    Jon,
    I think this is a shot of Lucas Oil Stadium (home of the Indianapolis Colts) in Indianapolis. I saw these pics in the local paper ahead of the last time they were in the Super Bowl. My guess is that there are 6-8 of these nests spaced around the structure...

    The concentration & the back ache would not suit most of us.

    Thanks for posting & ditto to Ralph's observation which was my first thought.

    Yep that would make me feel safer attending one of those events knowing at any time there could be half a dozen paid assassins perched in secrete locations above.
    I'd feel a lot safer knowing that every concealed carry permit holder was packing.

    Problem with the conceal carry, the police do not know one is a good guy, as was demonstrated in the mall shooting last month.
    The good guy was killed the bad guy was never found!!

    I can just imagine fifty concealed carry good guys having a shot out with one supposed bad guy in a crowd of thousands.

    I understand where you are coming from and though I firmly believe in constitutional carry, but as far as open carry goes I would not wear mine out for the world to see in a crowded public place out here in the country it is a much different story. Many out here mostly ranchers have pretty much always carried even before the state adopted the concealed carry years ago

    When I was a kid all of the pickups had a gun across the rear window!! The Constitutional "Right" (which came by an amendment by the way)
    only got the guy killed in the mall shooting the cop only saw a black guy with a gun. He didn't even think that he might be a good guy, he just shot him dead.

    Sorry but that doesn't say much for some police officers does it.

    That's the world we exist/live in, unfortunately, but the good ones go a long way making up for corrupt & reckless, thoughtless ones.

    cheers
