This is by far the best spin off series, ever! I must say, wasn't expecting much.

I thought they explained that pretty thoroughly. Physically, he's fine without one. But also, he checked the situation out well before he even showed up at the meet. He knew the drug dealers needed it to go smoothly more than the guy he was protecting. |

He didn't need a gun, that's why he didn't take one. He carries one often in BB, IIRC.

Spoiler!
The bottom line is that HHM did what virtually any firm in their shoes would have done in the same situation had Jimmy come in off the street with that case, no ties to the firm and an online degree. Hell, the offer they made him was actually better than I expected (20% of the common fund isn't ****ing around). The leap that I can't quite make here is that a litigator as presumably articulate and honed as Chuck wouldn't have been able to give his justification there in a manner that wasn't so scorched earth. It seems to me that he just got caught flat-footed and flustered as hell. In either event - still damn good television and great work by all the actors involved. Really outstanding show.

McGill's done at least 3 things that would have had him dis-barred in the first season alone. Let's not get too crazy holding him out as a paragon of virtue just yet. It's not hard to find a guy that would've spotted overbilling without also bringing in the red flags that Jimmy carried with him in the incredibly recent past.

Mike's the kind of guy who would carry a gun to a drug deal but not let anyone around him know he was carrying.

I'm not gonna argue one way or another, just gonna enjoy this wonderfully told story. As for Chuck, he was just being dishonest about his emotions and with his brother - and lord knows that never happens in regular life.

But that's also the mark of a well-written show. I think a smart show is wise to show human fallibility there in Chuck - none of us are immune to pride and being the 'favored' sibling is a nice source of it. A smart viewer recognizes that this doesn't make Chuck the devil. It makes him a dynamic, relateable character in a very artfully crafted show.
