Trespass

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, I say...

hallelujah!!!! you are correct......thank you

If I'm camping overnight or have my kids with me I will have a gun. Don't need it to feel like a badass I already know that I am.

But the argument about I'm not going to carry because nothing has ever happened is just ignorance that means nothing. But I respect everyones decision not to carry and I would hope you would respect mine.

I'm curious what safety measures you take with a gun and kids around on a camping trip? I presume it's loaded and you have easy access to it.

As a avid hunter Guns in campsites are very common. With kids around I simply keep them locked in a gun case and in the truck locked or in the gun safe if in a lodge. As for a Concealed I keep it on my person at all times, when sleeping it is still next to me. Its not hard to keep a firearm safe. Its the guys who like to play with them i worry about, but have a solution to them. I stick a blank in the gun and when they pull the trigger its a lesson they never forget and breaks them of it very quickly.

I usually let my 6 year old carry it in his Pokemon backpack.

Well first I teach my kids things, just like my parents did. They know what is a toy and what is not. Those are parenting skills that a lot have forgotten. And it's not loaded and I don't have easy access to it. I doubt they know I even have it with me.

You guys need to get over the thought that we are traveling down the river looking for a fight. I will avoid that at all costs. But I'm not afraid to defend myself or anyone else when I need to.

I almost always carry a couple of hand grenades with me when I go fishing, or an RPG. I've had instances where I'm wade fishing and I come around a stretch of river, and dangit if there isn't a well fortified pill-box set up on the hill overlooking the stretch I want to fish, and a 2 man team with a heavy machine gun laying down withering fire on my position. I used to carry a flame thrower for just those situations, but the fuel tanks were a little heavy after a while. The nice thing about the hand grenades is -- the hillbilly meth-heads think I'm just throwing rocks at them. The look on their face when they figure it out too late almost gives me more satisfaction than my fishing.

LOL

this scene will not stop playing in my head and it is hysterical.

I wasn't saying you are looking for a fight. Did anybody else?

I was honestly curious about the safety measures to take if it was all loaded and ready to go. Out at a campsite you don't have as many options as you would at home.

BTW, I know my dad never knew that I knew he had a loaded pistol in his top left dresser drawer under some hankerchiefs. He thought it was out of reach, heh, heh. Just sayin'.

Pulling out a gun during a fist-fight will land you in prison. The world isn't full of evil strangers, y'all have just been brainwashed.

Do you carry lightning strike protection and a snake bite kit too?

Yep, I am flexible enough to put my head between my knees and kiss my @$$ goodbye...although, my rear is large enough that it might dissipate the voltage to a safe limit where I am just having bm issues later in the day, hmm...might want to find out for sure.
