Yesterday, after recently moving back to SD, i went out and tried my luck fishing, both out of a kayak and on shore but no luck. As it's a bit close to a very small town and secluded with dense trees and undergrowth, I wanted something to have for emergencies. I am trying to see if things are OK here or if there are increasing chances of bad people showing up.
I carried my little Ruger SR22 with 3 mags of CCI Minimag hp the whole day, it's not much, but it's there also incase any rattlers show up as well. It's also small enough to pocket carry. Also, I didn't want to risk possibly losing my bigger pistol in the lake.
