| The part I disliked most was 38s or 9mm. Over arming was a liability. |

| Precisely. This is why you'd never hear me warning a mugger "Stop, I have a gun!". Because if they have a gun also, they might just decide to kill you immediately. I'm more likely to say "Okay, here's my wallet, please don't hurt me!". A smarter mugger might wonder why I'm reaching to 4 o'clock for my wallet, but then smart muggers are probably a rare breed. Another thing you might hear me say is "Please! I'm a pacifist!". =) I actually do look like I might be a pacifist too, and this idea amuses me endlessly.

Unless you have actually already drawn, you'd really need to be good at close-quarters combat to turn the situation around. Otherwise you're probably better off letting them have what they want and consider yourself lucky you made it out alive. Smarter lone muggers will go around chatting up different people trying to get money. If they see a good mark, they might try to intimidate you, and occasionally resort to a violent attack. These are the people you have the best chance of repelling; of course, they're also the easiest to deal with.

| Isn't the motivation behind concealed carry supposed to be not advertising in any way that you're carrying? Decals and CCW badges take that away. I would definitely not have decals or badges advertising that I'm armed or have guns nearby. That's just drawing unwanted and unnecessary attention to themselves. |

| There must be a market for them. I was amazed when I went to a Gun Show this weekend, and there was a vendor whose main product and advertising was for Concealed Weapons Badges. I don't know who comes up with these crazy ideas

| I have seen the same at gun shows. However, more bizzare than just seeing them is witnessing the number of people that buy them. |

| Ok, so I was mistaken only mentioning how foolish this is for people who conceal carry. I think it is equally foolish for people openly carrying to do this too. Just because someone is open carrying does not mean they're trying to draw attention to themselves or the fact that they're carrying. Just like a person who is concealing, their primary purpose is self defense. Thus, I believe that whether a person conceals or carries out in the open, the only purpose these decals serve is to bring unwanted and unnecessary attention to oneself. |
