It's to deter any person who may want to walk the street with a concealed weapon or explosive device.

So anyone who may at some future stage want to walk the street with a concealed weapon or explosive device is to be deterred from at some future stage wanting to walk the street with a concealed weapon or explosive device? And all this well before they get to the stage of walking the street with a concealed weapon or explosive device?

Must be an interesting conversation. "Do you want to walk the street with a concealed weapon or explosive device?"
"The thought hadn't occurred to me."
"Well make sure it doesn't or we'll blow your head off."

Cool.

There'd be no hard feelings on my part...

It's all very well for upright citizens such as you lot, but I find it more difficult as I get older.

[JohnSkelton]

Will they be firing blanks?

[Flosshilde]

Get a grip on yourselves.

[Northender]

This could prove to be a real boner contention.

Oh boys will be boys, such stiff competition

At the third stroke, it will be time to return to the topic...

Can't wait for Anna to check back with this thread...

Perhaps she is maintaining a dignified (or horrified) silence
