Title: Got to love them budget cuts...
Post by: hoob on April 30, 2012, 23:36
The old printer the city used to used for licenses was apparently so bad that the city, state and my license to carry a concealed pistol all had different expiration dates on file. So not only did it take twice as long standing at a counter to get it renewed but, if I didn't get rained out while I was fishing and come back to town early I would have been unwittingly packing without a license for a month since I wasn't planning on replacing it until my time off at the end of May.  Just to add insult to injury they have apparently doubled the fee to renewal too.

I need to move to Vermont where they just let you carry willy-nilly.

Have you ever had to draw your weapon?

Not yet, I've thought I might have to a couple times, but thankfully it's always de-escalated. Showing confidence is really more important than being able to back it up, it'll resolve 9/10 situations where if you look meek someone might try something.

I wish you foolhardy people not carrying around guns luck.

LOL, I thought it was company's budget cuts. Come to think of it, the end of the financial year is coming in June and I am pretty damn sure my company will do a budget cut on my department again!
