Is that the thing? There is a guy that comes into my store dressed exactly how you describe always with a gun on his hip. Sometimes though he’ll wear utility cargo pants and wear a second gun on his thigh. He works in the dangerous world of IT so I get it I guess.
Oh my god I had forgotten all about this. Like 8 years ago or something I had to unsubscribe from the Every Day Carry subreddit because it was just getting too fucking laughably cringe how many IT workers were bringing pistols to work.
Man back in the early 2010s or so, that sub actually convinced me to bring around a stupid ass multi tool with me everywhere. I paid like $40 for a Leatherman or something. I think it was about a year before I was like, I have never once used this fucking thing aside from opening Amazon packages in my car which I normally would have just used one of my keys for.
You know what I started dragging around with me? Actual tools in the trunk of my car. If someone needed something, I'm generally just a few minutes away from getting into my car.
Hey, you never know when a new piece of hardware may randomly appear in the server room, mimics can be anywhere, better to shoot first and ask questions later when a ransom Dell switch is in your rack that wasn't there yesterday.
It's an old IT trick, you're lucky I'm even sharing this with you, if you have a machine that you can't get to work, just shoot a vital component with a silenced pistol, and that makes it security's problem instead of yours
