    Rick gets it. That's why you can make up a number.

    i didn't know that most people who carry guns have herpes. Learn something new everyday.

    No, I'm still struggling with the idea of carrying pepper spray.

    Only about one out of every five people that carry guns have herpes.

    They are probably looking for the person who gave them herpes.

    I carry a lot of things on the trail. Some of them are concealed. Sometimes it's none of your business what I'm carrying. Including whether or not there is a firearm among the things I'm carrying. (I guess that implies that there is no firearm among the things that I'm carrying openly.) And I'd be foolish to say more.

    Assuming you carry, and are legal, why is it "foolish" to admit you are carrying?

    coupla reasons. 1- someone with a grudge could report you in a non carry state.2- someone could manage to take your gun when it was left unattended, possibly use it against you.

    The simplist reason is because of reactions of folks such as RedDog. His is rather mild but there are far too many people who suffer hoplophobia and just lose it when even the discussion of firearms comes up.

    My preference is to be discreet. I dont know who can keep their mouth shut and never mention or let it slip by accident. I dont want folks to treat me any different or to target me. Im not carrying to be their sheep dog.

    I'm not carrying to be anyone's sheepdog. Indeed.

    Of course, that proposition could be satisfied by "I'm not carrying." As I said before, I'm not telling. For most of the reasons that anyone would ask, neither answer can help me and the wrong answer can hurt me.

    Your signature is right. Fire + steel = power. Be it a forge, an engine, a furnace or a gun.
    I always know where I am. I'm right here.

    It's only people boasting about having a gun that concerns me, they probably shouldn't have one....keep it to youself.

    No one has asked how many bullets is the proper number on the AT.

    Guys, I'm just messing around. Don't take it personally anyone. How long did you think it was going to stay on topic even in this forum? Where did you think this thread was going anyhow? Guns and gun control are currently some of the hottest of the hot button topics. Read the posts and examine the content. Already, it's largely fluff.
