Careful. In simpler, saner times this would be seen as a basic compliment or light-hearted banter. Today, unfortunately, it could get one into major trouble depending on the sensitivity of the recipient of the compliment.
Hopefully the legal ownership and training with firearms becomes a growing trend among the law-abiding black community so that they can defend against the thugs in their midst who overwhelmingly target those within their own communities. It may also wake some people up to the anti-Constitutional goals of the democrats who want all law-abiding citizens disarmed.
Or downright creepy. :-)
