Sun Devil
Death and Taxes
Obviously the OP was wearing the following when constructing this thread:
Yes please tell everyone who is a potential threat that you are carrying and instead of simply giving up your money in the midst of getting robbed you'll most likely do the following:
1) Getting into an unnecessary shoot out in the streets possibly inflicting serious harm to bystanders (and possibly to the perpetrator(s) of the crime)
2) Misuse your weapon by imprperly discharging it because of a misunderstanding of behavior
3) Risk being killed first
I assume you've never read Sun Tzu's "Art of War," because as it would describe in the book you never allow your potential threat to know if you are armed or if you plan to attack. If you are "packing" always remain cordial, calm, and collected. Any street person that is a real killer wont care if you have a gun and a billboard that says "hey thug leave me alone I'm carrying." First thing they'll do if they're a real killer is shoot you in the face without warning.
People honestly think there are criminals that walk around acting like they'll rob you. No, crime happens when you least expect it. Having something that indicates you're carrying causes more harm than good. It's almost having a sign that tells potentials thiefs you have a dog in your backyard. Either the thief is simply going to kill the dog and commence robbing your house or they'll leave you a lone. In other words its a gamble with your life.
Would you walk down the streets of Mexico with patches and I.D's saying you are carrying? I think not because it wouldn't matter to the cartels who carry M4 rifles and are not reluctant to put a bullet in your head. So all in all, dumb idea.
