You live in Kentucky, IIRC. Unless there’s some issue I’m unaware of (and I’m not asking), you could have an actual nice .45 in a holster.

Yeah, but I started that habit when I lived in Seattle and worked downtown. That place, at the time (I moved away 8 years ago) was a Jekyl and Hyde area. At around 6 p.m. the dogs all went home and the coyotes came in.

I try to always be brutally honest. If whiny people think I’m an @sshole that’s their problem and not mine.

From someone who doesn’t even have or want a cell phone, what are Air Pods?

Though I’m a guy, I wear mine frequently for similar reasons. Aside from being able to listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc I also just don’t want to be bothered by solicitors, panhandlers, overly chatty strangers, etc.

I do pay a bit of extra attention to my surroundings knowing I can’t hear with them in. Also, other than when I’m at work I’m always armed so that enhances my sense of security. The shield against being bothered is nice but you do need to take extra security considerations into account if you’re going to wear them when out and about.

Homeless beggars tend to leave you alone too.
