And that polite conversation ended when gentlemen quit carrying sidearms.

I didn't realize you were that old. That was about the time they quit
wearing top hats, too, wasn't it? d8-)

I've known a lot of people who carry sidearms, but none of them would
qualify as a gentleman.

If you occasionally consort with gentlemen, you very probably have
consorted with armed gentlemen. An armed gentleman has no need,
desire or intent to make you aware that he's armed.

I know several gentlemen who have carry permits, don't know if they
carry routinely or not. You and others on this NG may recall the
name Fitch Williams. I do know that Fitch carries routinely and that
he is an exemplary gentleman.

Every person who has personally met me, face to face, didnt appear to
know that I was carrying, unless the question came up and I volunteered
the information.. If anyone meets me, unless as a sex partner or
scrubbing my back in the shower, meets me when Im armed. Shrug...and
neither circumstance is likely to occur with the men here...chuckle....

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
