Since so many of us like to carry,at least on occaision,I think it should be pointed out that if you use a gun in self defence you will probably be prosecuted if you can't prove your life was in danger and you had no other recourse but to shoot.
I would bet most prosecutors,and juries,in urban counties don't view firearms the same way that a lot of us do.
If you can back off from a situation,even if the other guy is in the wrong,in order to avoid a shooting then you must do that or be able to explain why you couldn't.
If you carry a firearm,as I do,avoid confrontation moreso than you would if you were unarmed.
As far as education into river ettiquette,I think the state could do a much better job with the game regulation pamphlet in educating fishermen into the proper way to do things like sharing the river and how to properly release a fish.
Thanks.
