There are often reasons why you need to somewhere and taking
a gun is reasonable. But if all you want to do is proclaim
your "manliness" stay home. Many DAs will look up your
blog, public statements and take you to court because you
were "looking for trouble" and that will cost you $5-10,000
if the jury finds you innocent.

That's assuming that I'm stupid enough to stay around afterwards... Or
there's not a creek nearby with a friendly gator...
