We went to Deer Camp South, Eaker likes to bring all his toys with him. A person needs a different weapon when dealing with snakes, an alligator & evil cattails. ;-)
I can understand that. I like to drag all my stuff out whenever I can. My back doesn't, but I do. :) Time to buy TheGirl, TheGun. Of course given the laws these days, it'll have to remain the property of TheParents. IIRC, you could get in trouble for allowing her unsupervised access to it, possiblly even if she used it to defend herself. Kids in California are dead because of a similar Stupid Law for stupid people. Killed with pitchfork when the young girl couldn't get to the guns because of "lock up your safety"/"safe storage" type laws.
