One of the states I live in has a law that you can not CCW or open carry a gun and wear a mask at the same time... an old hold over law from when the Klan was active. During the height of mask insanity I would open carry and when people would challenge me about wearing a mask I would just point to the gun and tell them it is against the law for me to wear a mask... the mental acrobatics that would follow were always entertaining.
