The problem is, if it is advertised in a gun magazine, I want it! It's just a trained response, sorta like Pavlov's dogs. It MIGHT help 1 in a 100 times, but NOT HELP, or worse, most of the time. My .02...

Like Guns magazine, for example. A recent ad pictured a shield-type badge, accompanied by flowery prose, like "Identify Yourself". "This Badge May Save Your Life". "Police Quality. Gold Plated". "100% Legal For Permit Holders", blah, blah, blah.
This is all advertising hype, of course, but people fall for it.
