Looks and why they work.

I dress the same in "urban social environments" as well,

And a lucky bastich you are for being able to!

. . .but thanks for the condescending tone. It reminds me of why I moved from the Bay area years ago.

Condescending?

I'm truly sorry if it came across that way, I'm not sure how or why that was.

Don't want to go on a rant here that would get me in trouble; but I'll say this for the record, hopefully only once, and solely for the sake of clarification:

I regard the ability to own and carry personal weapons of whatever sort one desires as a defining ("not sufficient but necessary") characteristic of a free human being. In the past I have been very socially and politically active, both openly and covertly, in accord with this view. People I have regarded as personal friends for many years include the likes of Don B. Kates Jr., an attorney who was highly instrumental in getting both of the major anti-self defense laws foisted on San Francisco (the first by someone who is now a US Senator) overturned as violative of the California Constitution. Just so's you know.



EDIT: I can only conclude it was something about this part:

"non-urban asocial (or 'minimally social') environment".

Please note that I said "asocial", not "antisocial". That was in reference to the facts that your photos show no other people, and the surroundings imply a very low immediate population density. That's all I was getting at, and I apologize for the misunderstanding and apparent offense.
