Yeah, I know. One of my typical replies to sarcasm - take the claimed
position to its logical extreme. It doesn't indicate that I take any of
the original seriously - in fact, quite the opposite.

 PN> Well...have someone point one at you to find out first.  I'll take

No thanks. Rule 1 - never point any firearm at something you don't intend
to shoot. I never plan to be in that situation if at all possible.

Hey, didn't Patton have a chrome revolver? Normally, I'd rather not bring
attention upon myself by a pistol that stands out - then again, that is
illegal here anyway.
Much as I like the concept of legal open carry, around here only cops and
security guards are allowed (and the latter only while on duty). If I
tried, I'm sure I'd be in jail so fast my head would spin. :-(
