Re: Shooters?
You’ll forget about the zombie apocalypse? I figure that’s the only time I’ll need to start shooting. Except for hunting and all I hunt anymore is opening day dove and quail. Now that I’m older I may start carrying full time everywhere I go. Biggest threats to me have been while traveling and wheeling out in the desert. I never had to shoot in defense but I've ran a few times. I’ve always relied on my athletics to get me out of a jam. I can’t do that anymore.

Re: Shooters?
Oh, yeah, I did forget about the zombie apocalypse.
The original question was whether anyone carried a handgun while on the stream. None of the places I fish are likely to be the scene of a gun battle between me and criminals.
I support responsible gun ownership and use. Not everyone is responsible enough. Every so often we have another tragic story in Wisconsin or Minnesota of a child killing a friend or himself while handling a bedside firearm. Most of the guns used by gang members in our nearest metro area are stolen from legal owners.

Why would anyone pack heat while fishing if I may ask?

I don't... of course, if I had my concealed carry license, I'd pack all of the time... :twisted:

I am a big supporter of the NRA. I enjoy Wing Shooting, and the more ya live in Tucson, a good pistol is important (along with a conceal carry permit).
even though I carry a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, a gun is better (especially love my Navy Colt Black Powder Cap & ball Six Shooter.......will knock a Bear on its' arse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the Walther P22.
I am deadly accurate with a Army issue 45.
I really like the Glock 9mm, the sub compact that I have shot felt like it was going to "jump" from my hand as I was shooting it. I will have to spend a little more time with it.
I also like Sig Saur, the 9mm is cool, like a spy agent hand gun.
One day, I will own a hand gun, I don't feel it is necessary, especially in the outdoors where it is safe. In the city??? Different story.
I enjoy shooting machine guns, I have shot so many when I was in the army, so many different kinds. They all have different personalities. The M-16 is so user friendly, it seems like a toy. The AK-47 even seems Russian, the UZI seems Jewish... The 50 cal I shot many times was like, "if you can see it, you can hit it" from so far away. I really like shooting full auto with every five rounds a tracer, that's how they used to do it at the ranges in the service. The tracer allows you to see the arc and where it is getting to.
...and then you walk up on what you have shot with a 50, whoa, it kills a car, easy.
Guns are cool, one must be as responsible as one can be, and then some.

I like the little 22's as well, but the "real pistol" ones like the P22 have bad reps for being picky eaters and only liking CCI mini mags. My brother in law has an old Ruger MK I that eats anything and is a hoot to plink with. Of course he also has a tacticool Mini14 and Mac10... among others... You can take the boy out of the Marines...
