Hi,

Sorry to hear about your experience, and I like most of the ideas that RT brought up, except for bringing the handgun into plain view. I always carry a handgun, fishing, hunting, shopping and to and from work, (I work in a bank, can't carry there.) but not at work. The handgun should only come in to play when there is a threat to your life, or someone elses. Actual threat, not just words.

Bob, those of us who carry concealed do so for a number of reasons, and some may be insecure, you're right, but most folks realize that the police are not everywhere, and you need to take responsibility for your own safety, and the safety of others. I have only drawn my pistol twice in 12 years. No shots were fired, and the other guy in both situations walked away, in handcuffs. I will always carry.

Now then, post the boat numbers of these a-holes so we can put some heat on them. Be kind and courteous and be a good example to the kids.

Andy
