Fair enough but in that case maybe don't carry a gun at all. Like I said, it's basically suicidal.

Regardless of the current, evolving circumstances, law enforcement officers treat any gun as a deadly weapon. So they will shoot first & ask questions later.

Whatever happened to the Fourth Amendment? If they're not even bothering to uphold the Constitution in a courthouse you guys are well and truly fucked.

The point of the pepperball gun being? You know they'll shoot you dead when they spot it, right?

Might as well be carrying the real thing instead.

They simply don't care for the values of the Age of Enlightenment. Kant's Categorical Imperative would unduly inconvenience them.

Might as well provide the URL for the comparison site: www.geizhals.de

It's been around forever and is still as good as ever.

Munich of all places offers an interesting case study on open source software in German public service. They ditched MS 21 years ago despite Bill Gates' personal lobbying of mayor Christian Ude. But they had to go back eventually because they simply couldn't make the alternative (based on a custom Linux implementation with Libre Office) work. They've now shifted to using open source as much as possible without sacrificing interoperability.

This page has a great writeup on the topic: https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observatory-osor/document/munichs-long-history-open-source-public-administration

Imagine being opposed to clean water. Death cultists, one and all.

Along with the brilliant "use" of quotation "marks".
