Going to the courthouse this week to get my CCW permit and will not be unarmed again, even on my own land.
It amazes me how ballsy some of these guys are. Last year I thought the wood line entrance to one of my stands seemed too well travelled. It was still dark and I was all set in my stand when I saw a light moving thru the timber in my direction. When it got within about 40 yds I flashed my mag lite at him and his light went out. He's lucky I didn't climb down and hide behind a tree to greet him with a fist in the mouth.
