THAT sounds like the scene in Mad Max Beyond <em>Thunderdome</em>
where Mel Gibson is checking in his weapons at the entrance to
Bartertown.<br>
<br>
What is the APRS symbol for "my-jaw-hit-the-floor"?<br>

<pre wrap="">Keep in mind that here in Utah there is no stipulation on the number of
firearms that one may conceal. I have started classes by asking how many
people think I'm carrying. The most I've ever done was 2 in a fanny pack,
two inside vest pockets, two in shoulder rigs, one in an ankle holster, and
one FBI mode. I could have added a couple more, but it was only for
illustration.
But, given that this is the case, for APRS - which one would one select if
one was to select one?
I'm done now.

<pre wrap="">If we were using the hierarchical symbol system from OpenTRAC (itself
derived from MIL-STD-2525B) then specifying exact weapon type wouldn't be
a problem.
Now, dealing with multiple attributes and a taxonomy that's not completely
hierarchical (caliber vs. manufacturer, as you pointed out) adds some
additional complications.

<pre wrap="">Putting aside the whole "concealed" carry aspect (which one does not

Glock
Colt
Beretta
etc.
Then some modifier for 9mm, .40S&W, .45ACP, .357, etc.
Then there would be the rifles that one might be carrying...

I think a simple human figure with gun in hand would make a nice symbol
for a person out and about carrying ARPS and a concealed weapon for
defense.
