Wow, times have sure changed since my uncle took me hunting up there. "Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting or target shooting. There may be others who carry a firearm, but hunters and target shooters also carry them. When I go to a pistol range, I carry the weapon. If I go hunting, I carry a firearm. Of course, I may not fit someone's definition of 'normal' ! |

. .. JoeSpareBedroom wrote: "HK" wrote in message . .. That's called "open carry." Very few states allow that, typically states out west, though I believe Virginia allows it. Virginia allows concealed, with a permit. If I'm carrying a pistol into a target range, or a gun shop, there's nothing illegal about it. I'm fairly certain Virginia also allows open carry, but I could be wrong. I was wrong once before, in 1983. :?} I'd like to meet someone who thinks open carry is a good idea, just to see how much they drool in any 30 second period of time. I've read posters on gun boards talking about their "open carry" around the state. I only "open carry" out in the country, hiking along forest trails on the mountain ranges or accesses to them, or on the property. There are feral dogs and bears around for sure, and there have been mountain lion sightings. Yeah, but there are morons who think open carry is OK in a department store or other relatively crowded places. There is ALWAYS someone stronger and faster, who can take that gun away from you. Always. A guy at my gun club thinks that even if he's got his hands full with a 10 foot 2x8, he can stop someone from snatching his gun. He bemoans the fact that open carry's not allowed in NY. |

Was yours still in its place when the hat sank? |

Oh, I agree with that. They're the big gun, small dick guys, for the most part. |

We can agree that you and I have different definitions of 'carrying' a firearm. Do only 'abnormal' people carry a firearm by your definition? Please note, I'm not trying to start a ****ing contest here. You interjected a comment that doesn't, to me, make a whole lot of sense given Don's remark. |

I think I know what you are talking about, and "carrying" might mean "packing heat" to some criminal elements, but I really don't think that is the way Don was using the term. Speaking of fortuitous...how nice that you should mention Tilley hats as I was in the market for a hat. And, at the same time, the closest store carrying Tilley's was having a 20% off sale. Now we are both proud owners of a Tilley. They are a very comfortable hat! |

BTW, what model 4Runner do you have. I'm getting pretty serious about getting one in the next week or so. I'm thinking of the basic SR5 as the leather in the limited doesn't impress me, and neither does the fancy suspension of the Sport. I do want the V8 and the towing package! |

I think I know what you are talking about, and "carrying" might mean "packing heat" to some criminal elements, but I really don't think that is the way Don was using the term. The most common definition means a law abiding citizen carrying a legally owned handgun, probably concealed, with a permit where required. Let me make sure I understand this. In the west, it is common to see people with a guy in a holster, in plan sight. Wouldn't they be considered to be carrying? That's called "open carry." Very few states allow that, typically states out west, though I believe Virginia allows it. Virginia allows concealed, with a permit. If I'm carrying a pistol into a target range, or a gun shop, there's nothing illegal about it. |
