The offended wimps you mention should be more concerned with the good will of their armed neighbors than with their prissy dislike of the sight of an “equalizer.” The folks carrying are equipped for far more contingencies than the folks who aren’t — and if something nasty should arise, the unarmed will “free ride” on the expenditure, foresight, and courage of the armed.

Except that my argument isn’t against being armed. I strongly encourage being armed–but not openly, unless you have no other choice.
