Conceal Carry in AMPs

Don't carry in the AMP. All of the legitimate reasons to CC are null in this setting. You won't be 100% alert (at least you shouldn't be if they're doing their job right) and you won't have the same quick access. I don't know PA gun laws but I would suggest just leaving it in the car if you can. I don't bring anything in that I'm not willing to lose if I could help it. The only things of real value I bring are my phone and my car key. I might need to answer for work or family and I obviously need to get back in my car. Other than those it 's just cash and a physical wallet. ID and cards aren't on my person as I enter the establishment.
Am curious, what exactly is the logistics of carrying inside of an AMP? I carry every day as stated above, but I disarm before going into an AMP. I wouldn't know what to do with it, hang it up with my pants, then leave it unattended in the TS? How do I get to it while I'm 69 and DATO? If I've got my hands full of fourhand UTC bottom, not sure how I would get to my pistol ten feet away. I 100% agree with the arguments back and forth about carrying, it's no one's business but mine what I do and how I protect myself and why. But, I still don't get the logistics of actually carrying inside of an AMP. Doesn't make sense.
If some stickup man wants the 60$ I have in the extra pile in case the session gets extra speshul, he is welcome to it. I'm not getting into a gunfight inside of an AMP over 60 bucks. And I HAVE shot a mugger before. Just would have no interest in getting involved in such a thing at the AMP. Forget about the shitty universe for an hour. Cross off places that you feel there might be a shooting. For me, there are 18 places I can drive to in under 35 minutes, half of them I like quite a bit and visit regularly, and all of them are places I would never feel the need to carry inside of. Or else I would just stop going there. I am a 25 year retired Army officer from Intelligence Branch, deployed many many times, and I ain't scared o no ghosts, but I also don't go to places on purpose where I might encounter ghosts.

Is a corner case I engineer my travels to minimize. I wonder if you can describe the logistics of carrying inside of an AMP? As I mentioned, I carry every day everywhere: AMP, airport, and courthouse are the exceptions. If someone can present logistics that make sense, then ok, but I just can't see a way that my pants hanging up while in DATO 69 or while 20 feet away down the hallway the man is shooting down as I'm in the TS, that I'm going to be better with the firearm than not. Maybe opposed to someone else, I do have extensive decades of training in hand to hand and disarming a person, so my concern about whether or not I have firearm may be less than someone else. Cowering in fear is not a thing I am able to do.
What a fucked up place America has become. Probably always was always fucked up but the amount of fear and hate, division and media polarization, lack of common sense or common good, fear fear fear.. and everyone carrying a gun. Fearful of the other, the unknown, the criminal, the racial, the government, the foreign, the gay, the religious, the rich, tge poor, the homeless, the political, fearful of losing privilege and power - guns for everyone - why have a background check. Arm the entire country. Pull it from my cold dead hands. Fuckin hopeless end of the free society experiment called democracy. Sad fuckin people. Sad. School shootings are the norm. Just fuckin sick and sad. Fuck your guns.
