So boys and girls , let's get back to the O.P. Dispense with the "mine is bigger than yours"; or "let me show you mine" Gump.

Damn, it's those Pinus Strobus that you need protection from. Be careful out there, be very careful.:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
 
Yes we carry while firewooding. It is illegal here to shoot someone that is stealing your property. But we are gonna do our best to scare the heck outta them if they are grabbing saws outta the truck. I looked the other day, and we had 3 saws in the back and had close to 3k$ worth of goods in the back.

Dad has a lot of issues with his back, and is most likely unable to fight hand to hand, so he carrys to protect hisself.

This has been a terrible thread. Anyone who doesnt like the idea of carrying mise well just not post, because you will never conform anyone that does. Im sure most respect your decision not to carry. A gun doesnt make me feel any more macho than carrying a knife. A gun is the last ditch effort for me.

We carry in the woods mostly for the coyotes, coons. etc. Anything that gets too close. Dad had to dispatch a coon from the tractor one day cause the coon jumped on the fourwheeler with the other guys.

But I have the right, and I am going to use it.

BTW, I am on page 13, working my way up :)

Why Grandpa carries a gun

My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take a butt whoopin.'

I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take a butt whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'. During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!


The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.

The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
 
It's always just a matter of time before a thread degenerates into...... well, this.

You boys know how it works here on AS, right?
If there ain't pictures......

So lay 'em out next to the rulers boys, and get out them there cameras.
If'n ya' ain't got a ruler handy your saw bar & chain will be OK so long as we can count the links; just flop it out on the end.
 
First Aid Kit
Hard Hat
Tool Box
Come Along
Shovel
Chain
Pocket Knife
Gloves
Change of Dry Clothes
Snatch Strap
Assorted Fluids for the truck (oil, brake, coolant, etc.)
Eyedrops
Goody's Headache Powders
Water
Firearm

The list goes on quite a ways further.




I could cut wood without any of these or go somewhere to do any other job, but sometimes I need one of these items.

Asking "why do you carry a firearm, what are you afraid of" is no different than asking me why I carry a first aid kit. Remember the Boy Scout motto "Be Prepared";)
