It aint the guns fault! Hopefully the guy who brandished the weapon will have his constitutional right to own a gun takin away for ever. He or she has no right brandishing a gun especially on a river in the middle of the wilderness. Or anywere for that matter. If your gonna show it you better have a ligit reason, and know that a 12 person jury will agree with you or you will be in serious sh@#$. And Shooting someone for low holin is not gonna win there vote. I hope the guy who brandished the weapon goes down hard for it.
And to the guide that has been NAMED! You better adjust your methods or next time you may cut off the wrong person, Not that you havent already...You already are getting bad referals of river eticut and I bet your clients for the day wont call you again.If anyone asks what do I know about you I would have to tell them to look elswere for a guide, Your methods are lame and oldschool. If this is what you have to do to make a living then maybe your not cut out for it and should retire or find a different career. The guy who runs this board consistantly catches many, many fish and never worries about being first. He is usally playing cleanup and consistantly catches more than anyone on the same drift. Even the as@holers...I mean low holers. I think you've guided a long, long time and times are changin, So must you and your attitude. I will make your day a guides living hell if you lowhole me. And I wont do anything Illegal...Because I have no money to lose or clients to impress, I'll have enough fun just makin your day a living hell!

P.S. Just for the record.
I do usally have a pistol with me. Its my Constitutional right PERIOD...Right or wrong in your mind...There are people who have the sence to carry a pistol responcibly PERIOD.
