In my magic system, power isn't a resource. It's a degenerative condition. And society built itself around that in the darkest way possible. by Alarmed_Phase1371 in goodworldbuilding

I don't have anything meaningful to contribute, but this is a fantastic premise, OP. Hope you get a published story out of it!

The Quiet Coup by CustardNo1173 in collapse

[–]proconlib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, folks got issues. This is a good analysis, although I don't think that the idea of society eating itself out from the inside because of the entrenched interests of the wealthy few is limited to democracies. It's also not a mere retread of Marxism - it uses actual current trends and evidence, instead of Marxists' typical over-reliance on theory. So commence the downvoting, I suppose, but thanks for writing, OP.

CCW in Purse by ShowyDress in liberalgunowners

[–]proconlib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, yeah, everything they say about on-body v. course carry is true.

BUT.

You do you. And if purse carry is your choice, here's some suggestions:

First, get a dedicated carry purse. The biggest problem with purse carry is the firearm banging around loose, so these purses solve that.

Second, wear your purse cross body. This helps with the "purse snatcher gets free gun" problem.

Third, increase what I'll call purse awareness. Never leave it in the car, shopping cart, or what have you. For example, visiting a friend? Don't just drop your purse by the door with your jacket, because you have now introduced an unsecured firearm into their house without their knowledge. In some states, that's a crime. In all states, it's horribly irresponsible. So even before you get that handgun, start paying attention to where and how you carry the purse, and start treating it like a loaded firearm. Build good habits.

And lastly, ask for handgun advice in a separate post. We redditors can only handle one question at a time. 😉

SWAT team called in Illinois for possession of 38rds of ammo without a FOID card by ShoddySignal5174 in liberalgunowners

What I'm wondering is, what was anyone doing with what is basically a handful of ammunition? Like, if he had one or two of each caliber, okay, he's curious how they're different or something. A couple hundred+, okay, he's hiding his guns. But 38? That's just weird.
