Anybody ever notice if you're going fishing,  or are currently fishing at the time, the cops are more likely to go easy on you?
For instance, my buddy and I were driving from Asheville, NC to Lake Murray, SC at about 4 in the morning. Going about 88 MPH in my Tundra 5.7 Iforce in a 70 Mph zone.     Just for honesty's sake, I will admit that we had Adderal pills, a case of Coors,  and I had an illegal .22 pistol under the seat.    Ok....  cop pulls us over,  we are wired tight as a Banjo, looking suspicious. Windows tinted black, and I had 22's on my truck at that time.  (I thought I was cool)    He approaches us VERY cautiously,  and looks at us like we're the Mexican cartel. So I told him "we're in a hurry to get to lake Murray"  he looks in the back seat, sees all the tackle,  and then you see his expression change from " I'm gonna shoot these guys"   to  " I feel like I've known these guys all my life "    He lets us off with a warning and tells us " good luck "

Hey tough guys...

I'm a part of the "posse", but unless you are in law enforcement, you have NO authority
other than "self protection".  Our "rights" demand responsibility.  Regardless of what you
post on a fishing website, be VERY careful in real life.

Actually, your rights regarding the use of deadly force to defend your life or the lives of others vary from state to state. If you're going to carry a gun, make sure you know the laws in your state.

I live in the wonderful (pun intended) state of Illinois...the only state where no form of carrying is allowed.  Thanks to Chicago.  I won't get into all that though....it makes my blood boil.  Ya'll should realize how fortunate you are to be able to carry and have that peace of mind.  I do carry when I'm on private property (legal) and I do keep a gun in my truck ( in a case, mags loaded, but gun not loaded---legal).  Maybe one day they will finally let us carry...pretty well the whole state is for it but Chicago...Downstate lawmakers (where I live) are pushing for it hard only to be shot down.
