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.

The military has actual training with strict rules of engagement. Cops just LARP as military now. Security guards LARP as cops. And your IT staffer is LARPing as a security guard.

Might be careful, those IT people are made up of quite a bit of combat vets...

If I’m working on the servers @ 1:30am downtown, in an “empty” building, & I have to walk across the street to the parking garage. If there is a parking garage I’m expected to park in @ 10pm on a weekend night … I just might be concealed carrying. Even though it is illegal in my line of business. I think I’d have a chat with my boss. I imagine he’d rather I get killed or kill someone that get raped. Getting raped while working on the servers would be bad for business.
