Tim,
The outcome was only a shock to You. For too many of us it is like Halloween 13 – the outcome was preordained, the only unknown was the players.Don't lose any sleep over it.
Smile the next time you see a similar opening post.
And wait for things to unfold.Jul 16, 2011 at 8:19 pm #1760105Its a legit question and you should not feel bad about asking it. If you think its opinionated here, you should read similar posts on whiteblaze.
There are legit reasons to carry if you are willing to pack the weight. Feeling more secure about handling varius remote situations, is as good as any.
I carry a small .25 cal auto sat.night special in a pocket during bow hunting season on private land, just because it makes me feel more secure. Not for snakes, or bears, or cougars. More likely for a pack of wild dogs or a two-legged varmint.

For two-legged varmint, I would suggest bear spray. That would teach him a lesson.

Hey, Tim, it's better than getting whacked with a big wooden paddle by all the BPL members for your initiation. The hazing is now officially over. Welcome to BPL!
