I thought about it after a drunk pulled a knife on me on my way down to the river. Another guy one day came down to the river carrying an axe. My friend asked him what the axe was for and he said "cutting wood". We had to walk twenty minutes to get into this hole, it was weird that he was that far back wanting to cut wood. He sunk the axe into a log, left the axe there, turned around and left. After these experiences it is not four legged creatures I worry about, but two legged ones.

The only reason I do not carry a gun is because I fall in the river to darn much and I hate to see my baby get all wet. Plus I do not have a pistol that I really consider a packer, they are all full size. If I had a snub nose, stainless steel revolver, I would.
