- This is true to a very large extent. When everybody knows each other,
- dishonest people get found out very quickly.

- Well, I'm a practicing nudist, and I'm usually armed, or have ready
- access to arms. Of course, I don't frequent CO resorts, or public
- beaches or the like. Most of my nudism is done at my property or at
- home. The only public nudism I usually engage in is with groups of
- cavers (where nudism runs rampant among otherwise abnormal people)
- during the times we're all together and not caving (what a concept!),
- such as the hot tub at convention, or any one of thousands of swimming
- holes that cavers tend to have an intimate knowledge of. If I'm out
- at my property or at home I don't worry about "what people might
- think". There's usually some type of arm nearby. In more public
- situations I'm a lot more discreet, usually people can't tell. My
- solution in public situations has been to have my weapon with my
- stuff, somewhere, and if it's a gun the magazine is removed and stored
- seperate. I know where it all is, but someone looking would have to
- take some time to find it, and my stuff never leaves my sight. I also
- carry a lock that has a very loud alarm (homebrew) so if anyone messes
- with it I'll know. There's never been a problem, and to date no one
- who doesn't know me has ever found out I'm armed without being told.
