That's really what this entire thread is all about, isn't it?
Two famous turners of my acquaintance had a huge falling out over guy one doing a turning demo, while wearing a 9MM strapped to his hip. Guy two was quite upset over the added risk of "packing" while turning. This happened shortly after guy one made a big thing about not going to the AAW symposium in Conn, due to the state rules about concealed weapons.
Then guy one was invited to demo at that symposium, and did, I remembered his statement, but carefully never mentioned it.
Making sawdust mostly, sometimes I get something else, but that is more by accident then design.
