My New Concealed Carry Weapon Arrived in the Mail Today

[Jackal1]

PETA has arrived.

I’d show you all a picture of my Concealed Carry Weapon, but I think there’s a rule against showing pictures of butt cracks.

Well even if you did post it some moron would probably look you up and hit you in the face not knowing it would cause no pain whatsoever .

Nothing is wrong with owning guns or even killing varmints (if they are truely causing some kind of harm). The onus was on the glee at shooting them and enjoying the long fall and bounce off the rocks into the river where they made a wonderful bloody splash. True sportsmanlike fun there.

Actually, it is considered the very highest level of sportsmanship, to make an instant kill, that causes the animal to not suffer.

Would you rather that I skewer them with an arrow, and let them slowly bleed to death?  

Think about it.   If you were the animal, which way would you prefer to die?

After all, when one's brain explodes, you really don't feel a thing.

Man is the only predator that shows compassion to his prey, and strives not to make them suffer.  I certainly do everything that I can to avoid any unnecessary suffering when hunting, no matter what kind of animal I am hunting.  In the wild, many predators have no problem at all at feeding on their prey while they are even still alive.

That is absolute RUBBISH.

Those marmots were eating the farmer's alfalfa, which is the crop he raises to sell to ranchers for feed.   That is how he earns his living.

Farmers do not work their butts off to raise food  to feed rodents.  They are very happy to have hunters reduce the rodent population.

Really?

So the marmots you killed that were "living in the gorge" were eating alfalfa?

I didn't read the other thread.. or don't recall but I agree that it is the right thing to cause animals as little suffering as possible.  Same for humans.. lethal injection for those who need to be put out of their missery.   Not big on torture.

The ugly old dude in the foreground is me, on one of my killing trips to eastern Oregon.

My hobby is shooting and killing things, both for real, and in games. I had fun picking off some marmots that were living in rocks at the top of the gorge, which runs for many miles. I managed to get a couple to slip off rocks when hit, and then plunge way down towards the river.

So Riflelance...Sig...whatever.. .tell us again how you are humanely killing these creatures and saving the farmers from the swarms of marmots?

You managed to get them to slip off rocks when hit...doesn't sound very humane to me.

In fact it sounds unstable as hell.

Any of you that have eating meat as a hobby are directly supporting some of the most gruesome killing that happens on this planet.

There's blood on just about everyone's hands, one way or the other. Unless you're one of the rare Vegans that assiduously practice that lifestyle, shunning all animal related products.

Look, I admit that I killed a couple of them that day that were not right near Alfalfa fields.    I was actually quite surprised that there were a few so far from any decent food sources.   Usually they congregate close to where they have good eating.  They must of had to travel pretty far for food.

But 99% of these animals that I have shot have been on Agricultural lands, not public lands.   And that included even most of the animals that I shot on that particular day.  After all, these animals only thrive in great numbers where there is a stable food source.

But, you know, you have had such an extremely condescending and critical attitude towards me over this issue ( the killing of stupid rodents ), that I am now going to make it a point next Spring to find some really quality public land to hunt on, simply to spit those here who have attacked me on this issue.   There are some high elevation areas of our state where this family of rodents ( marmots ), do live in smaller numbers in alpine pastures.  

Now I will have to do a heck of a lot of hiking to do this, but it has been over a year now since my knee surgery, so I think I will be fully up to it by next Spring.  I've been slowly building myself back up since the operation.  It was not until last July that I was finally able to do some serious hiking again at around the 6000 ft level.  Besides, I should be able to enjoy some really pretty countryside, besides getting some good exercise too.

So thanks so very,very much for your inspiration in this matter.   For I would never have decided to go to so much extra effort and trouble to make such a more difficult hunt, if it had not been for your unfair attacks on me here in this forum.  You have really managed to light an inspirational fire under me.

This should be an awesome hunt in a most scenic and wild area.   Hikers in that region that I have heard about report that the high altitude marmots there are quite tame, as they are basically never hunted, due to their remote location.  They thus have no fear at all of man.   Consequently, I should be able to get in some super easy close range shots.  Shots of only 50 yards may well be possible, instead of the usual 200 to 300 yard shots that I am used to.

The survivors will no doubt flee in the future whenever they see any human beings walking down the mountain trails again.  Hikers will no longer enjoy the sight of curious marmots checking them out.   Instead, the rodents will cower in fear, and give their little warning barks to each other that danger is nearby.

Please provide your email address, and I will then be sure to email you some photos next May of the animals that I slay in your honor.   I am off now to check some of my maps, and begin my advance planning of which trails to take for this hunt.   This is will be in a Wilderness area where no roads are allowed.   But I believe that it should only be about a 3 hour hike, to reach this place from the trail head.

Fortunately, there are no extra restrictions on hunting in Federal Wilderness areas.  It is no different than a Federal Forest regarding hunting seasons.  And permits for access to hike in are very easy to obtain.

No doubt I will pass some hikers who are PETA members on the trail who will be super pissed off to see that I am carrying a rifle with me.   If they make any comments to me about it not being Deer Season, I'll be sure to fully explain to them that I am varmint hunting, and will give you full credit for my decision to make this out of the way hunt in such a remote and wild location.

Thanks again for inspiring me to be even more politically incorrect than before.  You are a real credit to the animal hugging left.

There is a vivid difference between a "death sentence" which would connotate a moral judgment and who should be making that judgment, as contrasted to cause and affect in a shooting situation in progress, in my well considered opinion.

If a man were holding a gun and is about to shoot your child and he has already shot other people's children who are laying dead and dying and you had a concealed gun, what would you do?

This is an effort to empathize in another way... empathy for your child's life over the live of a gunman in the act of killing your child.

In my view it is morally justified and your duty to take that gunman down.

This is very well thought out.  I agree completely.  Unfortunately, many jurors and judges do not.  Quite frankly I consider them to be little better than the criminals they protect.

Do you have children, or is that hypothetical?  I am not disagreeing, I'm just curious.

be dammed if i hike for 3 hours in the mountains just to shoot some rats.

Sensitive man is going to torment varmints in another location because some internet bullies were unfair to him. And that is supposed to impress anyone... how? It would be ironic if you broke your arse on this hike.. O what fun the guys poking sticks at you would have then.

He's trying to get the goat of the limp-wristed pansies, and for good reason, too.  I think it'll work.
