Reply #37: It's comical that the gungeon empties out over something like this

[Missy Vixen]

We know a special agent with 20 years' experience in a triple-letter government agency.

DH has been volunteering for a local police department for the past eleven years.

We know the local police force; I am a former city councilmember, and they worked for me.

ALL OF THEM have expressed extreme misgivings about those who believe they are proficient enough with a gun to carry concealed, carry them daily, leave them unsecured in a home, etcetera.

I might also mention that I have had more than one experience in workplaces, on the street, etcetera, with those who believe that a gun is a penis extender, and liked to brandish theirs at the slightest opportunity. And, yes, one of the parties was arrested and prosecuted for his brandishing a weapon at me.

>I question the need to carry a concealed weapon and expressed my feelings about having my son around that.<

I'm with you. I'd rather have the opportunity to make sure I wasn't anywhere around people like, oh, the guy who brought a gun on our date while I was still single. The guy who was a temp at the largest software company in the world, and insisted on packing while at the office. The other business owner in our building who drew before leaving the building nightly on his way to his car. (Did I mention that the police department was less than one minute away, not to mention that there have been no violent crimes in our community for over 20 years?) You have the right to know that your child is not exposed to the nutjobs that invariably get a gun, despite the best arguments of those in the gungeon, and gun down others who are doing nothing more than breathing when they decide to go out in a blaze of glory.
