I avoid the 'strange' places, like truck stops. I try to blend in....

Don't know how you can carry in all 50? Even Utah leaves a few behind.

But I think the big cities attract these types. Avoid the cities and you avoid them.

Be extremely politically incorrect!! It works every time for me. Especially when I threaten to find a policeman or policewoman. Tell them to call the president that they voted for!!!!!

A bud of mine and I are in the parking lot of chick filet and saw this guy walking through the parking lots scanning .
The crazy magnet ( me ) attracted him to us. He started his wind up and i pointed to the line of cars and said "Hey, go ask that Police Officer right there...he'll help you!!!" The dude left after I yelled it a couple of times. We were both armed and very proficient, but Yelling "There's a Police Officer" works VERY well.

The police officer gig works really well but I prefer to insult them AND tell them I am about to call the cops. Most of them seem to follow you wanting hand outs! Get a JOB!
