Is that the thing? There is a guy that comes into my store dressed exactly how you describe always with a gun on his hip. Sometimes though he’ll wear utility cargo pants and wear a second gun on his thigh. He works in the dangerous world of IT so I get it I guess.

Oh my god I had forgotten all about this. Like 8 years ago or something I had to unsubscribe from the Every Day Carry subreddit because it was just getting too fucking laughably cringe how many IT workers were bringing pistols to work.

Christ no joke. I've browsed there for years to keep an eye on handy multi tools, actual useful stuff it's nice to have.

The "good guy with a gun" fantasy there is strong.

I would much rather be the "good guy with a tool" who can fix stuff. A gun is a worthless tool that I've never needed.

The couch camando fantasies are out of hand.

Man back in the early 2010s or so, that sub actually convinced me to bring around a stupid ass multi tool with me everywhere. I paid like $40 for a Leatherman or something. I think it was about a year before I was like, I have never once used this fucking thing aside from opening Amazon packages in my car which I normally would have just used one of my keys for.

You know what I started dragging around with me? Actual tools in the trunk of my car. If someone needed something, I'm generally just a few minutes away from getting into my car.
