curiosity - gun owners-

[onetoncv]

Does anyone carry a gun on there hip wheeling? I just got a 45 repro long colt 1875 - And want to get a holster and carry it out on the trail - Does anyone ever see this going on? I hear i'm all good just curious- You know with a name like Jesse jaynes you know-

[ecrist]

I never wheel WITHOUT a pistol....of course, I live in Arizona and you can legally carry in plain site without a permit.

don't know about Kalifornia law.

You're a pussy for having to carry a gun to feel safe. Any real man knows that you don't need a gun to protect yourself. Grow up!


[colr=black]You know somebody was going to say it eventually, so I decided to get it out of the way! :IgotYouGoodFukker: [/color]

I think that was a pretty narrow minded response. EDIT: BAH, FAWKING BLACK TEXT. LOL

If you are wheeling by yourself who knows who or what you are going to come across.

I don't think you would ever need one on the trail, but when you are alone it wouldn't hurt to have something to fall back on.

The only thing I would consider is if it is going to make other people you are wheeling with uncomfortable.

That almost seems like a remark someone would make before leaving. I know you're not leaving already. You should get lots of feedback here. Oh yeah, beware the Black Text!

[Overbear]

I usually wear on my hip, but often will take it off and stash it in the center console while wheeling. A good shoulder-rig is the best way to carry if you are going to be in a vehicle-seat for long periods of time.

Even if I owned a handgun, I wouldn't carry one. Mainly, I just don't like carrying anything I don't have to. I might stash one in the rig along with the cell phone & all the other schit I don't like in my pockets

My BIL carries one in a waist pack made for a pistol when we're on the trail. Pretty much looks like a fanny pack unless you're really paying attention and notice that it's in the general shape of a gun.

[Damage, Inc.]

Packing and displaying a pistol can be good and bad. It shows the world you're ready for action...problem is, the animals you want to know this really don't give a shit you've got a SW44 at your side. I pretty much always carry and seldom, if ever, is it seen by the public.

[SilverZuk]

Around here that is pretty common. The majority of folks you see don’t carry in plain site, but I would say 1 out of 10 you will see with a pistol in the open. I would estimate over half are carrying. I seriously doubt I would ever have use it on the trail, or anywhere else, but it’s like insurance – you better have it if you ever need it.

I have shot game animals in season that I spotted while driving, and dumped 5 rounds out of 9mm at a coyote in the woods. During hunting seasons I usually carry a 22 LR revolver for small game.

[SilverZuk]

My opinions on carrying because of snakes and such:
Shooting at a snake is likely more dangerous to the public than the snake itself. If you must kill it, use a stick, shovel, rock, etc. Don’t be such a pussy to “have to carry” because of snakes.

Bears and Mountain Lions – You will likely never see the Mountain Lion that attacks you in time to pull, point, and shoot a pistol.
A bear will likely give you plenty of time.
Neither of these species is a risk in our area, although where I lived and still wheel is bear country. I have had them climb in the back of a bronco while to co-workers were sitting in it.
Generally, most any animal will not attack or fight if you give it space.

If you are carrying a firearm for defense, you need to keep your mind, and shooting skills sharp. You also need to realize the consequences if you ever do shoot someone. Even if it is legal, you just killed/maimed someone’s daddy/son/brother etc.

I don't own a handgun yet, but my friends seem to like their "fanny packs" when on the trail.

Some of the wives and children will often get out and hike while the menfolk are busy comparing sizes and getting stuck.

The ladies will usually pack a handgun in the even of a snake, typically, though I guess they could fire a few warning shots to let us know there's a bear on the rampage so we can at least be prepared when they come for us.

The long guns are usually tucked above the sunvisors/cage.. and there's usually at least one full auto along, mostly for fun, but it'll make a decent chainsaw if the need arises.

I guess you wheel with the Kehoe's?

When is Chevy and Shane getting out?

[TexasBlake]

I may start carrying one at one of the places we wheel. There's a bunch of homless people setting up camp there and homeless people can be crazy. Last weekend we had one get all pissed off and started yelling and cussing because we woke him up when we drove by. Most homless people are crazy, and they would loose nothing if they killed someone. The problem is on the trail you couldnt' get away from him fast enough, so you'd have to beat the shit out of him or kill him to make him stop. Just a month or two ago one homless killed another homless in the same spot.

I just got my Sig P229 and love it. I will be carrying it with 75% of the time, why just cause I like it. No reason. Yeah it could be used on snakes but sticks work just as well and it will be fine for bears but When I'm wheeling I can just jump in my rig and be just as safe.

Basicly I lvoe shooting it and wheeling so why not bring it. I think the best setup for wearing it would be a thigh mounted tactical holster, which is what I going to get.

[HighToy]

You shoot an adult bear with anything less than a bazooka you're just going to piss it off.

[Weasel]

True but 50 rounds of FMJ have to do something, is all else make me feel a bit better as I'm mauled.
