I carry two balls in my nutsack. Gets me by without problems up here.
I figure if someone wants to give me a problem there is about 4000 pounds and 400hp under my foot to solve the problem.
I only take my knife when I go camping or hiking in the woods.
All of the guns down south is one of the many reasons why I will not travel to the USA. Doesn't seem safe to me. Far to easy to say the wrong thing to some owner that is having a really bad day and hopefully the bullet holes are only in the car. My mouth has been known to start flapping before my brain engages.
Strangely enough, single shot and hunting rifles do not bother me one little bit. But then again their purpose more acceptable to me.
