sassnetguy50 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Are sombreros common enough in California that they don't raise eyebrows? Background thought: what if people wore a sombrero and pointed without speaking as protest to the video and audio recording requirement. I've had Mexican customers who point, hand over a note or a cell phone with an english speaker. Some have worn wide brimmed landscaper hats, never a sombrero.

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 For SASS matches? I have seen some. There are no issues with them. Not really a sombrero, but this is my hot weather hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to assume you mean like Calvera and his gang wear. Outside of parades, celebrations, and such I don't recall seeing anyone wearing a sombrero.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Saw maybe two in 37 1/2 years that were not in parades or rodeos or some other show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 When I lived in CA the only time I saw a sombrero was at a cowboy action match or Mariachis performing at public events and parades. I used to have a hat like the one @Injun Ryder, SASS #36201Lposted, but I only wore at matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Shot for several years with a friend who had a complete "Vaquero" outfit, replete with a gorgeous Sombrero. The Sombrero wasn't some cardboard tourist thing either. I also have a rather "large" Palm hat that resembles a Sombrero for Summer matches. I call it "Portable Shade."

Alpo Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Just wear a baseball cap and sunglasses. If you're really worried wear a hooded sweatshirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good way to become shot. Back when my wife worked at a local gun shop/indoor range a guy came in wearing his motorcycle gear, including helmet and gloves. Everybody looked at him. He walked in a few more feet, took off his right glove....we all moved to where we had a clear view and field of fire (the owner let me carry there because I was off the books help)...he unzipped his black leather jacket and reached in with his right hand.... everyone's hand went to their carry gun....he pulled out his glasses....then took his helmet off. The senior guy in the store explained to him why what he did was a Bad Idea. Gun shops around here had signs up during the Pandemic Scare that it would be much appreciated, and much safer for the customers, to take off the mask before entering.

A hooded sweatshirt will be required in the future as they develop ear databases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
