I didn’t mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(
I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. “Everything’s lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time”) type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I’ve heard from women irl a lot.
The thing with carrying a gun is that pulling it out can really escalate a situation quickly, and if you’re not experienced enough, it can be turned against you.
That being said, I fucking hate that I can’t carry even pepper spray because here you need a permit for it.
