Be smart about your carry

What you guys need is a big movie about some nice yuppies from California who come to the northwest and get terrorized by backwoods yokels.
Deliverance still makes yankees think twice about coming to the south.

Have you been to the South lately? Charlotte is New New York and Florida is a suburb of New Jersey. Atlanta got lost a long time ago.

hunting high cascade buck in early season lets you meet many people on the PCT.
I have had several occasions where people stop and give me a lecure on guns and hunting. So open carry is an invitation to a conversation. Of course it was a rifle so hard to conceal. I just stand there and say nothing back or just keep walking . Usually after a minute they give up and mumble as they walk on.

I would have given advice on saving him some trouble of conceal carrying.. But Id NEVER tell someone to not open carry.

I've never felt the need to carry on a day hike, it would just be dead/awkward weight to me.

The first time I was ever shot at I was 16 and on a quick evening hunt with my older brother. We were in the woods up Rocky Point Road outside of Scappoose. 3 guys, unproked in any way and whose presence we were unaware of, fired around 30 shots at us. They only paused when my brother fired off 3 rounds before we crawled back to the paved road and contacted law enforcement. 2 of the guys were felons, all the firearms were stolen. Never before that day did I think anything like that would ever happen. Never do I go into the woods anymore unless I have a firearm, or dead weight as you put it.

I don't know how the law has changed over the years, but long ago it was legal in Oregon to carry a concealed handgun without a permit if you were hunting, fishing, or prospecting. Anyone know if that's still true?
