Carrying a firearm while night detecting

[Luckyjinks59]

Anyone carrying a firearm while detecting the beach at night. I'm not crazy about leaving it in my car unattended

I don’t beach detect but I do sometimes conceal carry depending on what part of town I’m detecting in. I also in those areas have my headphones down around my neck and just have the volume turned up higher. That way I can hear my surroundings better while also hearing my detector, while also not blaring my detector to the public.

Im armed 95% of the time with a .45, and I always carry at night when beach hunting.

Yes, I am about 95% unless I'm working out heavily or in the water. I carry either a 9mm or a .45 just depends on the day

Get yourself a safe for your auto !!!!! I did and will continue using it and I have a weapon on me 100% of the time OR with in reach at night ! I did have a CCP for several years but Missouri said we didn't need it anymore BUT I liked having it for traveling across our GREAT LAND ! I very raerly travel anymore

One cardinal rule about concealed carrying is simply this—Don't ever casually admit or tell anyone you carry! If you think about it, you'll understand why this is a cardinal rule!

I also still have my conceal permit even though Florida no longer requires it, in fact open carry is now legal in Florida. I keep my conceal permit for travel to other states.

Yes, open carry is legal here in Florida, but I'm not seeing it being practiced. I prefer to keep mine covered

If allowed, I carry. Leaving it in a car I would never do unless I have too for some weird reason. The majority of issues that I've heard about usually involved:
A) Unlocked
B) Plain sight
C) No general effort to try and make it difficult.
Criminals by their very nature are lazy and don't want any confrontation whether a physical lock or standing your ground and not being an easy target.

Being on the beach at night is probably not the safest thing, but I feel it's my right to be there as I please. There is always the scoop and a large dive knife on my belt

Keeping your weapon in your car while you're off somewhere else makes no sense. You may as well leave it in your gun safe.

I agree 100%. Either you should carry 24/7 or not at all
