Starting in January, I cut back to three days in the office, two days working from home.
I'm getting ready to cut that to two days in the office, three days working from home.
Yes, I have a conceal/carry permit. Yes, I violate the ban on carrying on public transportation (commuter train, Metra) and yes, I violate the building owner's "No handguns" policy.
I look at it this way: If I'm conceal/carrying properly - NO ONE KNOWS. In the event I need to defend my (or someone elses) life, they're going to be damn' glad I'm carrying.
'nuff said.
Smart man.
As it was said on FR before: I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
“If I’m conceal/carrying properly - NO ONE KNOWS.”
I’d be doing the exact same thing if I was still making the commute from DuPage County to the city, but fortunately for me I left that rat hole over 30 years ago. That being said, sometimes when I go to target practice out here in rural NM I’ll strap on a sidearm, sling an AR across my chest, and hop on the motorcycle to ride to wherever it is that I plan to go have some fun. I might stop at the station to top off the tank, and as I drive wave to people I know (and don’t know) as we pass on the road (people still do that here), and it’s still common enough to see rancher and cowboy types packing iron, and rifles in the rear windows of pickup trucks, that nobody but new comers really pay it much mind. But I’ve often wondered if I were to try and do the same back in Chicago or DuPage county, how long would it take for a SWAT team to be deployed and if I would live through it, LOL! Stay safe my FRiend, and be careful to keep that little friend concealed!!!
