Austrian firearms + Mexican restaurants = Today
Today in a nearby Mexican restaurant I saw a chap in civilian clothes carrying a very dandy Glock, probably a 17 or 22, on a belt holster, completely unconcealed. Evidently, as it turned out, he was a plainclothes cop, or some such like. I didn't quite work up the courage to ask him about or compliment him on it: I wasn't quite sure how he would take it, and whether he would want me to draw attention to his pistol in the middle of a public building. But it was slightly unsettling (never seen it before on someone not in police uniform) and also rather cool, in retrospect.

How did you find out he was a cop?
There was a police van outside the restaurant, and one of the employees at the restaurant, who seemed to know him, carried on a conversation with him that had suggestive words like "arrest" and "our service" and other such in it. :-)
