20. OK, since we're on the same side, here's what to do with those vests:

Start by buying about 10 of them. Set up a booth outside a restaurant and/or bar that's catering to the open carry trade. Announce to potential patrons as they enter that there may be open carry types already in the place, and offer to let people wear the vests for protection while at the establishment and then return them when they leave (take drivers license info from the users to ensure orderly recovery of the vests). Arrange for every media outlet possible to be aware of what you're doing and for them to be on-site, in advance, to interview and film the vest-wearing patrons. Have spotters to identify potential patrons who decide not to go in the place, due to their aversion to open carry dangers, and have the media interview these people and broadcast their misgivings. Repeat as needed, over and over and over again. Pray to God you don't get shot in the process. If you are killed by an open carrier, have the service at the National Cathedral in D.C. with Gabby Giffords delivering the eulogy. World without end, amen.
