Oh boy this is going to degenerate into a bad old Americans with guns
things.  If *I* were out and I saw a red dot appear on my body, my first
reaction would be that someone is taking aim at me, and you're damned right
I'd shoot back.  Or should I just wait and find out of it's someone with a
laser pointer or a criminal intent on harming me?  This is the land where
drunks CAN carry guns.  Not some communist police state where the subjects
have been denied the ability to defend themselves.  Anyone have the
unsubscribe instructions?
