Carry Handgun in Woods

[bbarker]

What kind of handgun do you carry with you when you are just walking or hiking in the woods? Auto or revolver? Caliber? I thought there was a governor that carried a LCP and shot a coyote with it while walking with his granddaughter.

 

[eldirector]

I carry everywhere legal, so yes. Walking in the woods, in the park, and even around the neighborhood.

 

[Sylvain]

Why wouldn't you carry there.

 

[shooter1054]

I always carry in the woods. If it's legal, I carry.

That would be Governor Perry. I was living in TX at the time. Was a big deal on all the local news there.

 

[RGriff69]

I carry an LCR when walking in my woods

 

[85t5mcss]

Yep, why wouldn't I? I don't want Bambi mauling me.

Seriously, I don't get into the woods much, but I still carry. Copperheads are more of an issue than Coyotes, though. Deer and Turkey usually don't bother me.

 

[matt4shadow]

Always

Sorry, I did not phrase that right. It was meant as a question as to what kind of gun you take when you are walking about the woods.

 

[kwatters]

Glock 17, I conceal carry so the yotes don't know I have it.

 

[Chance]

Revolver

S&W K17 or 686

Depending on the season, I almost always have my LCP in my pocket, and either my 1911 or Glock 26 with me, if deer season is in, my Superblackhawk will come along for the walk.

I carry my 1911 gsg.. Mostly for woodchucks...

 

[9mmfan]

For extended strolls in the woods, my GP 100 gets the nod.
Makes me feel like a real cowboy

 

[eldirector]

Oh... what KIND of gun.

Springfield XD40DC. Same one I carry the rest of the time. I may switch holsters, but I don't switch guns.

My uncle used to backpack, and carried a snub-nosed .38 Special. Mostly for 4-legged critters, but you never know.

Only once have I had an animal problem in the woods. That was a stray dog. Everything else (snakes, coyotes, bears) didn't need a gun, just a bit of caution and we went our separate ways. Even the stray just needed a walking stick to the rump, and he ran off.

 

[AutoMovt]

My 1911 or 44Mag revolver

 

[agreen0170]

I carry a Glock 23C no matter where I am at.

 

[slipnotz]

Depends on hunting season and what I think I may run across. Anything from a 22 to 44 mag.

 

[JohnP82]

For me it is the same gun that is always on me. G27 and maybe a BUG or two. As far as my carry gun I do not mix it up very much at all.

I am in the woods a lot...........I fell in love with the 3at Kel-Tec.....with the extended magazines it shoots quite well.
