Wow! Considering what a heavy-handed response you can get on the London
Underground from wearing a denim jacket, I'd hate to wear something that
bulky. I'd be glad to have a shoulder holster if it were really
well-contoured (though I have my doubts that it's possible) -- for when I
wear a suit and don't want to carry a briefcase or whatever -- but that
thing looks thick enough to be mistaken for a machine pistol!
I could imagine being regarded as "provocative" and being detained just to
teach me a lesson. On a good day. Or I could just find myself sent off to
meet Jean Charles deMenezes ...
Shalom.
Christian
