Silly boys! 

The gun ain't the weapon

Than why did you say "cocked and locked"?  That's a common term for the readiness status of a 1911 style pistol.

Tangent airlines now departing!

Never said the guns were cocked, locked, & ready to rock!

The gun is just a tool, the soldier is the weapon!

Man, that hurts the fishing communities hearts! I pray for his family to make it through this horrible times. I hate that in some places you fear to go fishing. We shouldn't fear or have to be worried about something like this!! These past years hit a lot of us hard, with Keith poche's nephew being murdered, now to all these great guys being murdered! I pray for all the families! Everyone be safe, an I wanna thank all Police, Fire, Emt's, an expecially our GREAT military!

We need to understand that we as group have garnered the attention of a group of individuals who do not have our best interest at heart.

We see a Skeeter, Ranger, or BassCat at launch, they see a $100k plus opportunity!

Big one around here is while ya out fishing someone drills a hole in your fuel tank, not only do you have no fuel ya can't put in until ya stop the leak!

Even the local crack heads have learned your rod-n-reel combo is worth stealing!

Once again we need to be educated, informed (spread the word) & prepared!

If it aint come to your neighborhood yet hold on it is!

Very sad. You have to watch your back when you do anything these days, it's unfortunate what some people do.

That's ridiculous..Luckily haven't dealt with any issues while fishing..yet.
I deal with the occasional dummy who decides to fish right next to me, but nothing too serious.
Liberal NY doesn't allow me to carry, otherwise I would, never know anymore..

 

My prayers go out to their families

Another reason i hate living in the south west. The lake where i catch all my giant bass you have to bring a kevlar vest and helmet out there to fish because of all the idiots shooting or shooting at you or shooting at the water towards you to skip bullets. You should see two iraq vets out there when people start shooting I'm sure that is a sight to see. Wish i could go back to northern michigan already! Prayers for the families!

I wouldn't put myself in a position to die , especially over a fish. No fish is worth  death..

 

Especially when you have a family of your own.

West Virginia leads the Nation in prescription drug abuse and overdoses. It is so bad now the state legislature legalized open and concealed carry so citizens can protect themselves and their families. 

I never step out of my truck without my gun and its in my hand when I walk from the dock to my truck after dark or before daylight.

 

There are places worse than others.

 

One small small pond I fish with my kayak is located near a very sketchy area and the boat ramp constantly has cars pulling up and sitting and then leaving at ALL hours.  One night I was about to go to ramp when a car pulled up at 1 am and sat there for 15 minutes.

Don't be silly or play ignorant please, since when Canada is a world leader in the production of crystal meth or pot or serves as the most important route for cocaine trafficking into the US ?

Im glad this forum has no political talk rules. This forum would be a disaster without those rules.

Folks God has been run out of the United States , i'm glad to see so much about Pray on this site without  us being band from this site. As John Hagee , A preacher out of Texas said , When God was run out of the class room , Guns came in . We don't even have the right to bow our head & pray , if you watch the news you know what i'm talking about . I love Fishing to its too bad we need to carry a gun , i got a 9 MM to & its loaded.

Let's not turn this into a political debate.  It's verboten here, and this is definitely a political issue.
