:lol:We will require photographic proof.

I am going to be doing to handing-out of goodies - hubby will cruise the neighborhood with the boy. Before dark, though, we're going to a cul-de-sac party up the street, and if it's not raining, I *might* do a cowgirl costume with my K-frame, a leather Western wrap skirt, and whatever other cowboy-motif stuff I can find. Can't do that if it's raining, though - water no good with sueded leather, ya know - so if it's wet out, I'll just conceal my Ladysmith. But yes, I intend to carry.

hahaha so am I! Except I'll be integrating a fair amount of hunter orange into the costume. Now for the real question... Real shotgun or fake one? :p

ok..not a 12-gauge, but maybe my Ruger Single Six revolver (.22 mags a FUN toy!) anyway...is this alright from a legal standpoint? my brains says it must be, as this is Virginia and I'm on the front of my own residence...(and my firearms DO need a good cleaning, maybe even a bit of fluff and buff on the mouse)

but I'm having doubts.... am I a closet :uhoh:?

When the kids were little, I OCd w/shoulder rig. Couple of neighbors ask me if it was real - Duh, yeah. Response was frequently that nobody will steal their candy I guess. :D

legal doesnt mean the cops won't be called and show up with the 'what were you thinkin" attitude.

doesnt mean you're a closet anything, just cautious and i don't think many would blame ya.

if you do, i would advise having a digital recorder on hand.

Heard of one? Yes. Own one long enough to fully cover my skirt? No.

Halloween night I'll hopefully be playing a butcher since Halloween day I'll be dressed similarly to peter nap and for the same reasons.

To answer the obvious question though, I will be carrying all day, .45 in a holster, .50 on a sling. Don't try to steal my candy :dude:

If he was, then he should have asked one of the Sisters or the Father.

He doesn't want nun and can't get nun because he doesn't give a good frock. Pew.

So out of curiosity, how many of you are planning on dressing up for Halloween, and how (if) do you plan on carrying? My costume will not allow for me to carry so I'm curious as to what others are doing!

if you're having trouble carryingwithyour costume maybe you should try a different one. :lol:
