I carried a Lyman BP revolver while hunting in Montana. Without thinking, I entered as cafe/bar to eat lunch. I felt a very large and strong hand on my shoulder and heard these words: "It is against the law, in this county, to carry any firearm into a place that serves liquor. I am taking your revolver and you can pick it up at my office, when you leave." He did; I did. Actually, a fine learning experience.
PolecatSounds about right bars and liquor stores and schools are exclusion zones as are hospitals.I carried a Lyman BP revolver while hunting in Montana.

odd you should mention it ... my wife knew a woman who hated & feared them ... as if they collectively knew this, she would be subjected to huge swarms of them, while her neighbors where pretty much left alone.
I also have the same agreement with my spouse, so a BP revolver is my EDC, as well.
Well, I am 91 years old and have been all over the world. My co-workers called me "the walker" as I walked all around new places. I walked for hours at night in Istanbul, Turkey and in many states in the USA, Germany, Italy, France [during a terrorist period], Mexico City at 2:00 A.M. etc.. I was only threatened once. That was by a drunk American in Mexico. I am still comfortable without a weapon anywhere. Only once did I carry a revolver, when I was hired as security for nighttime at a large county fair in Idaho and I carried BP. I do carry a BP revolver while hunting. I think that often, when you carry, you open yourself up to becoming dead. Just my 70 years of travel and recreation including 22 years in the military. Polecat
I've carried concealed for over 30 years, and happily haven't yet drawn a handgun in self-defense. Rather like the Biblical thief in the night, if we knew when the intruder was coming we'd be prepared to "greet" him (her, them, it) But, just as the Biblical proverb indicates, since no one knows the moment of the fateful encounter, we are advised to be vigilant and be prepared. (Being vigilant does not mean being a vigilante) I don't know anyone who carries concealed to "instigate trouble". People carry because they wish to be prepared if they can't avoid or escape trouble. Ultimately, it's a personal choice that's heavily regulated in most states and in the event of a shooting results in the concealed carried permit holder being investigated and possibly indicted. No concealed carry permit holder wants to instigate anything. They simply want to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Dumbest post ever.
Respect. I guess I almost always have access to a truck unmentionable or an old wheel gun loaded with unmentionable. I rarely carry in town or even in our biggest mini city her in Vermont. I feel very fortunate to not need a sidearm . However I don't think our rights to have one if you need should ever be infringed upon.
Sounds like a country song
Odd that............Ever notice where the nay-sayers are in some of the most crime ridden democrat states, and cities in the country. One would think the light would come on for them, guess it's something in their water supply.
