Why would you try to sneak a gun into any medical test area? Even if you didn't know an mri will fuck with a gun, what is the motivation to try to sneak a gun into a medical test room?
Cowardice. People that think they need a gun on them at all times are paranoid cowards... Which also makes them the last people who should be able to own a gun.
This is such a weird take, but I hear it a lot. Many of the people I work with carry and very few of them are like that.
I think there are cultural differences, though. City people are more likely to be that way, but for the more rural or country guys it's the same as me carrying a knife all the time. It's just something that's done.
Not so weird... A Knife I can understand. There are a number of uses for a knife beyond being an offensive or defensive weapon. I'm not a knife person, personally, but even I have a few to cut food, or open sealed boxes. I've seen knives used to cut bindings and they can even be used to craft art (whittling being an art form where the knife is the primary tool of choice)!
A gun? Outside of a legit, active warzone? A gun either says you're hunting, or your scared. That's it! I have all the respect for a hunter going into the forests to hunt game animals. I do love myself a burger and a steak... but in a public setting? What're you hunting? What utility is a gun in a public Walmart?
I understand it seems that way to you, but it doesn't to them. It's just kind of normal.
A coworker had a deer run in front of his truck Monday morning and it didn't die from the impact, so he shot it.
