Big Man said:Back in the early 1970's we had a group of friends, boys and girls, who did a lot of backpacking. One time we were out on the Appalachian Trail in the middle of nowhere. We made camp just off the trail at the edge of a field. While unpacking for the evening, out from my bedroll came a .44 Mag. that I always carried (but never "flashed" to my trail partners). One of the girls in the group was what could best be described as a "tree hugger", and really started in to me on having that gun. "What are you scared of ?", "why do you feel the need to have a gun ?", "what are you, some kind of killer?" were some of the comments she started to fling my way. Well, later that night, headlights appeared across that open field, and the red neck music started blaring from the eight-tracks in the pick-up's. Unbeknownst to us, we had managed to pick the "party spot" of the local drunks to camp near. Well, as fast as a bolt of lightning, that girl who gave me such a hard time climbed into my sleeping bag for "protection". And who says the right to carry a gun doesn't have benefits !
Best story I've heard all day.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap
