People have handguns on their hips in grocery stores.

Yeah, definitely not in my state.

No wonder these psychopaths never feel safe. Literally everyone down there is fucking armed.

I don't think it's the fact that they're armed that makes them not feel safe. It's the constant fear propaganda they're fed via Fox News, Facebook, Twitter, and other right wing "news" sources. The alt right propaganda machines scare these people into thinking that everyone and everything is out to get them so they go out and buy a gun. In more ~~civilized~~ progressive areas, people aren't exposed to alt right fear mongering as much and if they are, their community disproves and supports them so they don't fall down the "I must arm myself to kill anyone who might harm me" rabbit hole.

Can confirm - I have an RV and whenever guns comes up in the online groups, it is clear that these people are absolutely CERTAIN they will be attacked. No "if", it's "when".

I assume these are the same people that end up murdering someone who knocked on the door of a house they thought was a friend's place, but were mistaken, or needed help in the middle of the night, stuff like that.

Hey, I’m only telling you what I’m seeing when I go outside. Seems more common than 10yrs ago too.

Usually don't do the comment history thing but I was specifically curious about said state, which appears to possibly be Ohio?

If so yes, people do carry in Ohio.
