Naah, I've got plenty of xtra Armani clothing to deal with that if it should happen. I'm thinking more in terms of the american habit to bring their vehicle wherever they go, little worried about overcrowded parking and clogged xits.

As for the music, Sharp dressed man comes to mind.

Looks like I was wrong about that...
It is a felony, whether licensed or not, to carry a firearm on the premises of a racetrack (horse, dog or automobile).
But it's only a misdemeanor to carry one while at a football game. :lol:
