Maybe American soldiers in Iraq should try something like this.

Japanese people are weird. Cool, but weird.

I am sure it can be accommodated. Two birds in one stone: avoiding crime, and making money at the same time.:-)

By the way, you should try a devil statue camouflage. Seriously.:-)

By holding the sheet open and stepping to the side of the road, she showed how a woman walking alone could elude pursuers — by disguising herself as a vending machine.


Unless somebody wants to bust open a vending machine for free drinks and spare change. Then the situation would be both dangerous and awkward!

I am thankful I live in an area in which I can chose to wear a 357 magnum if I am being chased by “would-be assailants”

The wearer hides behind the sheet,

Those silly people. I wear a Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry II 45ACP,
It's not much to hide behind but it's forward can be very flashy.

I had a similar idea. I disguised myself as a fire hydrant. Didn’t work out too well.

I'm torn too... Time will tell. If you talk to some cops, real street cops, they've almost all got stories of "geniuses" that this kind of thing would fool.

It’s actually kind of sweet if you think about it.

Why don’t they just get a concealed weapon permit?

Question: How many doggies did you "meat/meet" so to speak?
