I'll never be not amazed by this kind of discussion, however often I read them. :) Makes me a little happy to be on he other side of the atlantic ocean.

If you're out in the wilderness hunting or in a place where you can be hunted (by bears, mountain lions etc) that's understandable. Once I came across a hiker in the montains with a glock on his backpack shoulder strap for easy access in case of emergency. Nicest dude ever.

I like the legal protection for people like that but the downside is it allows stuff like this post to occur in public places.
