Bruce, he's such a scaredy cat that he won't even go for a walk in
the Virginia woods without a pistol strapped to his side.

Well, I'll be honest and forthright...most of the time when I'm
walking in the Virginia woods, I'm carrying also.

A 7-iron is a handy thing to have when attacked by squirrels.

If you two were the subjects of a vulcan mind meld, collectively you
might have an IQ in the normal range.

The Shenandoah National Park, where we hike the trails, has a
substantial population of black bears who are not at all adverse to
attacking people. There are also packs of feral dogs. The latter, I
think, are more dangerous. There have been reports of cougars, but I
don't know anyone who has actually seen one.

I don't know a property owner out there who hikes the mountain trails
unarmed. Many carry big caliber handguns.

Perhaps you two might. It would be delightful to read that the feral
dogs got to you both. Better that than a bear. I wouldn't want a bear
to eat your pustule-covered flesh and get sick.

That's a different story! Where we hiked, the "rule" was a .357 shot
shell at the ready and real cartridges behind it. We never had any
problems but the idea was to have a shot shell as your first shot for
snakes.

What's the latest on concealed carry in National Parks? It was and on
and off deal. Last I read it was off.

Gee, I've hiked hundreds of miles of the AT without carrying a weapon.
Most people that camp in more remote places where there are grizzlies
and such aren't such scared fat cowards either.

We spent a couple of days and nights last summer, exploring the North
Fork area and didn't see a single Harry type waving guns around.
You can't wear a gun on your belt unless you are a LEO. They may have
had their weapons concealed.

I've carried a side arm in areas know to have venomous snakes or wild
boars. I'm not sure what lurks in the woods of Virgina.

No, Brucie. Just smart.
You have to be smart to post a You Tube video from an Indiana Jones
movie and pretend to be the hero?

D'oh. No, Brucie, I wasn't pretending to be the hero by referencing that
clip.

I never understood this. Most people who get bit by a snake didn't see
it until they were bit or they were screwing with it.
That is pretty much true of alligators too.
If you actually had the kind of eye contact with a snake necessary to
shoot it, the snake will probably be running away before you can get
the shot off.



The local hospital treats about 9 rattlesnake bites a year. Last year was
the first one in a long time that did not include alcohol, Mines Rd. and
guys trying to be Clint Eastwood in two mules for Sister Sara.

Your "I won't be the guy with the sword. " statement was what I was
referring to. You found some need to add that in order to define
yourself and dismiss any other assumptions about your post.
