Trespass

Says the guy who thinks the government is sending planes into the sky to spray us.

Noooo, that's horse crap! Tinkering with the weather, yeah. I think THAT.

Here's how you handle a situation like rounding a bend on a float trip and encountering someone that you feel has intentions of doing you harm. You just say "yo dude, Heads Up. what's with all the lawdogs upstream?" He/they say " WTF are you talkin' about", Then you say " F#@k I dunno, but I'm packin' a bag o weed so I need to get on downstream, later".

It's all about how you carry yourself. Works better than sitting there looking nervous and wondering if you should reach for your "equalizer". And yeah I've been there, talked my way out of a knife fight on the Niangua (see thread about area below tunnel).

And what if you couldn't have talked you way out of a knife fight? What then?

Yeah, if those 33 kids would have been packing heat, or you'd have been there, that would have all turned out better, right?

Oh, and way to miss the humor.

Wrench, I like your suggestion. I used something similar a few years back.

Maybe...no one will know if having a gun would have helped the situation. Although...if someone is shooting back at an attacker...I can see how this might slow him down a bit or even put him down before he had a chance to kill 33. Look at the facts of the case before jumping to any conclusions....you will find plenty of opportunities where an armed person could have took advantage of and ended the whole ordeal.

ya...didn't catch any humor.

Doesn't matter, I did. And I wasn't involved in an unavoidable head-on collision on the way home either. Imagine that.

Right...but did you still have you safety belt on?

Right...but did you still have you safety belt on?

I have to plead the 5th on that one. Don't wanna get a ticket in the mail.

Well in about a month call them and ask them for a little rain. I think that would be good.
