When you are so deep into gun culture that you can’t get an MRI without a weapon on you.

The only thing that can stop a bad MRI machine with a gun is a good MRI machine with a gun.

He didn't get an MRI. He was standing near the MRI machine where his mother was getting an MRI.

What if the machine had AI, became sentient, and he had to shoot his way out. These things can happen. We have to stay prepared! Actually, how do we know that didn't happen? Maybe the machine knew it was in danger from the alpha male lawyer and IT pulled the trigger using its magnetic magic!!!
