Nothing like packing a couple of heavy hunting rifles around by the scopes to get you in shape for a good fight. In fact people will probably stop you and ASK to fight....
Imagine that you are a guide, and some doofus shows up in camp, with his $3xxx rifle and $2xxx scope, carrying both using the scope as a handle.
Ka-Ching!!!!!!! Go find this guy a spike buck, and head for the bank.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
