| Message | The argument for concealed weapons is they scare criminals away from attacking anyone, as the old lady they are about to mug for her scrummy cake just ''might'' be packing a PDW! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_defense_weapon |

| Message | PAL: I'd rather know that someone has a weapon, then fear that they all do. |

| Message | I wasn't being entirely serious... However, I think the permit is a reasonable comprimise, because it allows bodyguards to carry concealed weapons which I would consider necessary. Concealing a weapon decreases the chances of your own weapon being used against you, I think. |
