When you daily-carry, the weapon becomes just like a key-ring, phone, or wallet. Why do you think so many people bring their gun to the airport? Because they fucking forgot they had the thing.
Expecting someone to be ever-vigilant and ever-responsible is not the product of critical thinking.
I’ve carried a firearm for both the military and personally. And even with ADHD do you want to know how many times I left it unattended on accident? Zero times. If you treat a gun like your keys or wallet then you shouldn’t be carrying it.
Haha I certainly don’t, but I’m less concerned about a small child or a careless adult killing someone with my keys. So I don’t treat them the same way I treat a tool whose sole purpose is violence.
Let’s get real. Its whole purpose is death, nothing lesser nothing else. Sure, you maybe able to stop immediate danger and call it a day with good aim and perfect situation awareness but no gun owner has one to tickle and softly kiss people.
You should always be aware of where your firearm is. I own firearms, but they’re located at my dad’s house locked and in his safe. If he needs to move them out of the house for any reason, he texts me about it. Carrying a firearm is a major responsibility and you must always be vigilant to where your firearm is and where it’s pointed. There are no excuses.
But I can’t be expected to know where it is at all times! What if I get exceedingly drunk? Or have a massive bowel movement? Or am incredibly fucking stupid? Really this is your fault for trusting me with it.

If you can’t handle your daily-carry responsibly, you shouldn’t have a daily-carry at all. That’s the long and short of it.
I’ve never left my phone, keys, or wallet in a public bathroom either, and those can’t kill anyone (unless you use the phone to read your comment, which causes death by proximity to stupid).

Typical “responsible gun owner” hot take, folks.
Is it… Because they’re fucking morons?
Same can be said for driving a car. No one can be ever vigilant. Sometimes you run over some kids. It happens. /s
This is some serious selfawarewolves content. Sooo close to understanding the idea.

Expecting someone to always be responsible with a firearm is absolute bare minimum. If you can’t do that, you shouldn’t have one.
It’s a fucking gun!

That’s some quality satire.
Did you forget the /s ?
I love this take because it is absolutely correct. No one can be ever-responsible and ever-vigilant at all times 24/7.
Yet we sell these weapons to counter a theoretical attack that can happen at any time.
At that point, why is the answer to a lack of critical thinking and responsibility, except more absence of critical thinking and responsibility?
