Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

"Randos carrying in public is pure cringe" they said, after saying they carry in public just in a concealed manner.
You know what I mean, open carrying.
Concealed carry isn't a fashion statement or anything political. It's a personal choice not something to intimidate or rub in people's faces.
I have the legal ability to, I have the training to do it safely, so I do. That's literally the extent of it.
You believing that your country is so unsafe that you need to have a weapon on you at all times, that's political as fuck, even if you conceal it.
Hell, the second you have to bend to pick up something you're not fooling anyone anymore, we all know you're carrying.
Umm yeah we live in a society so I guess every action is political from that perspective. I worked as a firefighter for several years. I know the response times for police and fire/ems and they aren't that good.
Appendix solves a lot of this. Printing can happen but a ton of it is easily avoided
Yeah, being a first responder really changed my perspective on a lot of "safe" areas" and how far help is.
When you have one lone deputy in your entire county for a good portion of the night (and frequently only 2-3 cars during the day), and state is just on call, not patrolling... you can easily be 45 minutes out from LEO, that's been a very long wait before...
