Now, asking the guy to bring a rifle? If that truly happened. Hindsight definitely shows that wasn't the smartest thing to do.
That is an asinine statement. A rifle is a tool. This is IDAHO. The only thing wrong with asking a cattleman to bring a rifle (during hunting season), is that it is redundant.
If having a rifle with you in rural Idaho is an inherent problem, the world has truly gone to hell.
