never have, I try and cut down on stuff I'm carrying and the resultant weight of stuff.
know lots of folks that do, and it gives me no heartburn if they do so.
I've always just felt better armed with a rifle than a pistol.
back at camp, once in a blue moon maybe a pistol is there, if a pard brings one.
but most times it's just my .45/70
tis what I use for packing out meat and it serves as a backup rifle in case Murphy does some gunsmithing while we're in the field.
