When Fishing/hiking, Do You Carry A Handgun?

[Greasy B]

Oh I gotta hear this! What were you reported to have done that caused them to draw down on you without a questioning session first?

,.......................................................................................................

The first time was a sad incident where a mentality disturbed women told the police my friend and I were on our way to her house with guns to exact justice for some cruelty her child had endured at the hands her boyfriend. Well there was no cruelty and we didn’t have any guns and for all I know there wasn’t boyfriend either. The other time was in a bar when it was raided in the name of the war on drugs. The local police along with the feds burst into the place with guns raised and screaming for everyone to hit the floor. About a hundred patrons were held at gun point for about 4 or 5 hours while a searched for the drug dealers and the contraband was conducted. I’ll never forget the jelly bellied cop with the pearl handled revolver aimed at my head. His hand was shaking and beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead. When it was all said and done they held and searched us in violation of our 4^th amendment right and the only evidence of a drug deal was a couple of joints someone threw on the floor. In a subsequent law suit the authorities admitted that they had no warrent or real justification by settling prior to trial.

Man, I'm starting to think I've lead a charmed life. I've never had a gun to my head, been detained, falsely accused by a crazy person, had my car egged, been hassled by raccoons, had to finish off road-kilt deer, encountered meth cooks, been run off a public stretch of stream, wild/stray dogs/hogs, twitchy/toothless folk, or beach-ball-tossing fornicators.

My buddy went thru a pretty ugly divorce and his new girlfriend was a real pistol. One night they argued and she picked up a bathroom scale and whacked him on the head. He pushed her back and she fell. With a smile on her face she called the cops who promptly showed up and and got right up in his face with drawn clubs. Point is, as long as its a 100 lb women they will believe anything she says.

Oh and there’s the time thought I was being robbed at bologna point, but that’s a story best saved for a gravel bar campfire.

Greasey B if you would read about some of the real things that have been pointed at people to rob them you would roll in to the river. Sommme of our crooks need help.They leave there name and address.No kidding. rfc

You are clearly overdue to arm yourself.

Each one of these impending personal disasters will require a different weapon or ordinance.

I've never had a gun to my head

(For that you will need 8 guns and a Depends undergarment),

been detained

(4 guns and an FOP sticker for the back window of the car),

falsely accused by a crazy person

(10 guns and a straight jacket)

had my car egged

, (3 guns and a pan with some bacon in it)

been hassled by raccoons,

(2 guns and a picture of Fess Parker)

had to finish off road-kilt deer,

(1 gun, and a butcher knife)

encountered meth cooks

, (12 guns and a "Breaking Bad" Fan Club T-shirt)

twitchy/toothless folk,

(16 guns and a banjo)

or beach-ball-tossing fornicators.

(3 guns and a video tape of "The Golden Girls")

Just keep all that stuff handy and you should come out OK. Some kevlar wouldn't hurt either. Especially for the frying pan.

Yep, and he's lucky she lacked more imagination !

Greasy, bet that incident never made the news. Wow, I have seen similar, but not with near enough witnesses.

[Haris122]

Greasy, you've been through some tough dung. I'd hate to have a gun pointed to any part of me once, much less as many times as you. Once something like that happens I'd be carrying too.
