    Fair enough, but this is not about making fun of him, it’s about giving him a gun or not…

    Edit: love a level headed discussion btw, kudos! It’s so rare these days, people just downvote instead…

      Yeah, well, I’m from a country where concealed carry permits don’t even exist. The only people with guns are basically the police, military and hunters. If someone showed up dressed like that to apply for a gun permit here, I’d personally see it as a huge red flag. But I have different standards for the US, where things are already quite different to begin with.

      I enjoy a good sparring session too. It’s nothing personal - it’s just a shame so many people take it that way.

        Oh same there’s no guns where I’m from either. Plus I’m brown enough to the point where traveling to Germany always entails a “random” check at the airport
