I'm actually about to start the paperwork for a pistol permit. But I definately am getting a shotgun for the home defense anyway. That's why I was wondering if I should bother keeping it under wraps while on the move.

I guess I was confused and was wondering if it was better to be a poison tree frog (brightly colored to let all around know you shouldn't be messed with)or a, uh... boar, keeping to himself until provoked and then using his tusks.

Ok. Terrible analogy but I hope you get what I mean.
