If you see this coming at you, what is the proper warning shot protocol?

He's from Quebec, just distract him with some squeeky cheese. Better yet put it on fries and cover it with gravy!

Looking good, Frankie. However, we need to see your belt, pants, and shoes too. The belt and shoes better go together or else you lose mucho cool points.

Whatcha gonna do with the OJ gloves? From my experience, they sure don't keep your hands warm in cold weather (altho this is your summer getup), and they wear through quick if you try to do any real work in them...

That's what I wanted, no warm gloves. I wanted a more compact version of work gloves for emergency situations.

The belt matches the shoes. The belt is a one piece leather so that I can strop my knives on it. My light wool socks match my trousers also.
