Do you carry in backcountry?

there was another thread that got a little derailed by arguments between gun-owners and non-gun-owners, but i'd like to continue the discussion of a single topic (without rantings on gun control, please):.

do you carry a firearm while in backcountry?

either 4-wheeling, backpacking, or doing ranch-related work, etc?

I go in the back country alot in Wa state. I always carry a small arsnel with me to practice shooting. How ever is noted that meth heads and pot growers are in the fringe areas. The best way to protect your self from any proplems is to go in a group and bring a dog with you. A dog will always alert you to problems before you can. Bear spray is better defence than a handgun. We have black bears here and when they see you they run.

I had 3 kids that wanted my camp 2 years ago and were looking for trouble. I had my AR 15 next to me and they left.

We have to wait untill feb of next year to carry loaded firearm in national parks. (Obama signed the law a few weeks ago with the credit card law)

when i was a minny man i was used to give p.ts home and away, this stopped when i asked to be given no more p.ts about 5 years before i left.

our p.o gave out the outlines and the venue in the old days, later another elder oversaw (is that a word?

) the business.. i refused to give one outline because it was such a load of rubbish, and i said so, our p.o then allowed me to go through the outlines and pick one i could do, not easy,took a lot of looking !.

Such a contrast with the small church groups in ca. USA. There are many latino churches that comfort the "illegals" just the way Jesus would.

Were you afraid to go to a bar?

by rebel8 in

someone who shall remain nameless (*cough*snowbird*cough) mentioned she has never been to a bar.. this shocks me.. i was remembering how terrified i was of going to a bar when i was exiting the mother ship.

i was looking for the lightning bolts to get me.

and it was a big nothing really.

When I was 18 after the Friday meeting at the kingdom hall we when to a bar with live country music. I told my parents I was going out to eat with Bob. That was in 1967. Back then the drinking age was 18. That was my first exposure to bar. It was really cool and I felt grown up. Bob was 10 years older than me.

Now am 58 years old and I do not care. Actually it is agaist state law for me to go into a bar, so i can't. I will have hell to pay.

Verified Example of Over 80 JWs Defecting

by compound complex in

both jim and marilyn [penton] were becoming increasingly unhappy with the leadership of jehovah's witnesses during the late 1970s, however.

neither believed the watch tower society's assertion that the present world would probably end in 1975, and both were taken aback by the fact that for years the society refused to admit any fault in the matter.

both also became distressed over the watch tower's methods of cajoling ordinary witnesses into going preaching from door to door, the society's lack of love and concern for ordinary persons, and the mistreatment of their older son, david, for attending university.
