I don’t know, I really think we live in a “squeaky wheel gets the grease” society where all we hear is the people who complain. In my line of work I deal with all kinds of people all over the US and find the vast majority believe in to each their own.
I will definitely admit the region you are in usually will lean one way or the other politically and opinion wise. I still think one on one humans are generally fairly accepting of each other’s viewpoints you just rarely see it portrayed anywhere to the point we feel uncomfortable having discussions or even fear voicing our own opinions. I think this is a really big problem, without discussion there can be no understanding.
I’m not a gun owner and don’t think I’ll ever have the intention of getting one but I would have no issue whatsoever with someone posting a picture of one as part of their EDC.
Lol definitely not a bunch of weirdos and don’t get discouraged because people are complaining. People complain about everything. Everyone has EDC items even if they don’t know it and yes knives are often misunderstood. A pocket knife is a very useful tool. If you carry a giant hunting knife to the office every day… that’s a different story. My grandfather used his old Buck knife for everything, even eating at the table. I was always amazed at how he could line up peas on that thing easier than I could on a fork. I still have it and I’ll never part with it.
mine are:
phone (of course)
pocket knife (simple folding or Swiss Army depending on what the day calls for)
lighter (I don’t smoke but once you start carrying one you realize how useful it is)
watch
small flashlight (usually a Streamlight nano)
If I’m off-roading or motorcycling I include my bag which contains:
full medkit (including emergency dental kit, roll up splint, tourniquet, ace bandages and blood clotting agent)
hand warmers (chemical)
cool packs (chemical)
DayQuil and NyQuil tablets (very useful anti inflammatory and powerful pain reliever combined)
I have had to use all of these items except the tourniquet multiple times. It’s better to be prepared than caught wanting.
