13. I think it's probably inevitable, but all sanity is not lost.
Our gunny friend ONESHOOTER (Armed and Livin' in Texas) and I have come up with a kinda "bipartisan" solution.
All toters who carry concealed should be on a list, with name and address available to the public. That's ONESHOOTER's idea and a very good one, I must say. But, obviously, not enough, because the public has a right to know at all times. Like when the knights of old would be riding down the highway on their trusty steeds, their shiny swords would be visible to all and sundry, so that we, the poor defenseless peasants could get out of their way.
So, we came up with the idea of wearing something highly distinguishable like a large, pointy, cone shaped hat with a "G" on it. That would be "G" for GUN. I think my buddy ONESHOOTER (Armed and Livin' in Texas), got confused and thought the "G" stood for "German" and suggested that toters might wear a yellow, six pointed star. Well, I liked the star bit, but yellow and six pointed? Definitely not appropriate,. So we came up with a 5 pointed star with a "G" in the middle of the large, pointy, cone shaped hat.
So now, we need suggestions for colors.
Keep it real.

150. I think if you are carrying concealed you should wear something to alert people of that fact.
like a large visible badge, a tall cone shaped hat with a "G" on it, or a sandwich board advertising the fact. Just think, more stuff to sell at the good old gun show. Get a big "G" hat with every fashiionista fanny pack. The onus should be on you, not on others to figure out if you are on some list. That has to be the silliest question of the day, but at least you're starting to think outside the box a little.

161. Somewhat like the Germans had their own people wear?
You know, the yellow six pointed star? It would please you to require that of CHL holders?

163. You really show your true colors don't you?
So why not show your gun? Maybe a 5 pointed star on the big pointy hat would suffice.
Keep it real.

Just making sure.
