.

          to hard to draw, all the time.. look
          again both of the “Knives” they are
          carrying are Not showing…
          also admiral declared, “All high
          ranking officers Have to carry off
          base!”

            I had my Bowe knife taken from me because it
            was over 4 inches… This is no different from a
            “Karen” insisting you’re up to no good due to
            “just because”.

      If their weapons scare them, how
      is it smart to antagonize them?
      If Miral was dangerous, pissing
      her off just might give him a
      chance to find out what Japanese
      steel tastes like?

    Fine. It snowed, it’s pretty, now melt already.
    Once a year is enough. Ground is still covered,
    got down to 17F. Enough of this fluffy white shit.

      When it snowed down south, it dropped to thirteen below up here,
      so cold that car batteries were too depleted to start vehicles.
      Having a wood boiler works wonders to keep a place warm, with
      unlimited hot water. Just got to deal with going out once a day
      to feed the wood to the boiler. That got cold enough for me to
      wear a hat on my bald head even. Of course, with thirty mile an
      hour winds, I felt the wind chill,
      not the thirteen below zero Fahrenheit.
