How does that sqaure her circled with open carry ?
If you are doing something with a gun that incites fear, then yes, the cops can and will come talk to you. And depending on what you were doing, they can charge you with a crime. There’s a very vague law about “brandishing” a firearm in most states that they can use to charge people who are being assholes.
Most of the time you see an open carry, which is far less common than concealed carry (for obvious reasons), nobody even pays it any attention because it’s somebody who needs the attention to feel masculine.
What does "square her circled" mean?
To “square a circle” is to try to make to concepts that are mutually contradictory match up.
Eg - why is it okay to have open carry (which often does come across as a threat) versus fake minefields.
Open carry is something the slavering idiots here love, and as a queer person that used to travel to a bunch of rural areas - it’s pretty terrifying.
I want to start off this diatribe with saying I am very much anti open carry in any situation where you're around strangers!
But as you're a queer person, depending on whether or not you're very obvious, you may want to look into some firearm training classes at the very least if you're not comfortable keeping one around. I'm not sure how this project 2025 shit is going to end, but I'm having some strange de ja vu, like I've seen this movie before.
But I went from one dumbass very populated red State to a rural one. And the idiots I see open carrying are the least threatening people I've ever seen! Like I'm talking either elderly cowboy types or fucking obvious weebs. I come from a background of violence(not my family though thank God) and can see right through them. They probably wouldn't even pull it out if they were behind an armed robber in the act. I know this is a tall order considering your background, but I'm begging you to not be afraid of those idiots. You are giving them way more energy than they deserve.
Also thank you very much for explaining that and helping alleviate my ignorance.
