This might explain all those tragic boating accidents.
If I am not armed, there is a reason, and usually quite a bit of thought behind it.
Happened to me several years back. We had a honey hole tucked away in the middle of Virginia Beach which I was sure no other human knew about. Been there dozens of times and never saw anyone. Last time I went I literally walked into a squat and the two dudes there were not happy to see me. I got out of there quick like and never went back.
Should you? Just watch the movie “Deliverance.”
I believe it’s better to always have a popgun on your person when you’re out fishing. For rabid critters both two and four legged.
I used to carry a .357 in a Tupperware in the center console. Of course, that was in the Gulf of Panama where there were actual pirates.
There's at least a fifty percent chance that this is just a totally made up bullshit story that someone pulled out of their ass just like Joe Biden.
Oh wait. This is ASJ again... One could reasonably conclude that the chances of that are just a bit higher.
My wife asks...”Why carry a gun everywhere?” My reply...”Honey, if you could predict the exact moment I’d need it, I’ll leave it home until that particular moment.”
Yes
I am always armed. I practice with my daily carry and home defense weapons at least twice a month. All of my weapons are clean, well maintained and loaded with reliable, no-nonsense defense ammunition.
Never is it my intention to be a hero. But I will not be a victim.
Physically I am about as average as can be. And I’m getting older and slower. Generally I strive to be cheerful, kind, and helpful to everyone I meet.
But don’t try to harm me or mine. You’ll get stung badly and possibly will not survive the encounter.
Also...”He recommended I contact the guys at gunfightersinc.com, as they have the perfect solution while wearing waders.”
Good luck with contacting gunfightersinc.com. I submitted a request thru their web contact page asking if they produced holsters for two particular guns. Never heard from them.
I replied "I do on Sunday but right now I'm fishing." And I turned back to the lake as he walked away.
I was so relieved but it then occurred to me how alone a sport fisherman in the forest can be. It might safer to be armed while fishing in todays world.
The scariest, most deadly animal in the forest?
The hu-man.
I’ve run into bums in the woods. Not a big deal. But this guy fishes in a place where there are a lot of angry people. Most people fishing are happy dudes.
While I understand the solution of personal protection to handle one of the symptoms of this problem, it ignores the actual problem.
Squatters are denying access to public spaces. If this was a company doing it, there’d be a million lawsuits forcing them out of business for denying access.
Tell me why squatters can get away doing this and a pathway to putting an end to it... That's what we really need. Oh, and more constitutional carry.
“I once saw John Wick kill 3 men in a bar with a fishing rod. A fishing rod! Who the fk does that?”
Always. I often fish “off grid” in remote areas of the Catskill Mountains where some of the best trout streams on not even on a map. I carry a .357 revolver, not so much to protect against other people; but to protect against black bears, coyotes and coy-dogs, and rabid raccoons, skunks, and foxes, etc.
Fill in the blank with just about anything and the answer for me will most likely always be the same.
