fishing & packing heat. hand in hand?

[mx'r]

Do any of you guys pack heat while fishing? I do, I'm always affraid of someone running off with my truck.

Here's a pic of a monster rainbow I caught at deckers yesterday. 22.5", 5.5lbs. Full of eggs.. My biggest rainbow to date.

Cool damn nice fish,,, and yes I usually carry no matter what, helps to have your CCW permit.

[mx'r]

Is it any different than hunting? I dont have a ccw, but cant imagine why I'd need one in the National Forest, etc. I've got a hunters ed card. Is walking a private means of conveyance?

[Mtn.man]

Open shouldn't be a problem.

[mx'r]

If you notice in the pic there isn't anything visible.[Dunno] . Could that be a problem?

[ColoDepuD]

Just don't chase your pole into the lake after you lose it to a fish! Or, if you do, post the video on youtube to prove that Glock's shoot underwater.

[mx'r]

yeah, thought about that too. I'm big and clumbsy. So I go in "the drink" quite often. I've a Kel-Tec P11 that stays in a plastic bag. Any other idea's out there for this problem?

[glock21]

ill hold on to the kel-tec that way you dont have to worry bout it getting stole[ROFL1]

[KevDen2005]

Not a fisherman (yet) but I pretty much carry all the time and wherever. My girlfriend hates it when I come into the room for sex wearing only a belt and holster.

[Mtn.man]

So I am guessing it Ain't BIG enough.

[glock21]

dont forget the combat boots and the thong (on backwards) hahaha

[KevDen2005]

Glock21, I would never forget the boots, however not sure how the thong on backwards works....something you learned in the military, no doubt?

Moutain man, come on, I don't care how big it is as long as I get what I need!!!

Ha ha

[glock21]

hahaha hell yes, its a race and if i finish first i win and go to sleep hahahaha, guess thats why im getting divorced [BooHoo]

[mx'r]

that's funny. I need a pistola just to get my old lady into the bedroom..

[KevDen2005]

Ahh, sorry man....I guess you shouldn't have been so eager to win all the time

[SSChameleon]

I like fishing for brookies, the best places I've found also happen to be prime bear or moose habitat. I open carry on surplus gun belt. I found a gun belt with a butt pack is perfect for fishing. Mag pouches hold extra tackle, canteen fits on and if I put a couple ice-packs in the butt pack I can put the fish on ice right when I catch them.

I think that might actually be a crime....but I am okay with it[Muaha]

[glock21]

any one ever fish miracle mile in wy. just outside of sinclair

Really not a problem. Most pistols can shoot just fine underwater - even the 1911. Little bit more of a PITA than with a Glock, particularly with cleanup, but totally do-able.

Please tell me you have a cool story on why you know this?!

ALWAYS! Actually, whenever I go into the mtn.s, I open carry a Blackhawk .357 Magnum loaded with HydraShock Hollowpoints - just in case of "predators".

One time while fishing it came in handy when I had it and it kept a potentially bad situation from developing. Making a long story short - which is odd for me... It was my (then) 10yo son and me vs 6 skinhead looking fellas - one was just released from Joliet State Penetentiary in upstate IL the day before (overheard their conversations).

Naw. Good fishin' up in 'dem parts? What brands of fish are we talking about up there?

[Not_A_Llama]

Not too cool. Friend has a place on acreage, with a swimming pool. Put together some rigs to test-fire to make sure, then went for it. 1911s, Glock 17s and 19s, a CZ75, some other stuff. No .40s - word has it those get pressure signs.

[theGinsue]

Hmm. Perhaps cut back on "the drink".[ROFL1]

Take that any way you wanna!

[glock21]

Sounds like a great setup.

Care to PM me with the location of this "prime bear or moose habitat"?

Now that sounds like the fishing I enjoy! Any idea how much an out-of-state fishing license is up there?

We're right in the middle of the spawn. the rainbows are stacked in like cord wood, and lot's of 3-4lb'rs to get the blood pumping.

wow.. de ja vu ..although in my case I didnt carry and it was the Aryan Brotherhood.

[sniper7]

I open carry in national forest all the time. I conceal carry pretty much everywhere else that I can. I figure I have a much higher chance of encountering an animal...be it wild or someones crazy dog than i do a human. either way i want to be as best prepared as I can

[mx'r]

Just where in the hell are you guys fishing? Worse thing I've had happen was a little road rage on the way to the river.

These guys could have EASILY been with the AB. Really bad crowd!

My situation occured about 1/4 mile South of where the Hayman Fire started around Platte Springs off of Tarryall Rd/CO Rd 77 - just 1 week before the fire began.
