The important thing is to make sure there is only one version of the story of what happened! Frank

Must be a pretty crazy park in order for you to feel that it is prudent for you to carry a firearm. Just get yourself the new AK-12 and strap it to your back. Just think how safe you'd feel with an assault rifle stapped to your back in that park.

Remember this the day _____ happens . "When seconds count the police are only minutes away .."

I’d love to carry while out detecting but I’m in Califailia and getting a CCW here is about as likely as winning the lottery. I wonder if I told them I MD regularly if it would matter.

It sucks that you have to employ a Constitutional liberty in order to be safe and enjoy freedom. If I had to do that, pack heat to feel safe, I would just move to a safer place. Freedom to move away from crappy unsafe places is perhaps the greatest liberty of all. Happy tectin to all!

Agreed, a life lived in fear just ain't a live worth livin.

And where would that be these days? Ever here the saying "he was such a good kid in a small town I don't know where he went wrong". Unfortunately bad ppl are everywhere not just "unsafe places". Plenty of it has to do with drugs and booze I'm sure.

And when the officer pulled over the little old lady and, upon finding that she was legally carrying several pistols, asked just what she was afraid of, she replied, "Not a dang thing sonny, not a dang thing."

You see, there's such a thing as a difference between fear and caution. Legally carrying a handgun in a remote or potentially dangerous environment has no more to do with fear than saying I buy homeowner's insurance because I live in constant fear that my house will catch on fire.

In life we are all given the right to make decisions. In our great country of cultural diversity, it is not given for all of us to understand why others do the things they do or choose to live where they live. For instance, I have always lived where, should you see a young fella walking down the street with a shotgun, you just figure he's going hunting where-as, in another place it might logically be assumed he's out to rob the nearest Seven-Eleven.

No, big hunks of metal down near the coil will not cause false readings. Big hunks of metal down near the coil will cause actual true real readings, which is kinda silly actually, since the readings are actually true, having been caused by a real big metal target, down low near the coil, and metal detectors read on metal near the coil. I guess this just did not occur to you, but you see what I am getting at. The reading could not possibly be false.
