Many of the responders in this thread should do some serious introspection about what side you're on. I think you should be ashamed of yourselves.
This is, fundamentally, a forum to support the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
When someone asks how to do something or for gear advice, and you try to turn the discussion from what/how to why by questioning their need with ridiculous statements like "Is this for Guatemala, Syria, Chicraque?", you are supporting the anti-gun mentality of need-based restrictions that are not consistent with Rights. And you are insulting and shaming people who may for economic reasons live in high crime areas and feel the desire for something more than a pistol or who may have medical conditions that make shooting pistols more difficult. Do you really think members should have to justify to you their need to exercise a right before asking a question, especially if it involves explaining their disabilities or finances? And you are showing how either ignorant or dismissive you are to the recent events (aka peaceful protests) where intersections were blocked and random motorists and their families (even from "good neighborhoods") were terrorized by rifle-wielding criminals.
Certainly, providing advice on how to conceal pcc or rifles where legal, and how to interact with the general public in places like gyms where someone might call local law enforcement is useful and appropriate. But anyone who says "Well, you had better inform the gym that you are carrying such a beast and leaving it in your locker. If my gym, if you are unknown to most and someone is up on guns, we are calling the cops to take a look at you" doesn't deserve the right others have worked so hard to preserve.
Seriously, who thinks it's a good idea to waltz up to the kid at the desk and say "I've got a gun!" and tell him where you're keeping it? This is horrible advice. How is advising someone to inform businesses that you have a gun consistent with the RKBA or even just common sense? This is a slap in the face to the thousands of RKBA activists who worked so hard for decades to pass concealed carry laws so that people can protect themselves without exposing themselves to the judgement of others, risking their job, etc. And what does being "up on guns" have to do with it? are you saying you'd call the cops for one kind of gun but not another? Unbelievable that this anti-gun sentiment would be written here.
TLDR:
Don't carry your pcc to the gym because... - productive opinion/advice
You're just posturing and don't need to exercise your Right and I'll call the cops on you myself... - embarrassing anti-gun, pro-Fudd stereotype drivel
Not very THR, guys.
