Not completely true, I carry a mace gun on my front Camelbak strap. It is hard to tell what type of gun it is. Twice I have had drivers start getting out of their cars, I have simply put a hand near the gun and ask "do you really want to get it on" and they ran away.
Pointing to a video camera can have a similar affect.
