Just finished my application for my gun conceal carry license. I have to admit, it will be really weird walking around with a loaded firearm every day. I have a feeling anyone who sees it on me will get offended or scared, maybe not though, I guess we will see.

@freemo You stop thinking about it after a while, but get ready to be treated like a second class citizen.

@splitshockvirus I figured most of the time they wont even see it... So what i kinda expect is ill be shopping and they see it half way through or something and throw a fit.

@freemo

I figured most of the time they won't even see it.

Yes, I recommend micro 9s those are really concealable.

I have a feeling anyone who sees it on me will get offended or scared, maybe not though, I guess we will see.

Just don't make big deal about it and you'll be fine, as long as you are in a place that you are legally allowed to be it shouldn't be an issue. Don't brandish or threaten people, but that goes without saying.

@splitshockvirus Yea I suspect it will just be people kicking me out of places if they notice it.

@freemo

Yeah but you'll want to familiarize yourself with your state's laws regarding no weapons sign some state's they are not legally enforceable, and some of them have criminal punishment on violation. But keep in mind that even in a state that does not enforce weapons signs the property owner can still ask you to leave, and if you refuse you can be charged with trespassing or armed trespassing if they really don't like you.

This is a good site to get a aggregate for state laws when traveling and CCW reciprocity usconcealedcarry.com/resources
I use it constantly.

Again you are a second class in the eyes of the law, know your rights what is legal and what not

@freemo

Too bad you got that gimmick pistol shotgun hybrid abomination the fuck that little barrel gonna do for spread? Better hope your attacker right next to you, you hiding a fucking mistake in your pocket, I saw your target bitch missed half the shots, who you gonna scare with that bullshit, go back that fucking store and get you a 9mm Glock, you gonna need more that 5 chambers can’t hit shit green as fuck gonna hurt yourself with that bullshit ass.

@mia The Judge is for in-bedroom defense only. So Anyone I shoot will be pretty close indeed and it is perfect for that purpose.

My carry would not be the Judge, it would be the HK VP9

@freemo

I still think that judge silly, but that’s a much better carry choice.

@mia The Judge really only has one valid use, and it is great for that use... short-distance in-bedroom defense with the first shot (shotgun) and then the colt 45 bullets to put the person down after you disabled them. Outside of that one scenario its only use is witht he colt 45, and frankly there are better guns for that bullet alone.

@mia @freemo
Do you want a guy that doesn’t read all your bullshit?
I’m right here, babe
@JonnyFever @freemo

My entire life an rxk audition track. Gonna get booted off that boat and kill a rapper.

@freemo I know a person who got one. It is a whole lifestyle. He has, for example, a selection of shirts designed specifically for the purpose. They look like button up shirts but actually have snaps that will pop open if they get pulled in the process of drawing. He also has specific "second call" insurance, i.e. if you ever get into a situation you call 911 and then this insurance and then you shut up.

@mike805 In my case I am just at high risk as a target right now.. So im not into the lifestyle or anything, sounds like a hassle, but im stuck carrying for a while for sure.

@olives Not at my Dutch home at the moment, in the USA right now.

@freemo
Oh, huh, thought you might be in Israel and were scared for extremists atm. What's happening in USA that you suddenly need to permanently carry a gun now?

@olives

@sergeant

I have had a house in both the netherlands and the usa for some time. Not much has changed.

@trinsec @olives

@shuttersparks
Well, for me 'will ... every day' is close to permanently. ;) It could be temporarily permanent (as long as he's in USA). :P

@freemo @olives

@trinsec

People are trying to kill me. So the USA and access to guns seems the safest choice

@shuttersparks @olives

@freemo
What'd you do that people are actively trying to kill you now? 👀

@shuttersparks @olives

@freemo

Oh boy...
And USA is merely a pit stop for acquiring weapons and permits? Are those valid in Israel too then?

@olives

@trinsec @olives

No i will be stuck in thr usa for as long as i feel i need to be safe.

@freemo @olives

Ah okay. So remote controlling the company now? Afraid they'll come over to USA too? What about NL?

@trinsec

Something like that, may be cutting my ties with the company

@olives

@freemo @olives Oh wow, so leaving Israel for good soon then? What're you going to do after this?

@trinsec

Probably be dealing with the court for a while at the moment.

@olives

@freemo
Good luck and stay safe. You sure know how to get from one rollercoaster to the next. :p

@olives

@freemo @trinsec @olives Hm, did you offend any israelis? Not pushing here, just asking. Guessing it would be easy to, even accidentially. Hope you don't ever need that gun.

@admitsWrongIfProven

Yes i did some whistleblowing on corruption and it pissed off some people.

@trinsec @olives

@freemo @trinsec @olives Hm yeah, much worse than israeli mafia, if you air corruption the rich guys are after you. The worst.
Your gf safe?

@admitsWrongIfProven

Who said the mafia wasnt involved? Sadly this appears to be a bit of both.

@trinsec @olives

@freemo Was just saying rich ppl have more resources, hence more danger than just one state. Hope you're safe, and your gf and other loved ones too.

@admitsWrongIfProven Thank you... now that im well armed I am much safer. Thank god for easy access to guns, may have saved my life.

@freemo Was there an attack you repelled? Or is it more of an emotional thing? Or assuming attackers would not dare if you can fight back?

What about loved ones, is there a riak? You wrote about a gf, sufficient degree of separation there?

@admitsWrongIfProven Before i had my hand gun i was physically assaulted and was told they were going to have me and my family killed... so i bought two hand guns.

I do have family and loved ones to worry about.

@freemo Are they informed of what is up? Since your family seems to be rich, it should not be a problem to shore up security, but they need to know...

@admitsWrongIfProven My family isnt really rich... I grew up very very poor. I am one of just a few in my family who got out of poverty.

@freemo Btw, can you tell what you did to offend people? Or would that deepen the hate against you?

@admitsWrongIfProven I called out corruption I noticed at the company I worked at basically (the CEO had told a lot of lies, mostly unnecessary).

@freemo I must say, i was very lucky. Spoke truth to (not so much) power... for me, nothing happened. For you, what shit life can be. Sorry you have to brave that.

@freemo If they're scared just put googley eyes on it and it's a japanese mascot for self defense. Instant crowd pleaser.

@freemo@qoto.org congrats! I got a call yesterday that my permit was ready to be picked up. So I'm right there with you.
