shanty protection
« on: Nov 16, 2005, 11:34 AM »
hey guys, i was just wondering about shanty protection. whether you guys use a skimmer or a chipper or if you have your CHL. i usually bring along my S&W 586 .357 mag when i sleep out in the shanty. "better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it."

any comments?

lol. i carry anywhere i can. fishing, hunting, even down to the corner store. one great thing about New Hampshire is you can carry almost anywhere and signs dont affect you unless the manager asks you to leave. gotta love NH!

Wow, I thought this post was going to be about scotch-guard.  Rock on, Big Dawg.  It's nice to hear of people that are allowed to flaunt the 2nd Amendment as much as the 1st.

No carry and conceal here.  That said most times of the year I do have a gun in the truck whether it is my trap gun, a hunting rifle, or a .22 for plinking.

and get this guys. ready for this?  YOU CAN LEGALLY OPEN CARRY A HANDGUN!!!  although i wouldnt in manchester/concord or any other cities but in the boondocks, do it up! one more thing, a semi-auto .40, ya think it would freeze up some how in below 0 temps? Ive thought about carrying that as it is a 13+1 compared to the 6 shot. just a thought.

That's the scary part of life, you never know when some deranged moron may come looking for a fight!! I personally only carry a pistola (9mm or .357mag) when I am way out in the boonies. More power to you if you can carry wherever in NH.

Hey Stumper:

Gotta love the AR!  the .223 round is underrated, but they proved themselves to me during my military service.  It's as much a visual deterrent as a weapon.  Nobody wants that puppy pointed at them for any reason.  Can't see needing it on the ice(unless Al Qaeda decides ice fishermen are the next manifestations of the Anti-Christ), but nice to know it's there if the 'need' arises.

I figured I haul enough stuff on this ice that I do not need to pack my 454. I pack it bow hunting and at 56oz, that is even too much extra weight. If need be I will beat who ever needs it with a piece of Caribou jerky ;D

Stumper, You're going to love that AR-15. I've had one for over 10 years now and love it. With that velocity and a hollow point, you can deal out some heavy damage.

LIVE FREE OR DIE!!!

 I have personally carried my Glock 21 (.45 cal.) with me ice fishing concealed under my outer most jacket. Even talked to a State Trooper  and a DEC guy the same day and they never even knew it was there. I DO NOT go looking for trouble, but in today's society it seems prudent to be prepared for when trouble comes looking for you. :(

 Hey stumper, that's a nice AR! I used to have a 24" stainless upper for mine, but traded for a 16" HBAR. I shoot the gun a lot more often now, but someday would like another varmint rig. BTW, if I may be so bold as to make a suggestion- loost that A2 upper and get an A3. You'd still be able to mount a scope on the rail and the scope would be closer to the centerline of the gun aiding in acheiving a better cheek weld and sight picture. As a bonus, you could also mount a detachable carry handle when you didn't need the scope.

Some day I plan on geting an A3 upper ,but for now its not in he budget.I actually like the looks of this set up better.I know what you mean on the other points though.I was worried about the cheak position,Its not so bad though.

I carry a .45 (I live in Michigan and have my CCP), but not on the ice, only when I'm fishing for brookies in the toolies. Not for protection from man, for protection from critters.

If someone gets in my face, I just offer them a beer. It's cheaper than a lawyer and easier to explain to the wife. Seems a little extreme. Although, maybe I should be carrying on the ice to protect myself against ice fisherman packing assult rifles and fully automatic pistols just because they can.....I'm all for excersizing your constitutional rights, but I dont carry for fun.


"I fish because I love to; because I love the environs where trout are found,because I suspect that men are going along this way for the last time, and I  don't want to waste the trip; maybe one day I will catch a mermaid; and finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but because I suspect that so m

 NOT TRUE!!! Several states allow the ownership of full auto weapons. You simply have to fill out and have approved the FEDERAL form, and pay big money for the guns- usually in the $4000+ range!

I guess I was refering to the general public since he said "no permits no questions asked" .I can carry full auto here If I have the  FFL license that is required.
