Is this too controversial? OR...."OFF TOPIC"?

I think it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Just an FYI. I called the Corp of Engineers here in KY since most of the lakes are theirs and was told it was illegal to "carry" regardless of the Concealed Carry Permit unless (1) It was during a legal hunting season and (2) you were within a designated hunting area. You might want to consider doing some research yourself and you do not have to give your name when calling. Also keep these things in mind, it is called a "Concealed Carry Permit" for a reason, they are unlikely to search you unless you give them a reason, and for them to fine and punish you, you need to be alive. Just my thoughts.

I understand the rules of the Corps, but I would rather have to argue with them on why I shot someone trying to do harm to me or my property than not have one and only hope they were interested in doing harm to my property only.

I carry everywhere I go, on land or water. Have a S&W Air Weight that fits perfectly in my pocket or in the pocket of my PFD.
I fish out of a kayak a good bit and launch in some out of the way places in the marsh and along bayous and rivers. Only once
have I had to reveal it to a couple of guys that were fooling with my truck when I came back to where I had launched from. I am
convinced that it was enough of a deterrent to convince them to move on. I had it in the front pocket of my PFD, when I got of the kayak
and walked up to them, I took my PFD off and unsnapped the pocket and pulled out my "piece". One of them said, "interesting". They looked
at each other, nodded, got in their truck and drove off. I am like the other guy....never leave home with out it (or them)...always have the
Air Weight in my pocket and a GLOCK in my truck that is easily accessible. Better to be safe than sorry.

Exactly. I don't have a pistol, but over the years I've had a couple of instances where I should have had one onboard.

Sorry if it's too small but amazing that something said over 200 yrs ago could carry so much weight today...

if you made it back alive with out being stabbed or shot you never needed it......its not a theft deterent device, or a argument stopper.......its for a life and death situation......BUT every legal citizen should have one to carry

We have places in Texas for people just like you. Come on down. It will be
Illinois loss.

I'm not giving up. I think we need to turn Chicago into its own state and see how long it takes before total caos takes over. Im tired of 3 counties trying to dictate how the rest of this state operates. The entire rest of the state is Republican, however due to the massive liberal media and massive population the the northwest corner (Chicago) they end up winning the election. And now you know why Illinois is so currupt.
