It’s convenient for working, but that might be changing. I have been used to working in person, but lately I’ve been remote. If I get another remote job, there’s probably no rational reason to stay.
On carry, I generally agree with you in principle.
In practice, one of the first things I did when I got my permit was pay ‘about the price of a nice gun’ to the local criminal defense attorney for legal advice about what the actual enforced rules on self defense in this particular area are.
The answer I got was that a large number of plausible scenarios would result in the specific DA we have laying a charge of premeditated murder, which I might be able to plead down to involuntary manslaughter (6-10 years), the estimate on defense fees will be close to the value of the house, as I am above the ‘public defender’ threshold.
In light of this, I do not carry in public, avoid participating in public life, and avoid any location where carry would be both legal and sensible.
The vibes definitely feel ‘move’, but I think I have some emotional hangup I need to get over.
