Actually, despite what people may think is a troll question, this is a good question. I, too, have seen people wear ski masks during the extreme cold, however, I've never seen someone OC while wearing one. I would suggest that if the environment called for it (such as the extreme cold, like you said) then it wouldn't warrant alarm. However, you should take it off upon entering businesses.

I can't answer as to what the police, prosecutor, judge or jury would say though, just how I would personally feel.

Again, I can't say I wouldn't feel a bit alarmed if I were out jogging at night, and I encountered a sole man, whom is armed, and sporting a ski mask, especially in the areas I go jogging at.

I don't know really. Good question.

Serious like a heart attack?

Or like the fact you've done nothing but post troll posts here?

Hmm. Don't know.But I am smart enough to know I'm not going to volunteer to be the test case...

Also: Why would you want to? If it's cold enough outside to be wearing a ski mask, isn't it cold enough to be wearing a winter over-coat (which would cover the weapon, anyway)???

LOL You would think...

Why not just conceal it if you're going to put something over your face?

Maybe because he/she doesn't have a CPL!

U8Dust is a long time troll, most all of his posts are absurd and asinine. I personally think he should be banned, as his intention appears to be making us look bad.

Just my 2-cents.

So does the sun rising in the east mean that day is on the way? And I was serious with this answer!

I can't remember where I read it, but there was a guy wearing a hoodie who went to the bank. I don't think he had a handgun, but I thinkthe judge sent him to jail.

He may be a troll but at least he's funny and thinks outside the box with questions that really make ya think. I dont think if I saw someone outside with a "holstered gun" anda ski mask "when it's cold", I would think twice about it. As we all know, or dont know of is criminals that walk around open carry in a holster. Gun or not anyone with a ski mask should or any mask should have to reveal their face for security camera upon entering business's. I would be leary if someone was inside a store and still had the mask on.

That would work fine...for people who are not bank robbers and actually obey laws.

For people with criminal intent they will just ignore the rule against wearing a mask, just like they are ignoring the law against robbing banks and carrying a gun while committing felonies.

As for trolls,
