Yeah, well, I’m from a country where concealed carry permits don’t even exist. The only people with guns are basically the police, military and hunters. If someone showed up dressed like that to apply for a gun permit here, I’d personally see it as a huge red flag. But I have different standards for the US, where things are already quite different to begin with.
I enjoy a good sparring session too. It’s nothing personal - it’s just a shame so many people take it that way.
