Unless a legal activity directly affects me I don't care. I subscribe to the live, and let live doctrine, and have no drive to ridicule others. The only people I make fun of are peanut gallery warriors. All of them can dish it out but can't take it.

Not to hijack the thread, but I heard recently that she'll be starring in some beer commercials.
Colt 45! Colt 45! Colt 45!

I don't think that qualifies as an Aloha shirt. I want a shirt that hides my pony keg, not accentuates it!

IT TAKES ALL KINDS, & WE GOT EM IN FL.
OR FANNY PACK. Personally I like to use the thunderwear holster under my skin tight spandex bike shorts, it's much more impressive.
Yep, a step below a “they don’t know I have a gun” Hawaiian shirt.

Sort of the textbook definition of obtuse. No matter how many times we disprove these inane fantasies people still spout them.

About as logical as:
If a Hawaiian shirt says gun, there is a **** load of Hawaiians carrying illegally.

That statement fits most, that is most , cyclists to a t.
Let me get this straight. You don’t think most people on a bicycle should be riding a bicycle?
As for the shirt, I’ve got a crisp Benjamin for the first link to an article about a cyclist wearing that shirt who is targeted for his gun for wearing that shirt. Just because you don’t like or understand it, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. SMDH . . .

People tend to cross the street to avoid a fella with an AR around his neck. Seen it . . .

So, who is the "we", in your "we disprove these inane fantasies". My "spout" is based on the reality of thirty years working as an armed professional, and in the criminal justice system, at the municipal, county, state, and federal levels.
I personally investigated several cases where citizens "advertising" they were armed, and/or that they had guns in their homes, became victims of violent assaults and home invasions. They were targeted specifically for their guns. No "fantasies" here.
Please let me know where the "advertise you're an armed citizen" instructor teaches, so I can advise people to seek instruction elsewhere.

Please tell me the question for which that is the answer.

Are you only just now returning to reality, or is this all a new experience? Reality in this world says anything can happen. There really is 'nothing new under the sun'. Concealed carry peeps are targeted, open carry peeps are targeted, and unarmed peeps are targeted.
Is there any empirical evidence that the criminal element is trolling the streets looking to rob someone of their gun? No. Your mention of career field says a lot- a group traditionally against arming of the citizenry (your own views not relevant).

I'd love to see a single instance (verified by a link to a news article or something other than a personal anecdote) in which someone was shot first because of a "shoot me first" vest, shot or attacked because their fanny pack "screamed gun", or was targeted specifically for wearing an Aloha shirt.
NOT some open carry guy getting sucker punched and relieved of his Springfield XD.
I was an LEO for 33 years, and I've never seen it. Maybe it has happened, and I would love to have some evidence of such a thing.
I wore a fanny pack for years. I'm sure I could have rigged up a device to actually "scream gun" and nobody would have noticed. I could have Bedazzled "GUN INSIDE" on the front of it and nobody would have noticed.
My standard wear is jeans, Homer Simpson T-shirt, and unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt over it. For decades. As an FBI agent - (I worked far from adult supervision.) No one cares. And this was in some really nasty places.
No one cares if you're wearing a photographer's vest, fanny pack, or an I HAVE A GUN shirt. Except for the internet.
I will happily admit to being wrong once I am shown the error of my ways, but I suspect this is a bugaboo created by magazine article writers and tactical shooting school ninjas.

I don't know of any professional firearms training schools and/or professional instructors who teach that advertising you're an armed citizen carrying a concealed firearm in public is a smart idea. I've taken several courses at both Gunsite Academy and Thunder Ranch over the years. I know it's not taught at either of those schools.
Be polite and we can have a conversation. Of course "anything" can happen. I spent thirty years on the side of the victims of violent crimes so I know all about the "reality" of crime.
I'm also as far from being against armed citizens as it gets.
