Just a silly question, but why would you carry a gun if your out metal detecting?
For protection
Is someone going to steal your detector, or your wheatie?
or take your life
Carring a gun in a park? Do you carry a gun when having a pick nik, or swimming on the beach?
yes,yes,yes, grocery shopping, raking leaves, just about every where it is legal, because it is legal to do so
If I had a gun, not sure who I should shoot with it.
good thing you don't have one, you must depend on 911
Conceled weapon? Loaded weapon in your car? Seems like you would be out asking for trouble.
No, protecting your self from trouble, If it is concealed then nobody but you will know you have it
Do you plan on detecting under a crack house?
Not under but all around the crack house
I would think that if your paranoid, best to just have another friend with you.
then there would be two people carrying guns, not paranoid just safe
Wouldnt it be easier to just walk away from a ify situation?
of course if you are able or can, but if you can't? I just don't want to become a victim, but if its OK with you to become a victim one thats fine with me

My answers exactly. I carry because it is my right here in this country. I've never shot a person but had to pull my pistol and rifle more than once. The thing about bad guys is that they don't always follow the perceived and unwritten rules about where they're supposed to hang out. I have been in two situations where I was probably 3lbs of trigger pull away from allowing my Springfield to start barking if the scummer didn't stop moving towards me. I'm thankful they stopped coming towards me but I'm sure they simply moved off to find a less well prepared person. The first time was at a convenience store and the second time was in a laundramat.......both in "good" sides of town and not at night. I carry everywhere, not only for my safety but also for others who deem self protection a silly and "paranoid" endeavor. Three types of people in the world; sheep, sheepdogs and wolves.....you must choose a side or it'll be chosen for you. As the economy continues the downward cycle you'll see more desperation and desperation makes the wolves do dangerous things.

binder, you sure did hit the nail on the head. as you said, the problems in our country are getting
worse and people more desperate. if things get much worse it will bring out more of the madness
and things people will do to survive. got to always be prepared.
take care. ron

 

[kenley]

If I am outside the house..I carry. Kel-Tec P3AT in warm weather....45ACP in cold weather.

 

[maui]

kenley, good for you and everyone else that is able to protect yourself and family. i don't like to
think negative but with every passing day it seems like things just keep getting worse not just in
our country but around the world.
take care. ron

 

[stefen]

This can be carried in your pocket or purse

X3.....A gun in hand is worth more than ten cops on the phone!

Hi, I'm new to the board and this subject on any board is always interesting.
Yes I carry a small Kel Tec 9 with hp,s.
Not because of bad people but because we have way too many mountain lions in our area. My wife watched one walk down main street and then take off after two house cats.
I do not want to end up cat poop.

AHHHH! Come on and get some!!!!! This is what I carry!

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

If 6'3" doesn't deter them, and a Lesche in the windpipe doesn't deter them, it's good to have scalable options.

I do not carry concealed at tot lots or city parks, but in those areas a Benchmade Osborne Rift is where it is easy to get to. Outside the city -Chopped .45 ACP.

 

[Euqinu]

Carry whatever your comfortable with. A gun, knife, taser, pepper spray, baton, flashlight, etc... I'm a Deputy in Fl, I'm issued a Glock 22 (40 Cal.). I love it and carry it everywhere. It is a bit heavy for most. But Glock makes smaller versions of it's 40 cal. The Glock 27 is the sub compact version. It's smaller, lighter, and easier to conceal, plus the Glock 22's bigger mags fit into it without a problem. I also like the S&W version of the 40 cal. My nieghbor was nice enough to let me shoot his, very comfortable gun. I would also advise anyone and everyone to take classes on their weapon of choice to gain familiarity with it. Lessens the chance it could be taken from you and used against you. (anyone that carries pepper spray or a taser should subject themselves to it. i.e. get sprayed or tased to see how you react and how bad it actually hurts.) <--------- and they really do hurt!

Good luck

 

[underarock]

I wouldn't mess with people that really get into digging holes.

 

[rey914v8]

[dirty digger dude]

I always have my digger in m hand and my buck folding knife clipped in my pocket which i keep wicked sharp. I might get battered but whoever tangles with me is going to the hospital.

 

[just us]

I carry a small frame 22 revolver that was passed down from my grandpa when he passed. Just for snakes and such.

Never know when you might have to replace a 6' plug of sod while leaving no trace behind. These little 6" plugs are just for practice.

When I carry; Springfield XD .40 practically indestructible

 

[kelpike]

I realize this is an old topic. Just felt like adding my two cents. I do not have any "real" guns and I have not carried this with me yet detecting, however, after reading this thread I would consider it at times. This is a paintball pistol and may seem silly to real gun owners but if you have ever been hit with one, you know how much it stings. I feel confident that this would be a pretty good deterent. Most people think its a real gun. I believe you could stop someone with say a bat, a knife, or just about any other weapon if the need came up.

 

[Scottso]

i dont know about you but im packing some serious heat 50 cal desert eagle special ops fast realease knife . you dont want to ---- with me lol

The obvious and most resonant reason is: IT EQUALIZES THE PLAYING FIELD!

Why Carry a Gun?

There comes a time in your life when we have to stop bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and It's
usually when you become too old to take an ass whoopin.

I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.

Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

I carry a gun because God gave me the Right to do so; it is inalienable.(Added by the Head of the Tenn. Committee for the Bill of Rights.)

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun - control message to all of your friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!

IT'S A NO BRAINER!
DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!

Oh yea XD .45, Primary 13 + 1 , Sig .380 secondary. Those that choose not to carry or not permitted by your state, A good can of 30 foot wasp & hornet spray should give you a better than average chance of escape.
