I don't get out into the woods often, but I'm just chicken shite to be out there without a handgun. I have been of the mind that the La. open carry laws apply to this. Is that correct?

I also have the faint hope that a deer will walk close enough for me to get a pistol shot off

But I have actually killed a deer with a S&W Mod 10 2" 38 special on a bet. Shot it behind the ear with a +p at about seven yards.

In my hands, I only had a crack barrel 45-70. I was glad to have my trusty G19 on my hip. They were dumb dogs and never knew I was there but if they had seen me who knows what would have happened.

If you lean your primary against a tree while taking a dump you might need the pistol to defend yourself from a shiteater!

Too dark to tell. I can assure you, had they raised their voices in my direction it would not have mattered.

A lot of people use bolt-actions. That's not going to be a lot of help if you have something coming at you.

EDIT: I think I get what you're saying. The use of a period would probably have cleared up the confusion. I bow hunt 90% of the time even during rifle season. When its rifle season I carry my 9mm when I'm bowhunting. My rifles are semi-auto rifles so I have 4-5 shots w/o the bolt so I like my chances. I mainly rifle hunt when I take my kids. Any other time I have gotten to where I just prefer the bow, a treestand and my 9mm.

(Posted on 2/10/13 at 9:55 pm to LSULEFTY) I don't carry when I'm deer(rifle) hunting. My 9mm can't do anything my 30-06 can't do. But I will if I'm squirrel/rabbit hunting. Just in case a hog gets brave.

(Posted on 2/10/13 at 9:55 pm to LSUtiger17) I'd be better off with the bolt action. I like shooting pistols for fun, but I don't want to HAVE to use one. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not very good with them.
