I think its a good idea to carry a gun when fishing, if you know what the hell your doing. I dont think anybody should carry a gun in crowded conditions were tempers flare easily and besides there are people around to help if you get jumped by four guys and lasy. In the back country you have cougar/bears and other wild critters that could make things interesting, for those situations carry.

Im used to being corked every time out on the SKy by Jet boats. Im a scrawny 19 yr old, and i have no problem telling someone to find different water, and if they have a problem and get any closer than 10 feet i'll run like hell. =)

Its all just common sense.
