From the tone of your posts in general, it sounds like you need to attend a serious firearms course. You'll find out what gear and skills you need. Then, if others don't like your gear, to hell with'em.
It's pretty funny that the good ole' boy gun toters chuckle at a guy wearing a LBV while they're dressing up like Roy Roger's and playing Lone Ranger or spending big bucks to shoot ceramic frisbees. I mean it's not like they are going to be attacked by Indians or clay pigeons.
