For those who carry on the river

Isn't that what cameras are for? After shooting a pic they still exist and are alive too...

Sometimes I just like to sip a scotch in my trophy room and look at the beauty I've collected. There's a street family unit stripping a Subaru over there. Here is a tweaker couple engaged in domestic squabble. And this setting here, one of my favourites is two males spray painting some stolen bikes. That one there is a drug addled buck coming at you with a knife. What a hunt that was. They all tell a story and bring me back to the field. It's hard to pick a favourite. Besides my hunting activities help preserve the species from overpopulation and disease while my financial contributions to the local community are appreciated and needed. It's all very sporting, ethical, and for the good of the species.

I have retired after 28 years in a career in which I carried a hand gun (first a wheel gun, then an auto) every day. My attitude about firearms is that it is a tool. In the same way a plumber carries a wrench, I carried a hand gun. I have not carried a gun since I retired and certainly would never consider carrying one while I was on the water. So, for what its worth, here is my take on being armed while fishing:

1. Stop being a pussy. If you are afraid and think you "must have, or need to have" a firearm on the water, find somewhere else to fish. The exception to this would be someplace like AK where bears might be an issue, but I suspect that the bear would spit the gun out as he took a chunk out of you anyway
2. Rule number one covers all situations, No further instructions are necessary

Today I learned I’m a pussy, lol! I take my daughter to a lot of spots around my neck of the woods that have homeless (see tweaker) encampments popping up left and right. The local LEOs can’t do shit about it, except pack their shit up and take it to a dumpster when they aren’t there.

These are quite literally hallowed grounds for my family, and if it makes me feel safer to pack when my kids around (or when she’s not for that matter) then I guess that makes me weak I guess? At 6’2” and 225 lbs of workout nearly every fucking day, as well as a number of other reasons I’m not fun to fuck with, I’d just rather not get into it with someone with nothing to loose.

I added Combat Yoga to my self defense/workout quiver of activities. Big confidence builder while traversing Seattle's mean streets.
 
I open carry job applications...
Ne'erdowells give me wide berth, and tend to go the other way.

Talk to me when you take one with archery tackle, now there is a rush. You’ll never forget your first!

Dude, I've used archery, rifle, pistol, spear, and crossbow. I don't do this cause it's easy. I do it because it's hard.

Also, in the interest of making this discussion more culturally and anatomically accurate….we really should be proud of being called a pussy, because vaginas are tough, unlike balls, which are sensitive and weak.

I thank the great and powerful @kmudgn for the compliment!
