What the hell kind of holster position is that? Seems like a good way to shoot yourself in the chin when you draw

I don't remember this NPC from the last time I played FNV I wonder which mode added him.

hard to explain to people that black people scare me more than trees

I think everybody is more scared of any type of person than trees, what is a tree going to do to you? maybe you meant bears?

serious reply: drop a widowmaker on you

Errrm Aktchually, only an average of one or two people have a fatal bear mauling expirience per year, while on the other hand 100+ people are killed annually by trees.

Really, we should all be a bit more respectful to the power of the tree.

If he's afraid of driving into town, he's too much of scaredy cat to own a gun

As they say, all hat and no cowboy

As a city dweller I used to fight against this kind of propaganda, but as time went on I realized the only kinds of people I hate running into in my city are the kinds of people who are visiting my city. Not every visitor of course, but these kinds? I hate them. They suck. They ruin everything.

So now when someone asks me how scary it is to live in my Big Scary City I tell them about all the Big Scary Things I've seen and hope like hell it keeps them away.

why yes, i always have my emotional support weapons on me for a sesh

Got a handgun and is scared to drive into a crowded area, yet I’m supposed to believe this man’s a hardass

What an incredible reality we live in

Because of social anxiety, right? ...right?

Yeah the mean streets of Kansas City

Honestly it is kinda dangerous here, but mostly because people like this bozo have a gun

I doubt he is from here though. No one here dresses like this. Maybe the suburbs

Terrible chest holster. Just get a normal set of shoulder holsters, christ. Also is that a 1911? Who tf carries a 1911 lmao

I mean it's a fucking cool gun and I love them but if it's your everyday to the point you have a chest rig for it I think you're just using the gun as a fashion accessory. And I'm not even against guns as fashion but at least have some taste

Yes it's a 1911, and I just noticed it's not even cocked. I'm sure his master-level operator skillz will somehow buy him time to rack the slide when he's jumped by 30-50 feral transgender communist Khamas/MS13 members though. No sweat.

jumped by 30-50 feral transgender communist Khamas/MS13 members

I... uh... w-which city does this happen in? So I, uh... c-can avoid it?

For a gun designed to be carried cocked and locked, no less

lmao exactly

Naive dingbats

Oh its easy. You're a massive coward

Fuck Cars. That's what this is about, right?

Driving in US cities is pretty terrible due to car-brained infra. But this dork doesn't comprehend any of that I'm sure.

Yeah, I would bet that you're more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the city than you are from being in the city.

And one of the more likely ways to die in the city is still cars

I too am uncomfortable around cops.

He actually thinks that quote makes him look like a badass lol

"I'm afraid of Black people"

Being afraid in either scenario is silly lmao. In the wilderness, the apex predators don't want to harm you! Unless you live in polar/brown bear territory but that's not a problem in the US. You just gotta do your own thing. Living in irrational fear all the time is such a conservative mood

Nah the actual wilderness will happily fuck you up. Don't fool around in the woods.

If you know what you're doing, have the right gear for the conditions, and are unafraid to bail if things get dicey, it is extremely safe. You gotta be more prepared though for sure, anything you immediately need to survive an emergency situation you have to bring with you

True to a degree - a lot of the "wilderness" outside the suburban blight is formerly cleared woodland where a ton of old-growth forests were destroyed and most potentially dangerous animals driven out. The most a lot of these chuds have to worry about is mosquitos and ticks.

You right though that if you're not prepared in real wilderness you can get lost, take a severe fall, starve, freeze, get heatstroke, get poisoned, bitten, contract disease, frighteningly easily. Be smart out there!

There's a small population of grizzlies around these parts so the conventional wisdom is if it's a black bear you yell at it to fuck off but if it's brown you better hope it's not hungry

Those glizzies dont stand a chance against me

I bet he finds most things hard to explain

Like object permanence

They recently made open carrying legal in my (US) state. My work takes me to grocery stores across a few different counties, of varying rurality. It makes me laugh out loud to see some chud at his neighborhood Publix after church on Sunday strapped with his cute little pistol and holster. Motherfucker you are surrounded by YOUR PEOPLE. What are you afraid of? Hm?

My state passed constitutional carry a couple years back, and to celebrate a ton of people were just taking their ar-15 everywhere they went. Me and the rest of the patrons at chain bbq restaurant got barrel swept multiple times by a chud who was carrying his AR across his chest with the sling around his neck, using it as an arm rest.

I feel like self defense is justified when being barrel swept by a 5.56 rifle

In my state I think it's dependent on your skin color.

It's probably me. Well, not me exactly. I'm a queer commie but I'm not brown so I pass okay.

Wearing my awkward chest holster to pipe smoking camp.

This is what happens when the campy need to accessories conflicts with the innate fear of an American man being perceived as feminine. Instead of a useful sling bag, you get a useless/dangerous gun holster.

There is no more of a campy fashion obsessed person than someone pretending to be a cowboy. I work in the southwest in orthotics and prosthetics and have had full grown men have crying tantrums when I tell them that the brace I built to help them walk again won't work with cowboy boots. "Do you know how much these cost, they're hand stitched!" Is something Ive had screamed at me multiple times. My dude, you work for paycom. They would rather be physically impaired than than give up their suburban cowboy dress gimmick.

This is really, really funny, and I want to thank you for posting. I needed a laugh today.

It would be hilarious for me as well if it wasn't so commonplace where I am. One of the ortho docs at my hospital got in trouble a couple years ago because he made his own commercial for himself after the marketing department told him he couldn't wear his cowboy hat/boots in their commercial.

Him and his office still occasionally wear the shirts he had made out of protest/spite after being subpoenaed by the head of marketing.

I ain't never gonna take it off. If you make me I'll cry, and I'm a real ugly crier.

It's contagious. The ortho team call themselves the cowboys of the operating room. What's worse is that Im at a university hospital, and so we get residents from all over the country/world. So you'll see kids who grew up in New Hampshire essentially get bullied/peer-pressured into operating on people in cowboy boots.

Okay we've looped back around to being sad. Don't get me wrong it's still kinda funny, but WOW, the level of self-harm toxic masculinity perpetuates is wild.

Yeap, luckily my specialty isn't taught at this university so nobody in my department grew up here. So even though we're part of orthopedics and rehabilitation, I'm mostly kept isolated from the cowboy particles, and everybody here thinks it's incredibly weird.

Even better, I'm pretty sure that's a vape not a pipe

Ceci n'est pas une pipe

i'd respect that if it was one of the pre-juice vapes where it was about heating up plant matter but not burning it so you got a slightly different mix of chemicals and no soot/ash

Is nothing sacred!?!?

You have got to be kidding me, just smoke a pipe!

I can only assume the tobacconist is somewhere in the scary town, whereas the vape tree is somewhere out there in the wilderness. Perhaps he struck a deal with the squirrels for it.

Y'all, he's got a point — driving into a small town with this guy in it is much scarier than being alone in the wilderness.

Every person like him is really a scared little child

Type of person who is afraid to eat vegetables.

Same type of guy who would lose his shit during the 'women choose the bear' meme

What if he just really hates driving?

Is this the southern version of tips fedora meme?

And yet, plenty of people live and walk around the town completely unarmed.

Here I am again, a rural amerikkkan hexbear, making one comment in the morning defending my rural comrades, then another wondering why I even bother.

I was with abujch of chuds talking about how theh wanted to wear their plate carriers when we were getting dinner downtown. They really think this and it's just icky. At the same time, it isn't a bad thigk to be comfortable in the wilderness, but that's only 25% of the story here.

Lol, I dislike ppl too but I'm also got a wimp.

meh... maybe use another word than bitch in this scenario. Kinda sexist.

Idk I'm never around chuds so I always hear it in the context of 'scared child' and never related to women, but I do know it comes from that.

As a substitute - I use binch.

I'm just gonna call everyone 'fucks' no matter what they did honestly. I dont care anymore everything sucks.
