Guns: Robbing the Wrong Guy

If you're going to hold up a used car salesman, don't rob the one in the NRA hat.

As an aside, I'm not fond of wearing second amendment related merchandise while carrying. Whenever I see someone wearing pro-gun t-shirts or hats, I start looking for tell-tale lumps or concealment devices. Is that a fanny pack placed in the cross-draw position? A big lump on their belt? A "photographers" vest with nary a camera in sight? Come on people, at least try.

I remember way back when one of the News Journal Columnists, maybe Rhonda Graham, suggested that Delaware should require individuals exercising their concealed carry permits to wear a special identifying badge to let people know that they were armed. It was a very stupid idea, especially considering the tiny number of Delawareans who are actually allowed to carry by the state. Yet hundreds of gunnies do it to themselves when they walk out of the house.
