These days not having a gun on me is like not wearing my seatbelt. I notice it and feel like I am missing something. Still can't wear it at work.
I try to always carry here, and I'm always amused that the state where I can carry most anywhere is a state where the need to carry is pretty low (which, armed, polite society, hey?).
Now I have to go to CA again this weekend, where there is a much, much greater probability of needing a weapon on me, and I get irritated at both what I can take with me and how I can take it with me.
I was thinking a few days ago that if the Chauvin verdict went the other way, I would say FU to CA, and at the very least be taking my FNX45 with the 15 rounds of .45, and maybe even an evil EBR with some evil standard capacity mags. Having to drive through Sacramento and Fresno on my way, I think the possibility of potential trouble would have been high enough that the slim chance of "getting caught" with the guns would be worth the legal hassles, compared to being Reginal Denny'd at some freeway blockade somewhere.
As it is, I'll be taking a 1911 and some mags this time, using the "California carry" method of unloaded gun and loaded mags in a combo lockbox with the combo one number off of "open".
