I've never packed on my boat, but I had a situation a few nights ago where I REALLY wished I was.

I was at a secluded ramp in Indiana. No other boats on the water, no other cars in the lot.

Some yahoos came through the campground and started yelling at me from the shore. I really paid no attention to them.

An hour later, nearly dark, I put the boat back on the trailer and am getting all my stuff together and here comes 2 guys down the ramp. One guy on one side another guy on the other.

They are about 20-30 yards away and I ask them how they are doing......no answer. Something serious is going down. They are going to rob me, beat me up....whatever......

As they get closer, I yell over to them to hold on a minute cause I got something for them, and I open up my rod locker and start to reach into it.......

Both of those SOB's ran off like a couple scared chickens, but the only thing I had in the locker was a paddle......I'm assuming they though I was packing.......

Now a couple questions for people who KNOW.....

* First, what is legal for me to carry.
* What is EASIER to carry.
* What can I carry in Indiana AND KY.

I will definitely be looking into this and getting something soon.

I though about a semi-auto handgun with some decent stopping power, but I also thought about a pump shotgun.

What do you guys think.

Later,
