    Me neither. Or I would keep them in my vest pocket until needed.

    I agree with this as well.

    As for the bald issue, a wise Methodist minister once told me that you only get so many hormones in this life and some people waste them growing hair.

    I would find someone who does glass etching or one with glass bead blaster. I have both but you are prolly so far away tho.

    I've spray painted a pair and they worked just fine. I used a flat primer spray paint.

    I second the suggestion made earlier. Keep them on a zinger pinned just barely inside your vest. They'll be easily accessible when you need them, not visible when you don't.

  7. Default Great feedback

    Hey guys thanks for the input. I guess the dazzling picture caught my eye and i didn't see the matte black choice.

    The very best advice ever brought to the world was given to me recently. It would be selfish not to share; so here are the details...oh...hey...look something shiny.
