Yeah, I had read the original news report and saw 300K. I still thought that was light.I didn't read where he is out on bond. Someone on here said $30K but it is $300K.

Absolutely. I always carry a secondary.They probably weren't thinking straight and/or high.
That said, there are some really nice Kydex chest holsters out there and I would rather have to spend a few minutes cleaning a pistol that got wet in the blind when I got home than getting robbed/killed.
Thugs shot one guy [probably in the leg] and the others did the smart thing and lived to hunt again.
Smart move IMO..
I like to keep them on their toes and go full on code black. They may win, but I guarantee they’ll need a decade or better of counseling.I usually have on a coat over waders. If I see you before you see me I will reach into my waders and pull it out and put it in one of my pockets. Then be very polite when we meet. But I'll be in Orange the whole time. These hunters were unfortunately and sadly in Condition White.
Some habits are a wonderful thing to learn and use.
Cooper’s Color Codes of Mental Awareness
WHITE - Unaware and unprepared. If attacked in Condition White, the only thing that may save you is the inadequacy or ineptitude of your attacker. When confronted by something nasty, your reaction will probably be "Oh my God! This can't be happening to me."
YELLOW - Relaxed alert. No specific threat situation. Your mindset is that "today could be the day I may have to defend myself". You are simply aware that the world is a potentially unfriendly place and that you are prepared to defend yourself, if necessary. You use your eyes and ears, and realize that "I may have to shoot today". You don't have to be armed in this state, but if you are armed you should be in Condition Yellow. You should always be in Yellow whenever you are in unfamiliar surroundings or among people you don't know. You can remain in Yellow for long periods, as long as you are able to "Watch your six." (In aviation 12 o'clock refers to the direction in front of the aircraft's nose. Six o'clock is the blind spot behind the pilot). In Yellow, you are "taking in" surrounding information in a relaxed but alert manner, like a continuous 360 degree radar sweep. As Cooper put it, "I might have to shoot."
ORANGE - Specific alert. Something is not quite right and has your attention. Your radar has picked up a specific alert. You shift your primary focus to determine if there is a threat (but you do not drop your six). Your mindset shifts to "I may have to shoot that person today", focusing on the specific target which has caused the escalation in alert status. In Condition Orange, you set a mental trigger: "If that person does "X", I will need to stop them". Your pistol usually remains holstered in this state. Staying in Orange can be a bit of a mental strain, but you can stay in it for as long as you need to. If the threat proves to be nothing, you shift back to Condition Yellow.
RED - Condition Red is fight. Your mental trigger (established back in Condition Orange) has been tripped. "If "X" happens I will shoot that person".
I was referring to what it would take for a bondsman to get him out.Yeah, I had read the original news report and saw 300K. I still thought that was light.
Some years back I was in a stupor and ended up in a confrontation in the hood. Was surrounded by 6 dudes, and prob another dozen of their buddies watching . In my infinite wisdom I just stripped butt naked and started screaming at the top of my lungs about anything deranged I could think of. They actually got pretty freaked out and dispersed. Then an older gentleman came up to me and offered to take me to “the 6th floor” (the mental ward at the local hospital). I told him no I just had to diffuse the situation. He said “ain’t no shame in it man. Why don’t we get you over there. They know how to help people like you.”I like to keep them on their toes and go full on code black. They may win, but I guarantee they’ll need a decade or better of counseling.
I don’t unload any of mine til they go back in the safe...this is why you never unload you gun until you can see what is around your vehicle..... mine is never unloaded until i know the area is safe.
