Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do You Carry In and Around the Home, even…

If you're at home to it's easy to keep more than that ready to go. Away from home it's not much harder. One in the hand, cooler full ready to go.

Sat down to supper with a group from N.J. a red haired guy, got up and pointed at me and said you've got a gun! all the ranch guy's at the table started laughing, I told the guy there about 5 or 6 guy' at this table with a gun, you just happened to see mine, scared the SCHITT out of him. Rio7

My sister in law did that to me once. I told her that in the many years she's known me, she's never seen me when I wasn't carrying one.

LOL.

I love the one's who come up to me and say... "Excuse me, but that pistol you are carrying is cocked!"

Ummm.... Yeah. That's how you carry a 1911.

I have guns in a couple of places around the house but I’ve made a point of living where it isn’t necessary to carry one in house.

Quail Hunt
The same red headed guy , after shooting at about 20 Quail, finally hit one, he walked up on it and it was still alive, he put his foot on it and hollered for help, i walked up and what's the problem? and he pointed at his foot and said it's still alive! I said pick it up pull it's head off and put it in your vest, he said i can't do that! I said look you damn pussy, you shot it you wounded it now you kill it. think I scared the Schitt out of him, he pulled it's head off then puked all over his snake boots. some people shouldn't eat breakfast if they are going hunting.

Probably one of those Yankees that think the 2nd Amendment is just for hunting guns and rifles.

Had a hunting guide in Colorado once ask me why I was carrying a pistol, on a bow hunt. I asked him why he wasn’t.

Yep. I’ve had some dipschitts do that.

Had a City Officer of my small rural town have a baby duck when he asked for my weapon on a traffic stop when I moved back from Texas in '95... He tried to tell me I could not carry my 1911 loaded, locked and cocked. Once he was sure I did not have drugs in the car, he gave me the weapon back but kept my ammo. I asked for it back politely and he said no, he did not have to give it back. I called his Chief, (a guy I went to high school with) and Winifred told me to give the kid my phone, a few minutes later he begrudgingly gave my phone and my ammo back. It is good to know the correct people sometimes.

At home I have 2 100 pound German Shepherds that don't like strangers. They are scary enough that nobody is going to challenge them.

Do you lock up your car keys?

I wish they had a breathalyzer app before you were allowed to order anything online.

20+ years where I’m at in a “higher crime” area no problems, even once or twice accidentally leaving front doors open all day and vehicle doors routinely unlocked.

Then predawn one morning a potential miscreant almost walked in my open front door, stalled there by my 25lb adopted stray mutt doing a really good imitation of a vicious dog. Gave me time to access the j-frame.

So now I have it in my pocket all the time at home, don’t drink much but then too.

Still haven’t had any property thefts (knock on wood) other than I presume the UPS guy lifting an old beat up pair of binocs off of the front porch. But if it was him he weren’t a local.

Seriously, if you're not locking up your car keys, why would you lock up your gun? Reading this whole thing shows how screwed up Minnesota is.

I carry. Everywhere except illegal to carry locations. There is a piece in every room of our home. Always. YMMV.

What does MN have to do with this thread, besides allowing both the RIGHT to carry in a bar AND consume to an acceptable level while in that bar.

Voted red never in my lifetime. Some would call that a trend.

So you have voted Blue your entire life.

Wow, you are a POS Democrat

Now back to the Original topic.

Yep and Hell, we don't even lock the doors most of the time and I still don't feel the need to carry around the house.
