I dont just mean police and military, andy uniform in general. People trust mechanics in a company uniform more than a guy in a t shirt with their car, uniformed hotel staff, etc. Its a subconcious thing with people

I always assume mechanics are trying to rip me off.

Yeah it is rather satisfying to imagine taking out the bad guys. But just remember that they are probably going to be armed as well. And I can tell you from personal experience some of them not only have the ability,but the willingess to use their weapon of choice.

In other words some of the felons (as well as low level petit crooks) in this world are very capable. Kind of like going to war. The other side is also going to be fighting.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Is this going to turn into a cop bashing session? Really? I'm the first to admit there are bad cops out there, but lets try not to engage in sterotypes and cliches. Please.

My inspiration for my costume comes from V and Rorschach.

I have had some very friendly informative encounters with the police, I've had some pricks. But my initial attitude is of cautious distrust, not outright revolutionary hostility.

I would call myself "Akimbo Gunfighter" and I would carry two Glock 17s, a piton gun, incendiary and flashbang grenades. I'd wear black cargo pants, Kevlar Vest and a paintball mask.

A Guy Fawkes mask with continuously shifting facial features? That would make you look like Salvador Dali's Mr. Potatohead.

I meant the Panama Hat and the duster with the Guy Fawkes mask.
