IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer

I see. Thanks

As for the person who said something along the lines of "Idk how you'd lose your job," Idk about you but my work isn't going to like it when I tell them I'll be in jail for an indefinite amount of time. Even if I was able to post bail or matters were resolved quickly, I would more than likely be gone for at least a couple days which won't sit well either.

I'm privileged to work for very understanding people. I was gone for a month to be with my husband's family as my mother-in-law suddenly fell ill and slowly began to decline after we had to remove her from life support. I didn't want to imply that there isn't a way for you to lose your job, what my intent was that why couldn't a situation like that be treated as a family emergency? hypothetically wouldn't it be anyway because it was either y'all or them?

Regardless, as I stated before, I don't know your circumstances. I can only speak for my own. I just wanted to clarify that I was not trying to say something like being thrown in jail or being fired couldn't happen. IANAL. The book I suggested earlier helped to answer my questions of how various circumstances could work out, and it was compiled by lawyers. I'm not trying to sell you something, I get no benefit from it other than sharing a resource that I found valuable (and continue to) for myself and my husband.

I wish you the best of luck navigating the complexity of self defense!

Sorry if my response came off as rude or something like that. People have always found me to be rude even if that wasn't my intention. I appreciate your response!

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Quite a few members of the class I spoke to felt the same way as I did. Many of these responses have helped to relieve the uneasiness I had about carrying. Excited to get my plastic!

No worries at all! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't rude to you for the same reasons. I totally know what it's like to have your responses taken in a way you didn't intend. Unintentionally started my own firestorm in a different thread yesterday! One should not surf the forums on painkillers hahaha

Good luck with your wait and enjoy pouring through the information on this forum. It helps pass the time waiting for your plastic
