    Can someone eli5 why it would be so self evident that “no argument is ever required as to the need of a revolver at home, at the office, when traveling”?? They say it like it’s apparent. Maybe at home you’re worried about burglary, but what’s going on at the office?

      un/s I think the point was more so that conflicts can arise anywhere, and maybe rule of 3s. With them invoking an always be prepared mindset.

      re/s Also a lot of people really don’t like their boss. Which is a selling point for employees and employers.

      Of course it’s apparent, this is America 120 years ago. You don’t leave your house without your blazer, pipe, trench lighter, bowler hat, revolver, and buttplug (which is also a gun)

      If you don’t know how to justify something, or don’t have the time/the room to, just say its self-explanatory.
