You might feel that way, and you may compromise, but don’t lose sight of the value of your own happiness and well-being.

Thank you for the sage reminder

I would ask that any posts with pictures of weapons in them be tagged NSFW at the least

I went ahead and NSFW-ified the picture.

I debated a lot internally about it, and I think that it’s okay here, but I want it to be possible for people who aren’t comfortable with them to be able to avoid them. Trauma and whatnot. There’s lots of reasons someone might not be.

I appreciate this, and didn't think about the victims of gun violence when I posted that, thank you for adding perspective to WHY instead of just smacking me down.

Thank you for popping in, sorry if I created a situation unwittingly that made anyone uncomfortable.

Fancy seeing you here ^.^

Thanks, I’m in love with it. I want to get some nice aftermarket grips for it, but it’s not as popular a platform as some of the Glocks I.e. so pickings are slimmer

You wanna help me leave the state? Everywhere I’ve reached out to doesn’t accept me because technically I’m “protected“ by discrimination laws, but if you want to help my family and I move to a more hospitable environment, we’d be appreciative.

Edit: you know what, fuck all this victim blaming bullshit. I can't even go to Disney Springs without being picketed and called a groomer by literal Nazi's, do you think fucking Disney is unaware of the loud vocal nazis and refusing to do anything about it? These motherfuckers get to terrorize me and my family regardless sanctioned by the police because next to the Nazi flag is a DeSantis one and "Freeze Peach".

I first started carrying over a decade ago when I turned 21. I grew up around firearms, my family carries, I like them, and I’m a huge buff for sovereignty and self reliance.

Some loudmouth asshole who didn’t do anything but talk?

You don’t know shit about fuck, I live in a suburb of Orlando, I have experienced more than my fair share of exactly what these ’men’ think of me, I am at the hospital near pulse night club at least twice a month.

Where were the interrogations when I was a dude-bro? Where were the people trying to get me to justify why I’d bother to exercise my rights then?

It’s very suspect that nothing has changed except the way other people see me, and suddenly I’m subject to all this scrutiny about the laws and where I fit into them, and insisting and linking to the laws does nothing to assuage y’all’s fears.

Thanks for the gender affirmation though 💕

I was living out near Millerville, I would’ve been way sketch out there compared to the twin cities. I imagine Bemidji would be nice too. I’m glad you have a safe area to be you!

Someone should do something about that then. I'm not the only person to go into an applebees with a gun in my area... Ya'll need to get real.

Edit to add, restaurants that have bars are not considered bars in Florida, it is illegal to sit at the bar, not anywhere else in the property of a place that sells food and alcohol. If they didn’t sell food I couldn’t even go to the property.

oh, and to add, it's only automatically illegal if you hit .1% BAC, if you are 0.09% BAC (one over for driving) but are otherwise appearing sober it's perfectly legal.

Way too high for my tastes, too

I don't disagree with you. It honestly is with a heavy heart that I find myself feeling the need to carry because of such shitty people. In general I am a massive fan of gun reform, but as it is, the game, with the rules as they are, I can't allow myself to be that disadvantaged. Mr Hicksville was way more drunk than that, and I guarantee he was armed, and the police WILL look the other way if he gets even more drunk and decides he thinks I followed his eye candy into the bathroom, even if I didn't at all, and she was elsewhere on the property.

I wish we weren't here at all and that I could just be a person that deserved respect for my humanity as a base level, but we aren't there.

It's not Illegal at all in my state, I am a perfectly law abiding citizen.

It is unlawful and punishable as provided in s. 790.151 for any person who is under the influence of alcoholic beverages or controlled substances, when affected to the extent that his or her normal faculties are impaired, to use a firearm in this state.

I wasn't demonstrably beyond my normal faculties, or legally intoxicated.

Again, I appreciate everyone being good advocates for responsible CCW. Thank you, but my original post basically opened with I am versed with this, understand my rights and responsibilities, and I am not a newbie to CCW in general.

Maybe it’s cultural, but having 2 drinks over a couple of hours is hardly considered drinking.

People in my area regularly take in more pain pill’s than that and drive while ccw even though technically they aren’t supposed to do any of That.

I live in central Florida for reference.

Thank you for looking out 🙏

I’m a huge advocate for training, and while currently Florida doesn’t require it, I have been through training in the past.

I picked up some cheaper range ammo in bulk to start getting in more regular time at a range in my area, as well as some self defense round for training and to maintain carry levels.

I think I have everything well handled, but if you have anything else to add, I’m appreciative, and you never know when someone else might need the info.

Thank you for advocating responsible ccw 💕
