Well my back is trash, so there is no way I am getting into a fight. When I need a cane, sometimes I need 2.. They are not a favorite for me, because when I need the 0ne or two I hurt, which makes me even more grumpy.
I don't give much thought to state laws and what they have to say. If i did I couldn't leave NH to attend any gun events could I?
So I just pack it and go as I please. The last time I was out of state for a while I was headed to Sunny Cal and back with my wife on a Kawii Nomad, motorcycle. Hit 40 states armed, and never had a need, but I almost did, so it was worth it for me.
I crashed on pine ridge, breaking 3 ribs, and injuring my wife's elbow. We were taken in by a local women who was in a bit of a stew and so we found that out the very next day.
Over the radio we learned 20 armed men were coming to throw out all the whites, of which we were 2. All sorts of cops showed up, and found us as a part of 'all the whites'.
The cops asked my wife if she were armed and she said no, but they should talk with me. I was in bed nursing my ribs and that is where the chat took place.
It was determined I would be allowed to remain armed.
Another thing is the Fedral laws states that if we are legal going from a legal place, in my case my home and home state, that so long as you will be legal where ever you end up, you are legal. I was planing to come back to NH.
So I maintain I was legal everyday, except when I got to yellow stone, because i thought of yellow stone as a National Forest, and didn't know it was a 'Park'. I had no choice but to remain silent..
The fire arms were both locked in cases at most times anyway because I cn't exactly shoot and ride and that doesn't come under SD anyway.
I have suffered fools before, and the last thying I ever want them to know is I am armed. I am not hasty to brandish. Pretty much if a bad guy sees the fire arm it is going to be the last thing he ever sees.
If I with draw the weapon I am going to fire it. I have suffered fools who find I am armed and they stop before I with draw the weapon... I guess I can live with that.
The other gun is a .40 cal Kentuck Long rifle we brought in the event we tripped over Lewis and Clark doin's.. We didn't so it was moot.
