Packing Heat

“Guns on the trail- Ye or Ney?

Asnd where would you pack them? personnally I would wawnt them in easy reach, perhaps right on the hip belt.”

“This has been done about a dozen times.

Why the hell would you want a gun on the trail?”

“hey SC...get out on the trail and stop wasting space writing about unimportant things.”

“:P I would but I'm too busy working for a living :P”

“Or not working and posting on TT.”

“That's it! I've snapped! I'm bringing a gun to the next hike. Anyone who tries to steal my liquor, gets it!!!”

“I think TB has come up with a very good reason to carry a gun on the trail.
8D”

“Dang, the cookout will devolve into the OK Corral!”

“I'm bringing my perspective gun (from Hitchhiker's ').

You guys can shoot it at SC.”

“oh, wait.
Dang.
She's already a woman.
It won't work on her.”

“LOL at treebeard.”

“You'll just have to use another gun, precision!”

“I'M A COMIN' TO WEST VIRGINIA, YA LITTLE VARMINTS!!!!

“I thought this was going to be a gear thread about butane vs white gas stove efficiency. Then I remembered this is Trail Talk . . .”

“Well you have to shoot your meal before you can eat it. Dem critters ain't gonna just jump into the cookin' pot you know.”

“If Tree and Zac bring guns to stop my liquor pilferring at the next FYAO I am in SERIOUS TROUBLE.

Amy, Tara, HELP!”

“remember if you shoot it you have to eat it.

Now is Lyra going to add a "bite me" here ??”

“Glock 36. Light, compact, powerful. If one really felt that a trail gun was needed, this is the gun IMO. 6.88 oz with a full magazine (6x .45).”

“I always bring my 9mm berretta, just in case I run into Ossama.”

“I pack heat about 1/3 of the time I'm on the trail. I often use this:

“I like the bright orange packaging, they'd make good targets.”

“lol!”

“I had some really maloderous gas explode from me arse last night....does that mean i'm packing heat?”

“I'm a pretty warm person, so don't need to pack heat.”

“not with all that yeast anyway”

“I'm afraid of snakes so I have a little over/under derringer chambered for a .410 shotgun shell OR .45 long colt (which is about twice the size of the military .45) I bored it out so I could put the 3" shotgun shell in instead of the 2 1/2". Has a little kick.

Over the years, I've gone back & forth with carrying a pistol. I'd have to say in 35 years of hiking / backpacking / canoeing in many area's, I've never needed it.”

“Sacco was right, I just picked up a new flamethrower that has a hydration bladder and a little mesh pouch for stuff. It's awesome.”

“I just heard on the radio this morning that Indiana has made it legal for permit holders to carry in all state parks effective immediately.”

“Thank you sir. I guess I was just too durn lazy.”

“No big deal.”

“I heard the feds were stepping in on the ccw laws and making one uniformed law so all packing states would be the same. I don't lik eit when the feds always jump in and fukc with the state's rights.”

“amen, nigal. Let that states decide for themselves.”

“But Ma Government knows what is best for us all.”

“Okay, I didn't need the officials' description of a guy trying hide a gun in a speedo thank you very much.”

“Gun schmun, give me my great grandfather any day of the week....(LOL)”

“Is that a gun in your speedo, or are you just happy to see me?”

“HeHe!
I carry a Gov't model in my bannana hammock! LOL!
The women flock to me...
LMAO!
Come on Tree, you know women like going to the beach and seeing a 400lb man in a speedo.

Honestly though, If I put my pack on at the TH and one of you had intended to do a 3 day trip w me and saw me putting my .45 onto my hipbelt you would get back into the car and go home. I am in favor of this law only for the fact that not being able to carry in a park is rediculous. I still have no plans of bringing my piece on a BP trip. I would have more use for my 22" machette if I just felt I needed to carry some more weight.”

“I used to carry, but then it hit me...the more holes I put in them the more I have to treat them. Besides my worst experience was more than solved by NUMBERS.”

“Do you pack a gun in your daily life? There is less chance of having a problem in the woods than there is on the street.”

“I usually do not. The problem with my job is I do investigations of fires I do not perform arrests. Additionally I will only carry if it looks like this is a potentially violent situation. The majority of my investigations are in Inner City Public Housing Units...I have never had a need to carry there...so”

“Yes I do FLH. Every day. You are right though. There is more danger on the street than the back country. With out a doubt. I can see where this may be a benefit to some day hikers in crowded parks, and parks near more urban areas. Women walking alone on the Monon trail for example. Something like that.”
