    As badly as I want this shirt, I could never wear it. Live in rural Oklahoma and it would cause nothing but fights. Sigh, oh to live anywhere but here

      I live in Ohio and wear it regularly, though I’m getting more nervous about it as the days go on.

      But fuck it.

        Living in Florida with two youngins, I can’t risk it. Some unpermitted asshat will blow me away without so much as a word. My wife has a banned books shirt and an Alt NPS shirt, and I worry. I have some science shirts and a Reading Rainbow (unofficial) books shirt, and I’m just waiting for a confrontation. It’s as far as I can risk.

          Get armed, it’ll make the inevitable confrontation that much more of a teachable moment.

            There would be no teachable moment for an aggressor in this confrontation.

            You never show a gun until you are in a situation where you have no choice but to employ it. Never brandish. This isnt the movies.
