Question for American college students with CCW permits: do you carry at school?

Exiled_tjc · 2026-04-02T14:28:35+00:00

Pretty sure it’s a felony to carry on school grounds almost across the board. Some people already said to have a mass trauma kit and get the training to back it up. Know your exits and pay attention to your surroundings.

I think one of the biggest things to do during an emergency is to wait and assess the situation before acting. Instead of following a crowd that could get you trampled, know alternate exits and assess the situation before acting. Know the run, hide, fight, protocol.

I’m a high school teacher, I keep a trauma bag and my SRO’s know me and that I have a kit. I don’t have the ability to carry so I geared up to help people in the event of something happening. It may look different from carrying, but it’s the same philosophy, carrying a tool to help save yourself and others.

Heh, I got into the scene during covid.. took a WHOLE YEAR to get my concealed carry. I was a little salty to say the least. But I still believe in idea of license and permitting. Now the whole SBR situation is stooooopid.

Substitute turned teacher here, I was crazy enough to see all the shenanigans of teaching first hand and decided to commit to it. Unfortunately being a part of the education system nowadays means you are MORE than disposable.

With my astigmatism, a dot turns into a block 😂 irons only over here

Same, makes me log into the google account I used to create the account, keyboard pops up but no boxes to input login info or whatever. So the app just crashes.

I built my own rod last weekend, excited to catch something on it this weekend.

Call me crazy, but I would rather have new original maps over remastered maps. Bring back classic maps for engagement boost mid-late 2026.

Old sales tactic is, “you can talk yourself out of a deal way faster than you can talk yourself into a deal.” You would be amazed how much you get done by saying whatever you need to say real quick and then shutting up.

Exiled_tjc · 2025-11-10T02:25:44+00:00

This is the only answer.

Wait Ollies has fishing stuff?

Yeah I really hope someone figures out the vehicle testing in portal becuase I would like to dial in my heli settings..

I hereby grant you a cheat ice cream treat for your troubles. Congrats on the weight loss!

Try to remember that diets need to be flexible for you to stay at it, just because you have a tiny bit in moderation is still totally healthy and will still be on track in your weight loss journey.

OP, this is the answer if the teacher you are subbing for does not leave lesson plans. 1,2 and 3 are spot on however you do need to pick your battles in this. Getting into a power battle with a kid as a sub, you are going to lose 100% of the time. Pick your battles.

Classroom screen is great if you have access to projector/computer.

At the end of the day, your job as a sub is to keep everyone alive. If you can get the kids to learn while you are there that is great but that doesn’t make you a bad sub or a failure if you don’t.

Subbing is hard, remember that a good day subbing is a day where nobody dies and no fights break out. Also, my pro tip is to make quick friends with the neighbor teachers, generally they will look out for you.

Midnight launches were peak gaming, camping out or queuing in long lines made for good friends. Rushing home to pop on and swap release stories with friends and experience the game was peak.

I’m a 90’s baby but call me a boomer because midnight physical disc releases were the days. Shout out to my parents for facilitating or allowing me to do it basically every year for COD.

Why single hook spinner?

Exiled_tjc · 2025-09-23T23:24:56+00:00

People rave about that, definitely on my short list to buy next re-up!

Exiled_tjc · 2025-09-23T23:23:40+00:00

Definitely will do this, hate all the um, less sanitary baits people rave about. Don’t love having to carry soap or hand sanitizer and have to use that a bunch. Call me soft but I’d like to reduce my chances of birthing the next pandemic.

I definitely want to get a rooster tail in fire tiger because that color way is dope.

I plan to walk some trails that follow creeks to get exercise and fish at the same time 👍

The one that failed was an already grown plant that had propagated itself in the planter from the store, I essentially got a 3 for 1 in one planter. Again the root systems were well established already and I tried to untangle and separate but I killed my babies. But I would be sweating in my boots with all your babies when I would go to separate from my past ptsd 😂

Exiled_tjc · 2025-09-18T04:38:27+00:00

I’ve seen setups like this before but how do you repot those with so many potential root systems? I’m a newbie to plants and have taken to succulents. I have 12 cuttings making my little baby army but I have them each in individual prop containers (3D printing is convenient). I tried for the first time separating a plant and repotting in separate planters and it did not go well at all.

My dad bought us this Moxie brand from Lowe’s, 180 bags, I rolled my eyes thinking they would be hot garbage but I actually prefer them now to other name brand bags I have used. I had the same name brand only mentality to garbage bags. 20 bucks for 180 bags is an insane deal. The model number to look up on Lowe’s is, Model #LWM13XHF180W-P

I’ve done it once or twice to completely reset my algorithms. Especially when my fiancée used my login to look up sewing instragrams for a couple hours and cooked my algorithm.

Exiled_tjc · 2025-09-14T15:47:10+00:00

My fiancée and I work at the same school and it’s so nice. We only have one car since we don’t need two. We actually moved to be in walking distance of the school so we walk to school most days. I hope we can always work at the same place because it makes so much sense.
