Do you carry a weapon on board?

[TahoeTim]

I got a new "toy" today and I was wondering if you carry a gun on board for survival situations.

Any other gun nuts here?

In Canada we can't carry hand guns where ever we want. It is pretty tight but I have a factory sawed off double barrel. One with buck shot and one with a slug. How useful it is, hopefully I will never know. But I was also thinking about getting one of those folding .22

This is probably illegal in the US

I do Tim... especially if going into the wilderness (like downtown Denver ), for airplane camping, or whatever.

What are we talking here? .50 BMG Barrett or something slightly smaller?

Well for me, I purchace a 4 pcs fishing rode and a nice 300 WSM BLR Lightweigth, Take Down, Browning level action rifile juste to fit in the fox!!! so I can go hunting and fishing anywhere!!!

My kind of people!

I am keen on a .22 Winchester Model 63.

I have one that I tracked down but is very old, and would love to replace my childhood companion with a newer one.

Anyone know of how to get hold of them.

Here in South Africa, you can carry it, but if you get robbed of it and it wasn't in a safe, then they take away ALL your weapons, and as a farmer that leaves me and my wife vulnerable to farm attacks, so I would rather leave them at home and not land where I have to watch out for the big 5.

Of course we don't have bears to contend with like you poor fellows!

Chiefwarthog,

I do like the option you have....to be able to go fishing & hunting at the drop of a hat

If we could just work a nice grouse gun into the picture - we'd have it all.

How many times have I landed to find a nice hunting ground or body of water containing fish immediately next to the 'port!

A little joke on myself.......I used to fly out of a metro reliever airport populated with jets, turbos and a way too frequent gaggle of canada geese....Cooincidentally, one day I was taking my my old Belgian double 16 pheasant gun in the plane to have some tune up work done on it at another site......on that somewhat busy ramp & training crowd I got the reaction.."Now, Dave.....no reason to take it out on the Geese!"

Oh well.

It's legal if the overall length is no shorter than 26" and the barrel at least 18", by federal law, here in the USA. Local laws vary... wouldn't want to be carrying that thing around in California, New York City, New Jersey or a few other places I could think of.

Before all of my firearm collection was lost in a tragic boating accident, this was often found on or near my person…



Smith & Wesson model 629


Also tragically lost was my normal carry gun of choice. (I am licensed for concealed carry)



Ruger LCP in a Wallet Holster


Someday maybe I'll buy another gun.
