Hard to call it concealed, though…

Objects in cartoon are smaller than they appear.

Is this the third or fourth use of that gag? I don’t remember

Such a small dia. lens would have a very limited light gathering ability, and as its also very thin, it likely has a very small magnification factor. Thus, this magnifying glass is the equivalent of a Nerf gun …

But…he’s carrying it in the open……

It isn’t loaded, officer.

I wonder if it hurts to bend your antennae and put a hat on top?

Back then a magnifying glass was a weapon of mass destruction….

Where would he conceal it? The thing is as big as he is.

it’s hardly concealed

It’s okay, Officer. The magnifying is:

(Pick One)

1) Not loaded.

2) Not Mine.

3) I just found it.

4) It’s because I’m an “ant” isn’t it? ;)

It would indeed be ironic if he burned himself.

“Let’s not make this thing bigger than it really is, officer…”

While I get the joke, the punchline’s a bit off. It would have been just as easy to say, “You got a permit for that?”

How do you conceal it when it’s bigger than you are?

Not concealed. Got a permit to brandish?

I think that’s an open carry permit that’s needed.

Where do the batteries go? The officer of the law should have asked me that question in the early 1950s.

QUICK, CALL THE NMGA!
