Explaining to you exactly how I would to my 4 year old:

You seem to have some really big feelings right now because you heard the word no, is that correct?
Well I hear how you feel and your feelings are valid, but when there are rules in place we have to follow the rules. Otherwise you will not be allowed to play and come back, and I’m sure that would make you sad, right?
So let’s follow the rules so everyone stays safe and we can keep having fun.
Would you like a hug? I love you so much, you are such a great listener.

You can’t get arrested for not following company policy but you can get fired.

I doubt a gun will make things better for you (or others) though.

I get the frustration of crime on MARTA really I do, I get the desire to protect yourself, but there’s other ways of accomplishing that without risking your career

It’s not against policy if you don’t get caught :)

Actually, they may have you arrested because of the no weapons policy. If no one else is packing you technically become a criminal great to the company. I would not take that risk, myself, but I don’t know your situation. IF you are going to pack I would suggest getting one of those pretty purses (if your a girl) that has the 2 hidden, locked compartments in it so nobody knows you’re packing. I use mine regularly!

As a HS Special Ed teacher, hoping you pack to protect

Also this isn’t a case of “It’s my right let me carry my gun” situation it’s more of a “2 people just for shot a couple of days ago on the marta and im scared” situation

Companies can bar you from bringing weapons to work. They can also bar customers from bringing weapons.

Don’t take MARTA. Why are you so scared?

Companies require all sorts of things that aren’t legal until they’re challenged in court. Remember in 2020 when they told us we couldn’t hire white men?

That would be illegal. It never happened.

People with dogs: how did you get your dog used to city life? My dog is almost a year and half now (having lived the past ~5 months in the city) and he is terrified of the city. We used to live in the suburbs so much more quiet and low key. The cars going by, sudden sounds, bikes/scooters are a huge stressor, but more than anything it’s people - if he sees anyone walking or around him he panics and tries to flee. I can’t afford to send him to an expensive dog trainer and don’t know what to do :/
