A very serious issue that I will add a little of humor to for Geo:

I have seen you cast and you have a hard time hitting THE WATER FROM THE BOAT SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF KY LAKE AT 4 FEET OVER SUMMER POOL. You better get something totally automatic with a clip that holds about 200 hollow point bullets and some duct tape to hold down the trigger and still wait to see their whites of the eyes before you start pumping lead. Even with all this my guess only a flesh wound is all the potentially bad guys would get, which would get infected and then they would take you to court and end up getting all of your fishing stuff in a settlement anyways. Done laughing now. I don't own a gun, never have owned a gun for I don't hunt. I do carry a mean set of tools with me in my Explorer and Boat that will do some damage plus some really nice long metal flashlights to which I have put tacky tape on the grip to make sure when I swing it is still attached to my hand after crushing a skull or two. Whatever you do, RESEARCH it all up front as to not get yourself in trouble is all I ask
