To whom it may concern:

I have been prescribed an emotional support gun. It isn’t a toy. It’s a working gun — a Casual Reactive Ultra-Tactical Comfort Handgun, if you want to get technical about it. My CRUTCH helps me cope with normal (but sadly stigmatized) feelings of abandonment, weakness and fear.
