Nothing guaranteed a quiet seat in a restaurant, free from children, like the smoking section.
Or walking in one with an AK-47 in an Open/Carry state.
That shuts up people really quick.
Kingnobody uses Damp. Ramyrez is afflicted with Damp Towel effect.
Pffh. People exercising open carry with rifles of any kind are the one group of people I
don't pay any attention to, because that's the only thing those people want.
Personal defense is a reasonable sidearm, open or concealed, that you can access quickly, with practiced* motion. I would actually prefer concealed because while you might scare of some low-level lowlifes with open carry, you're more likely to just warn any serious criminal what to look out for. And so many people with carry permits think they're Wyatt Earp, if a bad guy already has a weapon out the chances of your quick draw getting you anything but dead is slim. Take any advantage you can get and unless you're sure, just give 'em your damn wallet and file a police report.
*Practiced is so important. I know quite a few people who have concealed carry permits but then I watch them take their gun off/out for whatever reason and half the time they're fumbling with the catch or something and it's just like...
"You are so *** in an emergency situation."
