    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.

        It’d be 100x more effective if you were packing.

        Good on you, keep at it as long as you are able, those who are in danger and stuck in the most dangerous places need to see someone sticking up for them the most. ✊

        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.

          Yeah that feels like capitulation to me.

          I get your point and I understand, but that’s literally how they win: by cowing us

            How does a wearing a shirt help me beat them? Does it pass legislation? Does it organize protests? Does it unionize or strike?

            It sounds like you want me to endanger myself for no good reason instead of doing something meaningful. Give me a break. I’m not cowing. I’m simply not taking unnecessary risks THAT WILL DO NOTHING.
