relapsed into an age old addiction I've been fighting for years and now will be going to therapy with my wife bc it's scaring her and she doesn't know how to handle it (valid).

so I've had better days :(

    guns are not a tool to de-escalate any situation. by definition, pulling a gun escalates.

    the only reason a gun should ever be pulled is when every deescalation tactic has failed and there is a credible threat to human life.

    you do not pull a gun to scare someone into cooperation, you pull a gun to immediately incapacitate a threat.

    responsible concealed carriers know this. cops, on the other hand...

    wait I know her! she does this consistently here in Chinatown and on arch street by reading terminal market. always a joy to see, she's really funny with it.

    the other day I saw her manage to block one into driving over a metal grate on the sidewalk, at which point its sensors must've gotten confused cause it just stood there and didn't move. I left after about 5 minutes, I wonder if someone had to come rescue it lol
